The Hooure is a 68 oz countertop machine that turns chilled liquid into slush, frappe, milkshake or ice cream without pre-freezing a bowl. One-touch programs cover spiked slush, chilled juice, frappe, ice cream and milkshake, and you can adjust texture and freezing time, with a typical run of 15 to 60 minutes. It handles coffee, cream and alcoholic drinks up to 16% ABV, which sets it apart from basic snow cone makers that only crush ice. It suits families and home entertainers who want frozen cocktails and desserts from one machine, though at about 25 lb it stays put on the counter.
