I have some doubt on that, but I can't give you any numbers.
With price, you have to consider the energy cost of freezing the ice.
With performance, this thing is less like a microwave and more like a convection oven. A bucket of ice chills the content from outside to the center. This machine creates a spinning vortex inside the beverage container, bringing the warmer center to the outside to be chilled by the surface (by which this machine blows cold water over it).
The idea behind the machine is pretty simple actually. I think this belongs in the clever invention category.
