Ninja SLUSHi Delivers Smooth Frozen Drinks Straight From Your Counter, Pays for Itself Over a Single Summer

Summer heat hits us like a ton of bricks, and before you know it, everyone is looking for something cold to drink. The Ninja SLUSHi, priced at $259 (was $350), fulfills that call by transforming liquids into the perfect frozen delight in the comfort of your own home without the mess.

“>The SLUSHi has it down to a science, using a simple machine to transform any liquid into a delicious frozen delight. You know exactly what you’re doing from the beginning. You simply pour your desired liquid into the huge container, select one of the five preset programs, and then relax for a few minutes while it works. The time will vary depending on how much you add and how chilly the mixture is to begin with, ranging from 15 to 60 minutes.

Their RapidChill Technology uses a sophisticated two-part system to simplify the freezing process. An auger spins around a cooling cylinder, providing a smooth even texture from start to finish and keeping the temperature just perfect without the need for additional aid or ice. The nicest aspect is that it has lots of space for large gatherings. It has a big 88-ounce container that can hold up to 64 ounces of liquid at once, which equals around 7 full meals. Once completed, the quiet compressor maintains everything smooth and steady for up to 12 hours.

The real beauty of this product is how easy it is to customize your treats. It has programs for making plain or spiked slush, frappés, milkshakes, and frozen liquids, as well as independent settings that allow you to adjust the thickness and temperature as you see fit. You may make a variety of dishes with just one ingredient, though you may need additional sugar or a sugar substitute to achieve the perfect ice slush. Don’t even get me started on the possibilities: transform your wine into a frosé, your coffee into a frappé, your soda into a classic slush, and so on. Topping off the liquid in the middle of the cycle keeps the flow going without having to restart everything.

The SLUSHi is really easy to clean; the detachable parts can be rinsed under the tap or thrown straight into the dishwasher, and there’s even a built-in rinse cycle that allows you to switch new flavors quickly. It’s also relatively tiny, being 16 inches tall and 16 inches deep with a modest footprint, so it’ll fit on most kitchen counters without taking up too much space. It weighs only 24 pounds and is easy to move around the kitchen when you need storage space.
