Recommend Your Shaved Ice Machine

Anyone knows of any good shaved ice machine? Any good flavoring as well? Our kids LOVE shaved ice...thought maybe a good xmas gift.

We had a number of shaved ice threads over the summer. Take a look at this article in the NYT for some reviews - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/16/dining/16ice.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=shaved%20ice&st=cse

We got the Snowman and it works well.
