Customer Ratings & Reviews

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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 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!

I really do not do reviews, but this was a must. OMG when I say I love this machine, and it is a must have. I really thought I was going to be able to enjoy it by myself, but nope my kids use it more than me. Kool-Aid is there go to slush as of now. They have made pretty much everything kids can make with this thing. I have saved money by not having to go Starbucks in the mornings. If you can get your hands on one, I suggest you do. The machine is not loud at all and easy to clean. If you can wait an hour for the first batch of product, then this if for you. The only thing I wished is that it made more, but once refilled it doesn't take long to freeze.

These are hard to find in stock, but I think that’s because they are awesome machines! Add your liquids in and press the button, and in 20 to 30 minutes you have a delicious beverage ready to pour and enjoy. Cleanup is easy, too. The only downside is that the machine needs sugary liquids to work its magic, so you have to experiment and be creative when using diet or low sugar recipes.

Fantastic, I love that I do not have to use ice to make slushies. The best part is dumping my latte in it and making a frappe out of it. Absolutely delicious. I am on Keto, I can't use sugar, but sugar is required to make the ice/slush. I can tell you it works perfectly with liquid allulose. So glad I got one of these during the Black Friday deals before they sold out.

First was the Creami, and now its the Slushi from Ninja! Why drive to your local gas station or bar for a frozen drink when you can have it at the comfort of your home? Ease of use, cleaning, and maintenance of the Slushi unit is pretty straight forward. I enjoy making slushies, milkshakes, and frozen alcoholic beverages with the Ninja Slushi! Get yours now, thats if you can get a hand on one!

I bought the Ninja Slushi a week ago, and I’ve already used it four times—it’s absolutely fantastic! From making spiked drinks to whipping up frosty treats, this machine does it all. The best part is that no ice is needed, and it delivers fast results every time. It’s super easy to clean, which is a big plus, and the quick turnaround makes it convenient for any occasion. If you’re looking for a versatile, efficient slushie maker, this is definitely worth it! Highly recommend!

It’s awesome comes perfectly as described and very easy to clean. I was a little unsure how I would like the product, the idea seems great but you can never be to sure. Well this one is amazing I am so happy with my purchase it is used nearly every day and each drink amazes me each time. I really like the cleaning process it comes apart very easily and is so simple to clean.

I have been wanting a Ninja Slushi since they first came out, and my year-long wait is finally over! I can honestly say I couldn’t be happier and I regret waiting so long to purchase one. All of my childhood dreams have finally come true. It’s like having a frozen coke machine right inside my kitchen. Oh and don’t even get me started on the spiked drinks. You can literally dump hard seltzers in there to elevate pool day - which is amazing in the Florida heat. My friends think I’m so fancy now lol. Highly recommend!

Currently have 2 machines, and overall, i think it works well. The booklet they provide covers instructions properly to get you up and running and also provides a decent amount of starter reciepes so that you can get a feel of whether you would want to keep it. So about the one thing...well, it's the design of the plastic craft that the drink is mixing in. The way its design leaves a corner edge that allows drink mix to get in between. Unless you a waterpik, it's often difficult to clean, and if you're not careful, you will begin to see mold develop. Also, the plastic craft when using certain juices such as mango nector will stain the plastic, leaving behind a yellowish tint that you can't get out. The machine gets high praise from me otherwise, but due to the design flaw that affects the cleaning, i did have to lower it down by 2 stars on quality and lower it by 1 star overall.

It works ok. We tried to do frozen soda and it worked well. We tried margaritas, just using the store mix, and it worked, but not quite as well as we'd hope. We had to run it a few times to get the drinks to actually get the slushi consistency. Overall, and ok product. If you want to try diet/sugar free options, I dont think they work. We tried but it just made chunks of frozen ice. It was fast/adequate for other options we tried.
