Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Margaritaville DM1000 Frozen Concoction Maker
Customer Review: It helps me hang on...
Summary: 5 Stars
Inspired by the Jimmy Buffet song and the mega-successful restaurant chain that followed - the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker not only inspires awe-struck looks from those who see it's shiny components and just plain "cool" operation, it also makes the best frozen drinks you can imagine right at home.
If you see one in a store it just plain catches your eye - be warned that it's not a teeny-tiny blender. It takes up 3 times as much counter space, which means we zip it up in it's also attractive carrying canvas case between sessions. (After all - we're not downing pitchers of mixed drinks every night, are we?)
Then your eye catches the price - Yikes! Can a $200 blender possibly be worth it?
My honey caught the gleam in my eye when we'd pass one on display (plus she likes a good margarita as much as the next or last Parrothead), and put her money down for a gift.
We're both glad she did. I saw a one star review claiming that it does no better job than a $30 blender....
P-shaw!
Just not possible.
What makes it better? It doesn't just BLEND (although it would be more than happy and capable to do that...) No - this delectable device shaves the ice first. (Sometimes we use it just to make shaved-ice treats for sweltering summer evenings...)
You pour a bowlful of ice cubes up into the hopper.
You put the desired amount and type of mix into the pitcher. (For margaritas we use Jose Cuervo Top Shelf - already has the Grand Marnier mixed in!)
You set the can-be-read-in-any-language dial to quantity.
You push the start button.
Sit back and enjoy the brief show: the machine springs to life, shaving your ice cubes into beautiful snow that falls delicately into your mix. After a few seconds the blender starts up. It stops automatically. Pour yourself a salt-rimmed glass of heaven.
You can experiment with quantities of mix and shaved ice: if your margarita is too runny (and I love the suggestion of another reviewer that you chill the pitcher first since the shaved ice melts faster than cubes), you can simply manually activate the shaver (a different easily marked button) to put more snow into your mix, then hit a quick blend.
The parts that touch mix are definitely as easy to disassemble and clean as any blender you ever saw. You may wonder "hey, what happens to the ice cubes up on the top that are NOT shaved?" Easy my pop-top avoiding friend: as they melt the resultant water is redirected to an easy to empty reservoir on the back of the machine.
Okay - it's expensive. But how much would you love a REALLY dreamy and creamy margarita to go with those tacos you're cooking up?
When I go through our list of "life's little luxuries" this thing is right up there with our 52 inch plasma.
