Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ninja Slushi machine is amazing! Turns liquid into a frozen drink without ice! First some basics. It is roughly 17” high, 17” in length and 6” in width. Fairly compact. It has a 5’ electric cord. My suggestion, find the spot you plan to place it before taking it out of the box. It is fairly heavy. If you have ever used a celery juicer, the Ninja Slushi has a similar construction and uses an auger to keep the liquid moving over the stainless steel (I think it’s stainless) evaporator (chilling cylinder). Like other Ninja products I have used the Slushi machine is designed incredibly well. The manufacturer seems to put so much thought into the design and I for one really appreciate it. A drip tray clips on the front to catch anything that missed the glass when using the pour spout. The thoughtful design includes a little knob on the side of the unit to store the drip tray when the unit is not in use. That’s thoughtful design! (See pictures) After cleaning I poured cold orange juice into the unit and turned it on. The Slushi machine requires a minimum of 16 ounces of liquid and a maximum of 64 ounces. I was trying to estimate 20 ounces for the first slush and as I was pouring in the orange juice, I realized the minimum and maximum levels are marked on the front of the unit (see picture). Within two minutes of setting the machine to frozen juice and three bars on the temperature scale I saw little spots of frozen juice. In 15 minutes, I had an orange juice slushi. Fantastic! The Rinse cycle makes cleaning the machine easy. Pour in hot water then dispense it while the machine is running the “Rinse” cycle. Frozen drinks, no ice required. Easy cleanup. That’s five stars for the Ninja Slushi. One thing about the Ninja products is they have great manuals. They are designed from the user’s perspective, not the manufacturer’s perspective. Everything you need to know is in the manual and it’s written clearly and simply. The pictures and explanations in the manual describe use, cleaning and has recipes. Interesting that the liquid being slushed must contain 4% or more of sugar. Below 4% will cause the liquid to freeze too hard to be a slush. Looking up the unit on the Ninja website it does say sugar substitutes can be used; however, the manual states that artificial sweeteners will not contribute to the 4% sugar requirement.

Ninja comes into the drink game offering a very easy to use frozen drink maker that doesn't take up too much countertop space and actually looks good. For starters, you have very simple setup instructions when you open this and take out of the box. You do have to let it acclimate, in its upright position, for 2 hours prior to actual usage of the machine. There are 5 presets that you can use to make your first few drinks. SLUSH, SPIKES SPLUSH, FRAPPE, MILKSHAKE, and FROZEN JUICE are the presets. The provided instructions and recipe book do provide a bit further reading in order to properly identify if your dink has the appropriate amount of sugars and/or alcohol in order for the consistency of slush to come out decent. The good thing is that if the machine identifies that one or the other is lacking, it will make an audible sound and flash as an alert to let you know that some adjustment to the drink is needed. That's how quick and easy you can get going to start your own slushies. I will say that depending on your preferred consistency, you do have the option to dial up or down the cold temperature of the condenser unit. You can always start your drink with the preset and if it appears that you need to adjust after, you can always make a quick adjustment. Keep in mind that you may have different experiences trying out different types of drinks due to the manufacturer's recipes. I love that you don't need to add ice or mess around with any of the internals until it comes to cleaning the unit itself. It even helps you clean it out with a RINSE feature, just add warm water after emptying out your drink and it will help rinse the machine down without turning on the condenser. I can see this being a hit at parties to have available frozen drinks on tap. It can take 15+ minutes depending on how much drink you have added in. So keep that in mind in case you will need to refill for a larger party every 6 or so drinks.

This frozen drink maker has been a great addition to my arsenal of home entertainment tools. I have been using this slushi maker now for about a week and have been able to wow my neighbors. This maker is a must have for those who host parties. There are a couple of primary reasons why we are enjoying this so far. Those reasons are versatility and clean up. The sheer amount of different recipes that this slushi maker can accommodate is astounding. When I had initially opened up this box I had though that I was stuck making one flavored fruit slushi, that is not the case. The maker comes with a recipe booklet that has really opened my eyes. Think, milkshakes, think daiquiri, think energy drinks. My mind has been blows by the versatility of this product. When using the maker its a synch too. There are not 100 steps to follow before making a drink, its very straight forward. The second area that made me a fan of this slushi maker was the easiness to clean... There are only a couple parts that needs to be washed, at a glance I thought there would be at least a dozen but that's simply not the case. The noise level is also pretty quiet too, my mind had immediately thought that this was going to act as a blender but that is not the case, its a different animal. All in all, if you are one who likes to entertain, host parties or has any special events coming in the near future then I would highly recommend this professional frozen drink maker as it can please nearly anyone in the crowd, is easy to operate and clean!

The Ninja Slushi 5-in-1 Frozen Drink Maker is awesome for making smooth, restaurant-style frozen drinks at home. It’s easy to use, works fast, and gives consistently great texture every time. A fun, versatile machine that’s perfect for slushies, smoothies, and frozen treats. My family enjoys it.

