FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions for the Sno Cone Machine

Does the rental come with sno cone juice?
Sno cone juice is available for purchase separately. Each bottle of juice includes a set of cups so you're covered there.

Do we need to supply ice?
Yes. You will need to buy and store your own ice at the event. Most customers bring cooler-style bags or standard coolers to keep the ice ready throughout the day.

Is a scoop included?
Yes. A scoop is standard with the rental and comes cleaned, sanitized, and ready to use.

Is the machine clean?
Absolutely. We thoroughly clean and sanitize the entire machine — including the blade area, the hopper, and the catch tray — before every rental.

How difficult is it to operate?
It’s simple. Turn it on, feed the ice into the top, and scoop the shaved ice into your cups. We’ll walk you through operation at drop-off if needed.

Do you offer discounts?

Setup was very smooth and everything was perfect. Very nice and friendly! Communication before and during the event was top notch. Cleanliness of the inflatable both inside and out was outstanding. This was the perfect addition to my boys Firetruck Birthday party!! Definitely recommend Backyard Responders for all of your party needs!

By far the best birthday experience weโ€™ve had! They dropped the bouncy house off on Saturday morning, we had our party Saturday afternoon and they picked up Sunday morning! It was a day with a chance of rain, but we went ahead and did it anyways and had no regrets! We were able to have the party and then at night when it rained, we went out as a family and enjoyed it all night! They were very prompt and ready dropping it off, setting it up and making sure we were good to go and then came first thing Sunday morning to picked everything up! Definitely our go-to low-maintenance birthday party accessory! They did an awesome job and we look forward to using them again!

10/10 recommend Ricky with Backyard Responders! Everything from communication, set up and take down was great and a breeze! They came and set up the bounce house, cleaned it thoroughly, then on pickup they came and picked it up no hassle, didnโ€™t even have to bother us (as it was early the next morning). This was our 1st time ever renting a backyard inflatable and weโ€™ve already said this was a staple at our party so weโ€™ll definitely be doing it for years to come! Thanks Ricky and Backyard Responders!!! You all were fantastic!

We host our annual Strong Families Resource Fair at the Housing Authority of Danville. This year, we had the pleasure of working with Backyard Responders, and Ricky was fantastic! He and his team were very professional and clearly explained all the safety rules for the Firehouse inflatable. The children and their families had a wonderful time. I highly recommend them! Additionally, we rented two tabletop games, Jenga and Connect Four. Thank you, Backyard Responders!

Backyard Responders was absolutley amazing. Knowing a firefighter is at the helm of safety and cleanlienss set my mind at ease. He took over an hour to set the slide up with large anchors and mats. Triple checking for saftey and then sanitized the entire slide. The owner Ricky was polite, punctual and truly loves bringing joy to kiddos with these slides. I would not recommend anyone else for slides or water slides!! I will be a repeat customer!!!

I had the best experience with Backyard responders. Very kind, So helpful, Responds to questions in a timely manner, and did great in helping give my son a great party!! The process is so easy and the bounce houses are squeaky clean. I chose the USA bounce house, It was a hit for all the kids!! Both little and big lol. Everyone was so impressed & we will definitely rent again in the future!
