In 1936, George Ortolano created a machine that produced a fine, fluffy shaven snow, similar to that made with blocks of ice and a hand-plane ice shaver. This invention of a simple but ingenious machine transformed blocks of ice used in the household icebox into mounds of delicate snow-like flakes.

Superior engineering, solid craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail stand out on every SnoWizard SnoBall Machine^®. Our precision welded stainless steel cabinet, perfectly machined aluminum castings and old-world craftsmanship result in a finely honed machine built to last a lifetime. So well, that not one single SnoWizard SnoBall Machine^® has ever required service for any manufacturing defects in our history that spans over three quarters of a century.

We invite you to look at all other imitation, look-alike block shavers and compare. Only then can you appreciate the SnoWizard^® difference. We warrant that our machines will be free from defects in workmanship and materials and will repair or replace all defective parts, to include labor and return shipping charges, for the life of the machine, to the original purchaser. This is testament to our dedication and craftsmanship in manufacturing the world’s finest ice shaver.
