I don’t think this was worth the price and it was short of my expectations.
Cons: - I am disappointed about the serving capacity. The capacity is exactly the same as my Ninja blender which is 64 oz. Depending on your desired serving sizes, you can only make the following; two slushies at 32 oz, four slushies at 16 oz., & eight slushies at 8 oz. I think the price would’ve been worth it if the capacity were doubled to 128 oz.
- The machine has temperature issues. The preset settings temperatures for frappes and slushies are not correct or consistent. I have to lower the temperature to make sure it freezes properly. For example, every time I select slushy it doesn’t freeze unless I lower the temperature way lower than the preset default temperature.
- Not a great machine for Frappuccinos. If you’re using milk in your Frappuccino recipe, then the machine will basically ruin the texture by making the drink frothy. I haven’t tried using a recipe with a powdered Frappuccino mixture yet so I can’t comment on it but it may work if you use it.
Pro’s: - Other than the temperature setting issues, it works. It’s a little loud but it keeps the temperature cold and mixture ready to pour.
- Design of function is simple and sleek.
- Easy to clean however if you use milk in the recipe it’s harder to get clean so wash it immediately.
In summary, I wish I did not buy this product because of the capacity of only 64 oz. If it were 128 oz capacity I think it would be worth it. I think just using my Ninja blender which has the same capacity of 64 oz would have sufficed for my needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Kev, Thank you so much for your honest and detailed review. We’re sorry to hear that the SLUSHi didn’t meet your expectations, especially in terms of serving capacity and temperature consistency. We understand how important it is to have a machine that fits your needs—especially when entertaining or making multiple servings. We’re excited to share that we now offer the SLUSHi Max, which features a larger capacity to better support bigger batches and gatherings. It might be a better fit for your needs, and we’d be happy to help you explore that option. Your feedback on the temperature presets and milk-based recipes is incredibly valuable. We’re actively working to improve consistency and texture control, and your experience helps guide those improvements. We’re glad to hear you found the design sleek and the cleaning process manageable. Thanks again for helping us improve.

I was very disappointed in how it comes out in small dropping chunks and not a continuous smoothie most of the time.

I bought this a few weeks ago. I had no idea it needed at least 16 oz or sugar substitute if using sugar reduced substances. Even if I wanted to return, Ninja doesn’t cover return costs or provide local return for this very heavy item.

This product will not work effectively if you have a large gathering at your function. It takes too long to make a batch of margaritas. I bought and tried it out before having company. I returned it the next day.
