NinjaSLUSHi with RapidChill Technology, 88 oz. Frozen Drink & Slushie Machine, 5 Preset Programs, Margaritas, Frappés, and More, Premium Accents, Black, FS301

This thing simply works! Dump fruit juice or other beverage in and 30 minutes to an hour later you are dispensing perfect slush. Margaritas are restaurant-perfect. Be aware that your base juice has to have enough sugar - natural or otherwise - in it to support slushing without freezing. The machine lets you know if more sugar is needed. Most fruit juices work as is. Diet drinks or lemonade sweetened with stevia, for instance, will not work. Tons of recipes available online for this machine so you can find alternatives to suit almost any diet. Our grandkids now expect slushies every time they come over so this machine gets daily use. Clean-up is easy. Well worth the money.

This is a need and not a want. If you have been debating on getting one or have seen any reviews with smiles across social media, just go ahead. We've had our machine since mid-February and it's being used daily, even if it's cold out.So far I've made both sugar infused, sugar-free and adult drinks without issue. My diabetic husband can finally have that coke slush or milkshake without sugar.The possibilities are endless with this machine. From coke slushies to margaritas to milkshakes to frappé to frozen electrolyte drinks. It's for the entire family from young to old.For sugar-free use allulose. Works perfect. For those lactose intolerant, use whatever milk substitute you want.Great machine for everyday use or in the summer months around the pool or even parties.Before you buy up alot of ingredients to use it, you probably have what you need already in your kitchen. Milk, cocoa powder, coffee and creamer, sugar or another sugar substitute, vanilla extract, fruit juices, colas, etc. You don't have to buy up every product you see online just to get started (I first thought we did, but you really don't need much).It's not a big as you think either. Ours is in the corner by the Ninja XL which is next to the KitchenAid mixer. It's tall and skinny but no too tall. The footprint is thinner than my mixer amg just a tad bit taller and deeper. It's an appliance they can stay out on the counter.I do recommend the 88 ounce vs the smaller version for more functions and capacity. If you think about it, 88 ounces isn't much. That's a little over 4-20 ounce colas.It is very very quick to use, doesn't take hours but less than 30 minutes for most everything we've thrown at it.Margarita premix you do have to dilute it a tad for the alcohol volume, use either water or sprite. We've used both and either one is fine. It's not diluted and still a strong drink.Hope this helps you decide on getting one, we are ABSOLUTELY loving this new addition to the kitchen. It has became just as important as an airfryer or can opener in our kitchen. I thought it was just a want and my husband wasn't sure, it made us a believer.We're going to save alot of money making our own milkshakes, margaritas, hydration drinks and coke slushies. A $2 2-liter cola vs a $3 large slushie and you do the math or a $15 frozen margarita at a restaurant vs 8 at home for less than $20. $7 milkshake for less than $1.25 at home.•For those wondering about staining, we've yet to see the first stain.•Super easy to clean, no mess and you can clean every crevice.•Easy to operate, a child can operate it.•Clean lines so it's pretty on your countertop.•Super easy recipes. Most are dump and go.Up to a 12 hour run time on your frozen drinks, so make your mix and let it run.

Healthy treats!!! Omgl !** This review now has the Ninja Slushie AND the Ninja Swirl Reviews mentioned…see below:Update week two: There is a love affair going on with Ninja in my kitchen. Took the leap and bought both the slushie maker and the swirl maker. I have been using the same batch (all solids pre puréed )..I put the batch into the slushie maker (pick the frozen drink button) enjoy an amazing slushie in 30 minutes…then, with the left over slushie batch, I pour into my Ninja Swirl Pint Cup, freeze for 24 hours and then blend it with the Ninja Swirl Machine. I blended it once, added a touch of coconut milk, then hit the “re-stir” button. I was amazed how creamy and delicious it was.The batch I used was: Coconut milk, one small container of fresh organic strawberries (puréed ), berry stevia drops and two table spoons of coconut nectar . I will include the slushie pic and then the 24 hours later, the ice cream (I chose lite ice cream button) .Also, I am using and trying different non-low glycemic index sweeteners, ALLUOSE is very powerful and you must watch the portions or be prepared to be hanging out by the bathroom. Coconut nectar works just fine. Coconut is on Dr. Gundry’s Yes List , so that is good. Another helpful tip, if you have left overs from your mixed icecream, assuming you get the Swirl, you just flatten the top to a level surface and re mix later after 24 hours .First batch: Coconut milk, ALLUOSE and rose donut stevia flavoring , it was delicious.I get no benefit of any kind from my reviews - I too, depend on HONEST reviews , so I’m just doing my part of the circle:Second batch : Dr. G’ Heart Defense & MCT , water and ALLUOSE . Oh what fun!It took 30 minutes for both to set up . Haven’t even had the machine for twelve hours. Already my best friend !!

Straight out the box good. First this we made was vanilla milkshake. My on blend. It was amazing how well it worked. Easy to use with just one button that said milkshake. So smooth and creamy. It took 30 min. As expected. It was super easy to cleanup and get ready for the next use. I love it already. The was a Mother’s Day gift and it paid dividends. 😊 It is so quiet I had to stand in front of it to make sure it was still on. I also like how it’s just the correct height to slide under our upper cabinets. It is not light which tells me that it is made well. Can’t wait to make some more flavors. You should get you one.

I was initially so disappointed when I read that you couldn't make sugar free drinks with these type machines. Doing further research, I found that you can if using the correct ingredients, so I gave it a shot. So extremely glad that I did. The manual does give good directions/recipes on how to mix ingredients. I've been making diet root beer or Dr Pepper slushies with allulose. It has been a game changer for me to be able to eat these all afternoon instead of reaching for food. I've also made frappes with protein drinks. Add a bit of allulose and they turn out wonderfully. Cleanup is super simple with the clean mode. It is not nearly as loud as I expected. I also have the Creami and this isn't even a quarter of the noise level as that. Go buy this!
