Amazon has reduced the price of the Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drinks Maker from £299.99 to £199, offering a saving of £100 on the popular kitchen appliance. The machine is designed to create slushies, milkshakes, frappés, frozen cocktails, and chilled drinks at home without the need for ice or advance preparation.
Features and Preset Programmes
The Ninja SLUSHi includes five preset programmes: Slush, Frozen Cocktail, Frappé, Milkshake, and Frozen Juice. It uses Rapid Chill Technology, which according to Ninja can turn liquid into slush in as little as 30 minutes while keeping drinks frozen for up to 12 hours without dilution. The machine has a 2.5L vessel with a 1.9L maximum liquid fill capacity, capable of making more than seven servings per batch.
Other features include a WhisperChill compressor, temperature controls, an auger system, a condensation catch, a two-piece drip tray, and an inspiration guide containing 10 recipes. Ninja also provides a two-year guarantee upon registration.
Customer Reviews
The Ninja SLUSHi has received positive feedback from buyers. One reviewer wrote: "Cool little slushie machine, once you have had a quick look throughout the booklet you know all you need to know about using this machine. Yes, it's on the pricey side, but I reckon it is worth it." Another customer commented: "This machine is great! Not only will it make perfect slushies, you can make McDonalds style frozen milkshakes, frozen cocktails or just use it as a drinks chiller."
A satisfied buyer added: "The Ninja SLUSHi is an absolute blast! It’s super easy to use just pour in your liquid, select a mode and watch it turn into perfectly frozen drinks. No ice needed, so the flavours stay full and delicious every time."
Negative Feedback
Some users reported issues with freezing consistency. One reviewer noted: "It’s an excellent piece of machinery. The only issue I’m having at the moment is every time it seems to freeze solid no matter if I turn the temperature down to the lowest setting it still freezes around the reel." Another critical review stated: "Don’t forget you need the right amount of sugar. Fun for groups of people. But for single person or even couple. Becomes a gimmick very quick. But it works and is easy to clean and maintain."
