Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picking the box up off the porch I realized this is stout! Has some heft to it. Got the Ninja Slushi unboxed and laid out of the counter. Scanned through the booklets that came with it and it was easy to assemble, like 3 pieces and then you’re ready to go. Read the recipe book and decided to make some margaritas! The instructions were perfect although I might have added a bit more alcohol than what was specified. There are 5 preset buttons to push and select which recipes you want. I selected Spiked Slushi button and it was off. There were several lights/levels lit up on the ninja Slushi after pressing the button. This tells you how frozen it’s going to be based on what you selected. I actually turned it down two clicks and I thought the end result was awesome. I don’t recall exactly how long it took but I made the recipe for 8 servings. I want to say it was like 30-40 minutes to get it to the consistency I wanted. We love the self serve handle on the unit. Super convenient for guests to get their own drink easily. We love the simplicity that comes with owning this. Just pouring the contents into the top reservoir and hitting the desired button. We also love that there are 3 pieces to disassemble and place in the dishwasher. We have not ran the rinse cycle on the Ninja Slushi just yet but have watched a few videos on it and it’s super simple. Also it’s pretty quiet for what it is. We sat in the kitchen while it was working and it didn’t bother us at all. We love it!

My family has a slushy addition, it doesn't matter if they are from a gas station, restaurant, or theme park, if there is a slushy available, my teens will order it. For this reason, and in hopes of making my gas station trips faster, I was super excited to try out the new Ninja SLUSHi pro frozen drink maker.  In the box is the slushy maker, quick start guide, recipe book, and product information. Setup is very easy, insert the drip tray, condensation catch tray, place the mixing paddle over the evaporator, lock the reservoir into place and you're ready to go. I know it sounds like a lot, but seriously takes about 30 seconds. I was impressed with the simplicity of setup, and how sturdy everything feels. Due to the design, it's nearly impossible to install anything incorrectly, which means I'm comfortable letting my 13 year old have free reign to use the slushy maker without supervision.  To use the slushy maker, you select one of the five presets (slush, spiked slush, frappe, milkshake, frozen juice), pour in liquid via the top port of the reservoir, and wait. You will need to use a recipe with at least 2 cups of liquid and the maximum that the reservoir can hold is 8 cups of liquid per batch. The time until ready/frozen depends on which preset is selected and the amount of liquid used. For example, to make a small batch (2 - 3 servings) of a slushy takes 15 minutes, whereas spiked slushies and milkshakes can take 30 - 40 minutes for the same sized serving.  Note that you can adjust the temperature from what the preset recommends, however I've found that typically the preset gives the optimal consistency.  Once the slush is made, pull the dispense lever and the slushy will dispense. Note that for small batches, or if you turn the settings colder, the dispense time may take slightly longer, otherwise I find that the slushy dispenses at a good speed to not make a huge mess.  I did notice that the machine would occasionally has some residual that would drip after first releasing the lever, however it wasn't much and was contained by the drip tray.   As far as holding time, there doesn't seem to be any time limit on how long the machine will keep the slushy cold, as sometimes my teens will make a large batch and leave it on for 6+ hours with no issues. You can also add in more liquid later during the same cycle, assuming you have already poured some drinks, if you need more refills.  Once done, the rinse cycle is fantastic.  I use a large open top pitcher, pour in at least 2 cups of warm water, hit rinse, and then dispense the water back into the pitcher.  This will get the evaporator clean and remove any frozen build up (see photo).  Note that you'll want to use a larger container, as the water will drain rapidly when using the rinse cycle. After rinsing, the reservoir, paddle, condensation tray, and drip tray can all be removed for quick cleanup or thrown in the dishwasher.  A few things to know about the SLUSHi:  1. The recipes are great starting points, but if you can dream it up, and it contains at least 8g of sugar per 8 oz of fluid, you can make it.  If it doesn't, there is a low sugar alert, and you can add in juice, syrup, honey, sugar, etc.  To add in anything not already liquid, such as sugar, you'll want to mix with a liquid and pour the mixture into the reservoir after fully mixed. Note that this 8g is directional, I got away with a little less in some instances, but all varies by what ingredients you use. 2. There is a super easy soda recipe that everyone seems to love. Pick your favorite soda, and dump into the machine, soda slushies within minutes.  Also great for a twist on root beer floats, we make the vanilla milkshake recipe, followed up by a root beer slushy and combine the two.  3. For spiked slushies you need to be between 2.8% - 16% alcohol, so this is basically 1 cup of straight alcohol per 3 cups of liquid, wines just need to be less than 16% ABV. Again your mileage may vary slightly pending what you use.   4. There is a low sugar, high sugar, and high alcohol audible alert that will beep if something is needed to make your slushy come out at the correct consistency.  Overall I've made a popular pineapple copycat recipe from a theme park, gas station flavors such as soda and cherry, frozen sangria, wine slush, milkshakes, and breakfast smoothies, to include adding in protein powder to the mix.  Absolutely everything we have tried has come out at a fantastic consistency, with full flavor as there is no ice or water to dilute the drink, and is quick and easy to make and enjoy.  I have not found a single downside to this device, it's not very loud, the footprint it as small as it can be to hold that much liquid, and setup and clean up are both very easy. 

