Kowaku Electric Ice Cream Maker vs Reemix Electric Shaved Ice Machine

These are different machines. The Kowaku is a freezer-bowl ice cream maker: you pre-freeze the bowl, pour in a mix, and it churns soft ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt in roughly 15 to 25 minutes. The Reemix is a shaved ice machine that grinds ice cubes into snow for cones and drinks. Buy the Kowaku for dessert from a liquid base; buy the Reemix for snow cones and slush from ice. Neither is a heavy-duty appliance, and both suit small households and kids rather than daily volume.

• Choose the Kowaku if you want to make ice cream, sorbet or frozen yogurt from a milk or fruit base and can keep the bowl in the freezer overnight.
• Choose the Reemix if you want snow cones, shaved ice desserts or slush drinks and already have ice cubes on hand.
