My husband surprised me with the Slush machine and we have made numerous slushies and a chocolate milkshake with our machine. Everything is perfect and we absolutely love this machine to death!!!
I've used it twice. The sugar and liquid content has to be just right for it to work right. After I poured a cup of lemonade/tea from the machine, the liquid softened and liquified. I cut the machine off and then on again to refreeze it for a second helping. It holds a minimum of 16oz. and a maximum of 64oz. I made a coffee frappe and it did not freeze very well. I did not follow a recipe exactly so the recipe has to be just right for the product to freeze properly. I do love it, though, and look forward to using it this summer often.
It is so good!! You can slushy any drink as long as it’s not diet but I think even that you can wit allulose syrup, can’t wait to use this during the holidays, it’s also super easy to clean, I will say though you are not gunna get that classic airation that gas-station slushy have but this is really really close to it for being at home, the ice crystals are small and uniform, not as much as a soft feel as gas station ones but still great! I can’t speak to much on the longevity of the machine because I’ve only had it for almost 1 month but it has been doing great so far :)
I've only owned this for about a week and a half, but have tried all the styles of drinks it can make. Hopefully, there are some recipes that a require less fat to make the milk based drinks. Until then I'll be using it for slushies. Operation and clean up are a breeze. However, it's big and heavy. While it's an impressive appliance time will tell if it's worth the price of admission.
