Ninja - SLUSHi 5-in-1 Professional Frozen Drink Machine Summary: AWESOME FUN AND DELICIOUS. Use: We love to enjoy a variety of frozen treats. Particularly good ole fruit juice slushies, but also decadent home-made pina coladas and margaritas. We've recently decided to be a bit more judicious about our spend while dining out and one of the things that consistently racks up the $ are frozen adult beverages. So we decided we'd give the Ninja Slushi a spin. We have had it just over a week and have definitely put it through its paces. We've enjoyed pina coladas, margaritas, wine coolers, and some basic fruit juice beverages. This small appliance is definitely worth the fun. I definitely recommend it for anyone with children or adults that like iced drinks! One thing to note: though it seems silly to worry about sugar with a slushie machine, we did worry. We generally sweeten beverages with products like Stevia liquid drops. These don't have the sugar content that the mixer requires. We had to switch to monk fruit granulated sweetener to get the desired affect. If you're using alternative sweeteners, please be aware that you may need to switch things up. Pros: * Sleek Design. This makes the appliance an easy sell for leaving on the counter if you have the space (or don't have off-counter storage). It is also right sized and easy to move around for those that need to. * Well Built. The entire appliance is basically plastic. But the unit feels substantial, and when put together, feels well made. Only time will tell! * Easy to Use. Assembling the unit is a breeze and its intuitive. Getting the unit operational and making slushies can be a short exercise in patience. Be sure to read the stickers on the device for hints/instructions. Of particular import are the "what happens when X and Y lights are lit and the unit beeps" as these address the top two issues with making slushies: alcoholic content and sugar content. Lacking enough of either/or and you will end up with a block of ice and a jammed unit! * Instructions. Though seemingly sparse, the instructions are available on the unit if you haven't removed the stickers, or online. READ THEM. Doing so will save you time and heartache. * Thoughtful design. In addition to looking great, there are smaller things such as the plastic trim on the sides of the unit that help ensure the unit is kept far enough away from another device/wall so as to allow air movement. This likely helps prevent the unit from overheating. * Controls. The controls match the ease of use. On the whole the presets are going to work just fine for you. However, you are able to make finer tuned adjustments to the temperature of the freezing drum. Cons: * Plastic auger. I do wish the auger was metal. I can imagine reasons why it isn't, but it would have been nice. I feel like this is the primary moving part in contact with ice and likely the most to break. * Freezing drum placement. I realize this is not an easy solve. But it would have been super great if the drum could be removed with ease while attached to the container. This would ensure that if the seal were to break, or if improperly assembled, or something else that the liquid would remain entirely within an enclosed chamber. I had one instance of too low sugar content, and the mixture iced up pretty fast. The auger was working overtime and the chamber itself was rocking as if it was going to push right off the unit. Had the seal/clamp broken or been misaligned, it may very well have! Not likely to happen, but that came to mind when I saw the rocking.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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 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 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.

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!

Bought this item for a Christmas present, it is so easy to use and clean and makes excellent drink of choice

Easy to clean, easy to operate.Does exactly what it says makes delicious to drinks and desserts

Easy to use, quick to make, easy to clean overall outstanding product!!

If you're addicted to slushies, this thing is an easy buy. I turn everything into a slushie now. Also easy to clean, which surprised me. Just make sure to get all the pulp out of you do a lot of juices. The Simply brand juice is amazing in the thing. Mix some of their limeade and pineapple juice together. I think the thing I enjoy most about it though is that I no longer have to leave the house and hunt for one of these things because the machines are down at half the gas stations around me. Anyway, I'm gonna go turn my cereal into a slushie now.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner! Just about every drink is made with this machine. From frozen mimosa's and caramel fraps, to slushies and margarita's, you name it and my family will request it. Love the ease of use that the machine provides. The ergonomic cleanliness and that it is not big and bulky compared to others. Actually considering purchasing a secondary one to put in our basement. That's how much we love it!

My Dad Loves This Machine. Makes Perfect Drinks As Long As You Add The Correct Amount Of Fluids! Very Easy To Clean & Set Up.