I recently purchased the Ninja Slushy Maker at Best Buy, and it has completely transformed my summer drinks. It’s incredibly easy to use, crushes ice perfectly, and makes smooth, refreshing slushies in minutes. Cleanup is simple, and it feels durable. Worth every penny!

ecently purchased the Ninja smoothie maker from Best Buy, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s powerful, easy to use, and blends smoothies incredibly smooth with no chunks of ice or fruit left behind. Cleanup is quick, which is a big win when you’re using it daily. What really sold me is how consistent it is—whether I’m making protein shakes, fruit smoothies, or frozen drinks, it handles everything without struggling. It feels well-built and sturdy, not flimsy like some Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reliable smoothie blender that actually does what it promises

I've had so much fun with this new machine! I brought it to work for "Spread Joy" day at the end of a really rough week at work right after I got it, and everyone was asking where I got it, how they could get their hands on one, and how jealous they were that I have one. That day was the first time I used it, and since we were at work, we stuck to a variety of different fruit juices I picked up at the grocery store, and the preset for frozen juice worked perfectly! We used different types of juices in a variety of thicknesses (orange mango, lemonade, fruit punch, etc), and every one worked up to a tasty slush in less than half an hour. I also tried it with pre-mixed iced coffee - I did have issues with this one. By my calculations, it wasn't too much liquid, the sugar level was fine...but I tried 5 different times to run it through different presets, and every single time the machine stalled and shut down. Best I can tell, after feeling the sides of the machine as well as reading the manual, it was overheating during the process, and I could not for the life of me figure out why. It got cold and a little bit slushy, but remained mostly liquid. I'm going to try again with plain cold brew and creamer, maybe it was the pre-mixed bottled coffee that was the problem, I'm not sure. Clean up is a breeze - you just run plain water through the machine with the rinse cycle, and then throw the removable pieces in the dishwasher! It really is as simple as that! My next slushies to make will be boozy - I can't wait!

Got this to save me trips to the 7-11 for slushies for the kids and it does not disappoint! Out the box it was setup and ready to be used in less than 5 minutes. All the parts are easy to clean and it disassembles very easily for cleaning purposes. We started off with strawberry lemonade slushies and just poured the strawberry lemonade we got from Sam's club and just about 1 hours later we had slushies. After that I followed the instructions in the included booklet to make a frozen strawberry margarita and used the spoked slush setting and just about an hour late had perfect frozen margaritas. I had my wife try it and it tasted just like the ones we get at Chili's!!! Haven't gotten to make a Pina Colada or Rum Runner yet but I can only imagine how good those will also be. Pros - Makes awesome slushies or adult spikes frozen drinks - The milkshake recipe tasted exactly like a Wendy's Frosty - Disassembles quickly and is easy to clean Cons - Larger than you might be expecting so know it will take up some counter space but it isn't gigantic - Can take up to an hour or longer to be ready based on how much liquid you put in Overall this thing is awesome and my kids have been thrilled with everything we have made so far. It cleans up easily and has minimal assembly and was ready to use 5 minutes out of the box. If you enjoy at home frosty's also this will make them exactly the way they are at Wendy's if you follow the directions on the website.

The Ninja Slusher Maker delivers exactly what it promises: icy slush drinks with almost zero guesswork. It chills very quickly, blends evenly, and doesn’t leave big ice chunks behind. The texture comes out smooth and consistent, kind of like what you’d get from a convenience store slush machine. It’s also surprisingly quiet and easy to rinse out — no complicated parts or sticky mess.

This was a gift for my son for his birthday. He loves it the quality and weight of this machine are great. He's made slushies and they have turned out good. No complaints so far. The only issue we came across was the warranty it's only for a year with Ninja which is shocking considering the parts. Ninja usually offers 5 to 10 year warranty on their products. I have several products insured with Ninja. So if there is a flaw this would be it. Overall great product!!

Ok, I’ve always wanted a slushy machine so this is a dream come true. For the adults I made one part of a Miami Vice and then the next day for the kids I made koolaid slushies. Then we tried out some recipes for basically a vanilla frappe and everything came out so well! Obviously I read all the tips about the amount of sugar necessary and the limits on alcohol content if you’re going that direction but the machine is good about letting you know if something’s off. I want to try a wine slushy next. Overall time to freeze seems reasonable and being able to leave it running for a while meant I could start it up in the morning and it was good through the evening. Cleanup is fairly easy as most pieces come apart and there’s only a couple finicky spots I made sure to hit to hopefully keep it working for a long time. I think really the only limitation is the size. It’s great for your kids to have one on the weekend, have a couple friends over, but I imagine it’d just be a tease if you had a large party. I’m considering getting a second so I can make both parts of a Miami Vice at once and that’ll give me about ten people worth of a mix.

