Overview
This Jimmy Buffett signature edition Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker shaves ice and blends up to 36 ounces, with a selector for 1, 2, or 3 twelve-ounce drinks. It's built for home bars and entertaining rather than everyday smoothies.
The 450-watt combined shaving and blending motor is the reason reviewers repeatedly compare the output to a restaurant machine rather than a standard blender crushing ice. Several buyers mention the price is steep for what is functionally a specialty ice-shaving blender, and one noted the instructions for loading ice were unclear at first. Letting ice sit briefly in the reservoir before running it appears to prevent the jamming a couple of reviewers hit early on.
- 450-watt combined shave and blend motor
- 36-ounce blending capacity
- 1, 2, or 3 drink selector dial
- Large-capacity ice reservoir
Who it's for
Fits anyone who entertains regularly and wants restaurant-style frozen margaritas, daiquiris, or snow cones on demand. Not a sensible buy for someone who wants an everyday smoothie blender at a lower price point.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently call the drink quality restaurant-grade and mention using it repeatedly for parties, smoothies, and snow cones. The most common criticism is price, with a couple of buyers also noting the instructions for loading ice weren't intuitive on first use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces restaurant-quality frozen drinks, per reviewers
- Ice reservoir holds enough for about 3 pitchers
- Doubles for snow cones, not just cocktails
- Handled several hours of continuous party use
- Higher price than a standard blender
- Instructions for loading ice were unclear to some buyers
Performance notes
A 450-watt motor drives both the ice-shaving blades and the blending function, with the large ice reservoir holding enough for roughly three pitchers before a refill. The drink selector dial meters out 12-ounce portions for one, two, or three drinks at a time, sizing the shave-and-blend cycle to match.

Can the Margaritaville DM1946 make more than margaritas?
