Ninja - SLUSHi® XL Smart Frozen Drink Maker, 128 oz - Crema

I was looking to get the Ninja Slushi Max but it wasn’t in stock, after some research I decided to get the XL and it is so easy to use, we made blue raspberry slushies and kids loved them. It was fast and easy to clean. We will be using this a lot this summer and looking forward to making some delicious frappes and milkshakes with this. All in all, great product worth the price.

Hooked on since day one, kids and wife love it! Got it just in time for the hot days.

OMG!!! MY GIRLS ONCE THEY IT ARRIVED THEY HAVE NOT STOPPED ENJOYING THE DELICIOUS SLUSHIES. THEY ARE SO EXCITED AND READY FOR THE SUMMER TO ENJOY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. AND NOT TO MENTION COMPARED TO THE OTHER SLUSHIE MACHINES THIS ONE IS SO FAST SO NOMORE WAITING OVER AN HOUR JUST MINUTES AND ENJOY

If you've ever dreamed of being able to make a Wendy's Frosty anytime you wanted one, now you can! This Ninja SLUSHi XL exceeded my expectations and I expect it to be a staple in our home for many weekends to come. Pros: - It is well designed / easy to use. Directions are very clear and it comes with plenty of ideas to get you started. - Drinks have turned out great each time I've used it. So far we've used cans of Coke to make Coke Slushies and also some delicious chocolate milkshakes (see photos). We were able to make milkshakes for 4, at an estimated total cost of $5 for ingredients. That's about the cost of just 1 milkshake if you are buying from a restaurant. So not only are you saving money, but you can ensure that fresh ingredients are being used and you can get very creative with your own recipes. - I was worried that it would be difficult to clean but it was surprisingly easy! - The automated design of the machine is excellent. It provides a digital readout to let you know what's going on and when the beverage is ready and it also detects when more liquid or sugar needs to be added. It works very quickly, about 10-15 minutes depending on what you are making. - No ice is required! Cons: - It's a fairly large appliance so make sure you have the counter space or a place to store it when not in use. This is certainly a luxury item, but one that will get a lot of use in most households. It will in mine!

I've been putting off getting a Ninja SLUSHi for a few years now because the idea of cleaning it after each use sounded exhausting. I'm glad my kiddos finally pushed me to pull the trigger. The SLUSHI XL is the best of both worlds - It is wickedly easy to clean and it's insanely fast at making slusheis. We have only had it for a week and we've enjoyed a frozen treat almost every day so far. CLEANING/MAINTENANCE: Cleaning a slushy machine was my number one objection when thinking about pulling the trigger. I timed myself cleaning the SLUSHi XL after our last batch - It took me less than ten minutes! Ninja has it down to a 3 step process. 1) DRAIN & RINSE - Place the SLUSHi XL on the edge of your sink and drain. Once it's done, fill it with water from your tap and run the rinse cycle. After the unit stops spinning - drain it again. 2) BREAK DOWN & WASH - After you drain your rinse cycle, you can pull the lever and remove the tank, mixer, and drip tray. I typically use warm water and soap to do a quick scrub inside the tank and the mixer usually only needs a quick rinse. The condensation drip tray is easily removed and frees up room to give the metal cylinder a quick wipe down. 3) ASSEMBLY & DRYING - Once everything is clean, you can either let it air dry or wipe everything down with a dry cloth. I personally reassemble the unit and leave the top off where you add your ingredients - It takes a bit longer to dry but cuts out the hand drying process. Ninja crushed the design of the container. There are virtually no seams in the plastic so you won't have issues with ingredients getting caught in little cracks and crevices in the housing. Any objections you may have related to cleaning are null and void. SLUSHASSIST TECHNOLOGY: The SlusAssist technology is spot-on and takes all of the guess work out of tossing in your favorite beverage and getting a perfect slushy every time. I have yet to experience a beverage that didn't slush - you do have to be mindful when it comes to sugar content. You won't be able to get away with sugar free options with this machine. Sugar is needed to properly achieve the ideal frozen consistency for the perfect slushy and thanks to the SlusAssist, it will let you know if you need to add more sugar or water. All you have to do is dump in your drink and walk away - in 15-20 minutes, you're ready to rock. CAPACITY: 128oz is the perfect size in my opinion. This makes the container large enough for entertaining and small enough to make a handful of servings if you don't have the company to warrant tossing in a full 2 liter of your favorite soda. VERDICT: The SLUSHi XL from Ninja is a crowd pleaser and it's simply awesome. There's literally no excuse not to make slushies whenever and wherever you want. I am still amazed that I can have 128 ounces of slushy in less than 20minutes - whenever we want! Gone are the days of having to cart the kids to Seven Eleven for a sweet treat. If the idea of cleaning and maintaining a slushy machine at home has been stopping you - get a Ninja SLUSHi XL and you won't regret it. It doesn't just make a killer slushy, it makes memories.
