The machine is great , it makes awesome slushies , however there is one major flaw with the product , and it's a clean/health issue , the lip on the bottom cannister get's clogged with gunk after a few uses , you can actually see it to start build up , and the space is about as small as a single piece of wax paper , so you can't get a brush in there to clean it out. The problem is if you have a very strong tasting slushie , and you make a somewhat "neutral" slushie , you will taste the flavor of the last slushie you made in the new one , i made a "grape" soda slushie , and after thoroughly cleaning the vessel and making a coffee frappe i could still taste the grape in the frappe. After about making 5-6 slushies and the last one being an orange soda , you can see the orange buildup under the lip , it's a serious design flaw that they need to remedy by making a revision on the vessel so that one won't be an issue , and people who have the slushie machine with the old vessel should get a discount on a new vessel. the solution is simple... make it solid so there isn't a space in between the lip and the wall...i for one don't even see why it even has a lip there , it makes no sense to start with. I don't see this vessel last more then a month before the gunk just gets too nasty to where you would even want to use the vessel, not to talk about if you use milk mixture and it get's into the crevice it's going to be a whole new issue.

Just get it, you will dig it! We liked it so much ended up ordering another. Added up what we spent at various coffee houses, gas stations,ect,for drinks we can now make at home when we what, how we want. And at a much better price point! No more 20-dollar margaritas for me! And the drinks taste fantastic by the way, the most important feature of this machine. Ease of use and quick cleanup is a big plus, pour and enjoy!

I have only used it 4 times with soda for the kids and they loved it. I tried it once with a pre-mixed margarita mix and I needed to add water as it indicated the alcohol content was too high. But it worked well. Easier to clean than I would have expected. Looking forward to trying other beverages.

We’ve only had this machine for a month but we had used it almost daily. We had game night a few days ago and it was a hit. Coke icey, mango daiquiri, and chocolate shakes are our favorites. Nice and smooth. Machine is quite and my husband has had no problems cleaning it and believe me we’re both clean freaks. I can’t review on longevity because we’ve only had it a month. No added ice is needed so no watering down drinks or ice chunks like our margaritaville machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made the best milk shake ever. Easy to use, it works very quite and it easy to clean. The drink is very soft it's not ice , i love it. It took me like 30 minutes to make a milkshake and I love that the minimum is exact 2 drinks.

I bought this about a month ago and have tried milkshakes, Pina Colada’s and coffee drinks…all have turned out amazing! I absolutely love this machine. If I had one negative thing to say, it’s that after pouring your drink the spout does drip a few times. But I guess that’s why there’s a drip tray. I would hands down purchase this!

First, I really like this machine. Smaller than a commercial one so it easily fits under your cabinets. Really good looking, freezes quickly. Be aware: it is smaller so the hopper doesn’t hold a lot; for constant use, like at a party, you need your reserve mix very cold to add as you go. Being smaller the compressor isn’t as powerful to freeze so if you like strong drinks ( heavier alcohol content) it might not reach slush consistency. You have to play with it for your sweet spot. Extremely easy to take apart and clean. Overall a very good buy, especially at this price.

After having the system 7 days and making 5 different slushies, my experience has been awesome. First, it is amazingly easy to clean. Definitely a surprise. Second, the recipes are simple and taste great. I haven't been too creative and mostly followed recipes provided with the system or available online. My favorite, ginger ale and orange juice. 1 part ginger ale with sugar, 1 part ginger ale with no sugar, and 2 parts orange juice. It's awesome!

This thing is amazing! It is a must have kitchen equipment. This is not just for sushi. Honestly your options are endless. It’s so easy to use….. pour your mix in, select what type of drink you want and press start. It’s that simple!!! The user guide is easy to understand and it comes with a great recipe book to get you started.Best of all the cleanup is just as easy. This is going to be a real hit this summer. I love it so much that I ordered a 2nd machine. We always host large BBQs and I will definitely need the 2nd machine. If you are thinking about buying but are still undecided… BUY IT! I promise it you wont be disappointed.

After 15 failed attempts to order this machine, I finally got my hands on it, and it's been worth the wait! We absolutely love it and use it daily to make all sorts of fun, refreshing slushies. It's easy to use, and the texture it creates is perfect—exactly what I was hoping for! However, I do have one issue with the vessel. It stains easily and no matter how hard I scrub, I can't get it clean. Worse, it gets slush or liquid stuck in the seams that won’t come out, which makes it look like it’s on the verge of molding. This is a bit concerning, but we make sure to clean the machine thoroughly after each use. Overall, despite the flaw with the vessel, we love this machine and it’s become a staple in our kitchen!
