A slushie fan, I’m super excited to have this. I appreciate the troubleshooting tips because there is certainly a learning on curve to “will it slush”. If it’s too thick it doesn’t dispense very well and basically comes out in chunks. I highly recommend reading the booklet it comes with. Also, the plastic does stain depending on what you put into it. The very first thing I used was V8 Fruit Splash and it already stained the plastic. Though that may say more about the juice then the plastic.

The Chefman Slushy Machine is honestly a vibe for at-home fun. It’s super easy to use, doesn’t require ice, and turns drinks into smooth slushies in about 15–20 minutes. From sodas to margaritas and even wine slushies, it handles variety really well. I love that it has preset options and a good-size capacity—perfect for small gatherings, movie nights, or summer days. The texture comes out smooth (not chunky), and once you learn which drinks work best, it’s pretty consistent. That said, it works best with drinks that have sugar, and it’s definitely made for home use—not heavy, everyday commercial action. Cleaning isn’t hard, but you do need to follow the instructions to keep it running smoothly.

I just started using it today date of 12/27/25. I just turned the machine on for the first time. First I cleaned it really well before turning it on and then I put my mixer in it. It’s been on for about 10 minutes and it’s already starting to form the slushy look so hopefully it turns out great.

Great little machine & looks to be well engineered. First job, Coke slushie made without a hitch. Second job now making a fruit juice slushie. About 10 minutes in, it threw a two bars compressor error. Unit was stored upright from previous use, so freon coolant couldn't be the problem. Did a restart and everything working well so far.

I like the machine, but it doesn’t get the mixture cold enough to make shakes. I have read the entire book from the beginning to the end. I have cleaned the machine, followed the instructions on the troubleshooting page and still didn’t get the problem resolved.

I love it cleanups just a little rough and also pouring the liquid into the little container on top is hard. I make a mess every single time because if you pour a little too fast, it starts to overflow. For little things it’s not worth the mess unless you plan on having others over.

It is a fun product to make slushies and frozen coffee drinks, BUT it is really not big enough for a party AND it takes a lot longer than 20 minutes to freeze drinks - more like 40 minutes. We are a family of 6 at home and it is definitely only big enough for a scant cup each if we fill it to the max fill line, so all of the reviews that say great for a party, how many are you hosting? Our parties are usually bigger than 6 people. It is pretty easy to clean but it's difficult to store, which of the biggest complaint. it's tall and fairly heavy.

So easy to get up, add orange juice or chocolate milk or other concoctions to our slushie maker, get everyone up and ready for the day, then fill up with a yummy drink to start the day. Or at lunch. Meal planning and prep now includes starting with getting the slushie machine going

When I first use this slush machine, I wasn’t to sure about it at first. But to my surprise it came out how a slushy should come out, and the flavor wasn’t that bad either and to make any soda slush taste sweeter you just need to add some sugar in there to make it better. This took about a good 30 minutes to finish and the results were amazing. Overall love this slush machine?

I got it for a Christmas present. I love it .it does just what it was made for. The slushy are to die for. Smoothies are unbeatable. Would recommend it to anyone who loves a great frozen drink. The Ice man can’t be beat. The price was no objection,It all worth it
