was very excited to use it! had it sitting upright for a solid 48+ hours - so plenty of time for refrigerant. i cleaned all the items that needed to be taken out & cleaned per the instructions. Put about 30oz of Slushy Mix / Blue Raspberry Jolly Rancher. Proceeded to follow instructions, hit slushy and set the thickness of slushy. Would work for about 4-5 minutes and then stop. With an error symbol & 4 bars. So it’s claiming there is either not enough mix in the tank or too much alcohol … we never added alcohol.

We have used the machine a total of 4 times we made slushies with Coke and lemonade.They both turned out well a little fine tuning for the lemonade , but they worked perfectly fine. we want try cranberry juice. The juice is not sugar-free but freezing.Large chunks of ice would freeze around the cylinder , and it began to make a knocking sound during the churning process. We drained the juice.Let the machine defrost and start it again.We tried this 3 times each time.We got the same issue.The Juice kept freezing.We will try a few other products to make sure it's not a one-off or an issue with the particular juice that we purchased but the cranberry juice that we purchased was Ocean Spray cranberry splash. It has 12% sugar, which should be plenty enough sugar for it to. We used the juice setting and got the same result and tried the slush setting and got the same result.. I'm a little concerned.

I absolutely love my Iceman slushy machine! It’s super easy to use and makes perfectly smooth drinks every time. I’ve already made strawberry lemonade slushies and even turned them into fun adult versions later, and the texture comes out just right not too icy, not too watery. What I really like is how simple it is to customize drinks with whatever I have at home. It’s definitely upgraded my kitchen experience and made it feel like I have my own little café at home. Cleanup is easy too, which is a big plus. Highly recommend if you love frozen drinks or want to get creative with your beverages! ?✨

So far I like it I had time to start mixing got it as a gift . So I’m going give it 4 starts due to I haven’t test the mixing out yet . But far as design and stability, cleaning, instructions. It’s all straight forward no hard guessing what to do next ..

Right or if the box it looks very fancy and well put together. It's quiet as I'm in cleaning mode now, my only issue is there's no instructions on how long to set it on clean mode or how long it's going to take to clean, only that it will beep when it's complete. I will test it out tomorrow I'm slushy mode.

Died after 3 months. Nearly 3 months later still waiting on response from Customer Support. Will never buy a Chefman product again.

The only thing it needs is a lock for when there's liquid in the machine, so a kid doesn't grab the unlock handle. But thankfully we have it far enough on the kitchen island that they can't reach it.

I absolutely love this machine. I have 4 kids and they have enjoyed making slushies, milkshakes and frappes. It is very easy to operate, clean and take apart/put back together.

I've gotten on good drink out of the Slush Machine. But my other 2 tries could have been much better. A work in progress of learning the best tricks!

I chose it based on ratings and reviews. The initial cleaning was super easy. My only concern would be finding parts if by chance any of the parts break, since all the parts are plastic. I didn’t see parts and accessories on your website.
