Title: How hard is it to follow the instructions?
Review: I felt I had to throw in my 2 cents after seeing all the negative reviews of this product. First of all, it does not require a degree in mechanical engineering to assemble this toy, as my 11 year old was able to do it with no help from any adult. Contrary to what many of these folks say, if you follow the instructions and crush the ice it works perfectly. It takes 4 minutes, as stated in the directions, and is easy enough for any child over 5 to crank. So why all the negative reviews? Quite frankly, some people are morons, period. One guy even questioned this toy's ability to crush the ice for margauritas! The only complaint I have is that the instructions should have warned the user to always clean the ice container out promptly. If you leave it for an extended period the salt will eat a hole in the aluminum. This happened to me and the company sent me a new one free of charge.