I was looking for something that could add a fun, memorable touch to open houses, client appreciation events, or even just backyard hangouts with family. The Nina Slush I Machine definitely delivers on that. What I Like: • Quick and Efficient: It turns drinks into slush in like 25 minutes, which is perfect when I’m short on prep time before an event. • Professional Look and Build: It doesn’t feel cheap at all—more like something you’d see at a fancy party setup, which fits the image I want to project at real estate events. • Versatile: Whether it’s kid-friendly slushies or spiked drinks for adult events, it handles both like a champ. • Quiet Operation: Huge plus for open houses—no annoying humming in the background while trying to talk with potential buyers.

WOW Ninja has done what every kid wished for a home Slushi machine. Well some adults to. This is now my favorite kitchen appliance that i own. This slushi makes every drink more enjoyable to drink you will be making everthing into a slushi. The Ninja has 5 setting so you can have different types of drinks. Slushi mode is for your soft drinks, Kool Aid anything without alcohol in it. Now Spiked Slushi is for all your alcohol drinks whats cool about this mode is it will tell you if you have a high alcohol count in the drink. This will make it not turn to a slushi it will beep twice at you to let you know if you have to add some water to the mix. I like mine strong adding whater to it didn't take it down that bad. But anything over i think 16 proof will need to be adjusted. It will let you know if you have a high sugar and alert you for that to just with high alcohol and sugar dilute with 1/4 cup of water. Frappe is for your Coffee. Milkshake now this could be dangerous as you can always have onw when you want it in about 20 to 40 min. Frozen Juice OJ Apple Juice all that good stuff. Now all of this can take 20min to 1hr but i haven't had anything take longer than 35 min. Now i will tell you before you start pouring in your mix make sure you have the mixer in place i got to excited and forgot and had to empty it all out and start over. No big deal a little mess to clean up. This will make all you events better as everyone will want to mix something to see how it will taste. We had a slushi party and had a blast it ran all night we did have some beeps but mad the correct adjustments and kept going. The clean up on this is easy and not all bad. this will keep your drink mixed for 12hrs that cool. the one down fall is i wish you could have a side reservoir to keep your drink flowing and it just adds more as you go. Maybe next model Ninja. Overall this is a blast to have fits under the cabinet just fine not that wide.

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!

I honestly didn’t expect to love the Ninja SLUSHi 5-in-1 Professional Frozen Drink Maker this much, but it’s been such a fun addition to my kitchen. I’ve made everything from classic slushies to frozen mocktails, and they come out smooth and perfectly icy every time. It’s super easy to use — just pour, press, and wait. It does take a little patience while it freezes, but once it’s ready, it’s 100% worth it. Definitely one of my favorite “treat yourself” purchases.

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!

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

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 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!!

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.

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

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!
