This maching is great. i see reviews saying it wouldn't slush up liquids and it leak. you have to follow directions. theres a sticker on it that says...machine must be upright for at lease 2 hours before use. If you know anything about things with compressors is you can't have them laying on there side then stand them up and start to use them. the refregerant has to settle first or the maching wont work.

It is a nice machine and a lotta fun. It was a hit all weekend and I probably sold a few more! It is fun to try different premixed drinks and I have not even started to mix my own. It is a fun addition to a margaritsville as this does not need ice! Will likely buy for gifts in the future.

Got a black one for the hubby for Christmas, have used it several times and although it has beeped and given an error code a couple times after it had been started, we simple hit the power button off and on and started it back up and then it ran for hours without any issues. I think you have to be very careful to keep it upright and not tip it too much when moving it around and let it sit level for a while before using it. We like it so much I had to buy a pink one too, so we can have two different options going at once. You do usually have to add water to pre-mixed drinks (we usually just do half mix/ half water (think of the water as the ice cubes you would be adding if mixing in a blender instead) takes about 20-30 minutes and the perfect slushies start pouring! Drinks do need to have sugar content in order to work, so sugar free people probably won’t like it! Easy to adjust the thickness with the push of a button. Easy to clean up when done!

I really like this machine! It can turn almost anything into a slushy! You have to make sure that the items that you use have enough sugar because it will turn to hard ice and freeze too soon if you’re not careful. Also I’ve learned that you have to lower the thickness on the preset to level 2 and build up to the thickness you want, never start out on level 4 or higher. I would definitely recommend this product for someone who loves to host or have a big family because it’s hard to make a one person amount, you usually have to put at least 20 oz. in the machine in order for it to work correctly, even though it says 16 oz. is the lowest amount. In my experience it will not work correctly at 16 oz. Also if you want to slush like a sports drink or any sodas you need to use the juice preset and lower it to level 2 and work your way up as previously mentioned. I’m still learning how to use this machine and I’m very excited and happy with my purchase!

I purchased this brand based on reviews and price. I am glad I did. We use it to make boozy cocktails when we have company. Cocktails are frozen in about 30 mins. So far we have made margaritas, pina coladas , banana daquiris and wine slushies. We store it on our counter next to the refrigerator so it is ready to go at all times. I Noticed it works better in air conditioned house than outside which makes sense. My favorite part is the clean up. So easy and fast ! If something is hard to clean and time consuming I am unlikely to use it.

Great sale price. Good for slushies though takes almost 30 minutes to freeze, but not good for milkshakes. Milkshakes come out too airy and icy. Not recommended if you're primary focus is milkshakes.

Works just ok. You have to know your ingredients and have the correct amounts or else it may not work. Sugar free or zero sodas do not work. Even on the lowest setting it turns to ice and will ruin your machine. I’ve tried it and learned the hard way. Lowest setting seams to be the only setting the kids use because anything higher and it’s too thick and doesn’t dispense. It’s not great but ok.

Slushie gets stuck on the spout when pouring on a cup need to poke the slushie from the spout opening

This machine happened to be on sale, so I took a chance on it...despite being a huge Ninja supporter! I used this machine twice! On the 3rd time, lights started blinking. I tried restarting it, same thing. Looked in the manual and found that the lights were indicating that the motor was no longer working! Maybe a lesson for straying away from the Ninja products? ha. Anyways, buy with caution! My children are very disappointed!

We purchased this a little over two weeks ago, and during our very first use we noticed the machine was extremely noisy—especially compared to the similar Iceman model our son has from Chefman. We reached out immediately through their online portal, but we have not received a call or any response regarding our concern. The unit does function, but the refrigerant tank appears to have something loose inside that rattles during the refrigeration cycle. We’re disappointed in the lack of customer service and would appreciate assistance with resolving this issue. After reaching out twice via email we will try calling during their limited hours but if no resolution we will then reach out to SamsClub for possible resolution.
