The machine is satisfactory, but it has two notable issues: a knocking noise and the auger detaching from the cooling cylinder. As a result, I have to pour the drink into a pitcher, fix the auger back onto the cooling cylinder, and pour the drink back into the machine.

This slushy machine is awesome. I wanted one really bad since I saw the ninja advertised but that one did not have very good reviews. This iceman slushy machine is everything I had hoped for. It is easy to set up, it works surprisingly fast and is super easy to clean. The touchscreen is visibly nice and buttons are easy to use. Comes with a manual that has full details and a mixer guide. We have used this machine with soda, juice and alcoholic mixes, it's a hit each time. Very happy to have this in my home and I can't to have a nice homemade slushy drink this summer in the backyard!

I haven't used all the features but his machine makes a great slushie. Prepare 30-40 minutes ahead and it will be ready and stay ready. Capable of serving plenty. I appreciate the self cleaning feature even though you still have to clean the top and you still have to wipe everything down. It definitely saves time and effort. The instructions guide you well as far as getting the proper thickness out of your snacks.

First off, the kids Love LOve LOVE! This machine. My youngest who's 2 calls the slusies “Ice cream” which is great. Best part is can add your own liquids and drinks. And not worry about the additives they use at the stores that sell these ready to drink. The options for drink consistency is endless. And great for parties. Might need to add a second machine . Adults and kids for parties. LOL.

So far I like it. Though I have to play with it more cause my triangle light comes on and I'm not doing anything wrong. I put in a pre made alcohol mixter you buy at local wine and spirit store . and pressed the button it called for in directions but ran shortly and then the warning light came on. very puzzling

This machine is great plug-and-play usage. But you do need to understand sugar content and alcohol content and how it affects ice and freezing. That's the only downside. Honestly, I kinda wish it was a little more thoughtless and easy to use as it concerns mixes.

The instructions could be a little clearer. When we first used ours and set it to slushy with 5 bars for thickness it wasn't thick enough so we raised the bars to 7 but it immediately said it was ready again. So we had to change the setting to cocktails and raise the bars and it finally got to the thickness we wanted.

Was considering another machine when the featuresof this caught my eye. First use we made mock Pina Coladas. The pre mixed cocktail on cocktail setting froze as advertised. It was a big hit! Bought another for another family member. Thanks Chefman.

Love how it chills any liquid into a slush delight. Unit has a clean cycle, but instructions for an extra rinse might be a good idea. Clean cycle calls for soapy water then drain. A rinse takes away any leftover suds. But works great so I bought two; one for home and one for the office!

Great christmas gift. Easy to use and kids have a blast. Works well with most drinks some alcoholic drinks have a hard time getting cold enough even for remixed. But those usually have higher alcohol content. Would recommend for for anyone with kids or who like drinks to be different than normal