Setup was pretty simple. Just a few items to connect before it was connected. We tried the slushy feature first. Pretty simple. Poor your soda of choice in the top till you reach the minimum or maximum fill line. Then turn it in to slush mode. Then walk away. About 20 min or so later it beeps which means it is done. Then put a cup under and tilt the handle toward you. This is where we had trouble. The slushy would get stuck and we stuck a for inside to push it back and then it worked again. Then slushy was good but struggled with a normal straw. They should have included thicker straws. Cleaning was easy. Just fill with warm water and run the rinse cycle. Then remove and wash the components. I tried the frozen coffee and lemonade smoothy. Also attempted to make a chocolate shake. All worked. I just wish they had better recipe cards for ease of use in the family. Overall I like the machine but found the slushy getting stuck removing from the experience. Also the lack of thick straws had me using a spoon which is not the experience I was hoping for. Finally there was no clear recipe’s for non alcoholic Pina Colada’s which would have been nice to try. There was one but I could not find the brand of mix the suggested. Also I wanted to make some energy slushy’s but they need minimum 4g of sugar and most I drink are sugar free.

Very good quality item very easy to take apart and clean slushy container to small very easy to operate

Super easy and fun! Kids and adults alike love it. The texture is great, and it's fairly fast. Have really only used it with juices, lemonades, and sodas or juices with seltzer. It also looks pretty good on the counter.

This Slushie machine is my favorite purchase by far. I love slushies! So this machine is a bonus addition to my household because it also does alcohol easily at the click of a button. No adding anything. Just pour and click your option. Mixes quite fast too. Plenty of options to do lots of different kinds and flavor of slushies. My only complaint is that is was BIGGER FOR MORE SLUSHIES!!!!! Fantastic machine. Highly reccomend 100x over again!

Easy to operate, works like a charm. This was the talk of my family get together. We made daiquiris & other drinks that me the family really enjoyed. I'd recommend you get this if you enjoy a good party.

This is amazing! I love the Ninja slushi. It's very easy to use, with ample directions and tips provided. It's super easy to clean and everything comes apart easily. Makes delicious drinks and has some yummy recipes provided!

Works great! We love it. We have made soda slushies, spiked slushies and milk shakes with it, All were as good or better then anything you buy from a vender. Its easy to use and clean up is not bad at all.

The Ninja Slushi is an absolute game-changer when it comes to making frozen drinks at home. From the moment you set it up, you can tell it’s built with quality and convenience in mind. The machine is easy to use, and within minutes, you have a perfectly smooth, ice-cold slushie that rivals anything you’d get from a store. One of the best things about the Ninja Slushi is its consistency—no chunky ice bits or watery mess, just a perfect blend every time. It works great with juices, sodas, and even frozen cocktails, making it a versatile addition to any kitchen. Cleaning is also a breeze, which is a huge plus. For the price, it’s 100% worth the investment. Whether you're making slushies for the kids, refreshing summer drinks, or party beverages, the Ninja Slushi delivers an excellent experience every time. Highly recommended!

The Ninja SLUSHi is an absolute gem in my kitchen and is now part of my HOME. It’s not just a gadget; it's a guaranteed smile-maker for both adults and kids. The TikTok hype? It's true. I’ve made frozen cocktails, coffees (frappes), sodas, and juices, and the best part is how easy it is to clean. Since it’s October and I live on the East Coast, I’ve been making Coconut Lime Daiquiris and enjoying them around the fire. These drinks taste amazing, not just because of the recipe but because this machine makes pro-skilled slushies. Ninja highlights its five key features: an 88oz vessel, 5 functions, RapidChill technology, and WhisperChill Compressor. The 88oz vessel is ideal for serving up drinks for four. Remember, you can only make up to 64oz at a time due to the turning process and foaming mixtures like coffee. The five functions—Slush, Spiked Slush (my fave), Frappe (a close second), Milkshake, and Frozen Juice—are super versatile. The auto temp recommendations based on the function are usually reliable, though you might want to adjust depending on your liquid and preference. RapidChill technology freezes liquids quickly, like 16oz of soda in about 15 minutes. The WhisperChill Compressor is wonderfully quiet and can run for up to 12 hours. Cleaning is straightforward: pop out the vessel, auger, and trays, wash them, and wipe down the steel cylinder. Ninja says the parts are dishwasher-safe, but I prefer hand-washing. Stick to the guideline of only pouring liquids into the maker. It detects when there’s no sugar or too much alcohol, so diet or sugar-free options won't work. Follow the manual for sugar doses. Speaking of the manual, keep it handy. It offers recipes and guides on the best liquids to use. The Ninja SLUSHi is a game-changer in my kitchen, living up to all the hype and bringing endless joy with every use. Cheers to many more slushy creations!
