Ninja creates great products, and this one does not disappoint. It works exactly as advertised. I haven't tried recipes for Zero Sugar slushies yet, but they are in the wild. Some recipes will require tweaking to get your desired slushy consistency. This may mean adding a little water if too stiff, a little simple syrup if too loose or not freezing, or adjusting the temp control. Have fun with trying out new things.
The biggest surprise is the super easiness to clean. You can make your drink, and have this item cleaned out before your slushy even starts to melt a little. The rinse cycle is very handy, the disassembly/assembly is so user friendly. Ninja outdid themselves with this one. I've been enjoying it daily since I've gotten it trying all sorts mixes. Just remember to not use solids of any sorts, and if your slush is freezing on the drum and starts to knock, turn it off for a few minutes, adjust your mix and/or temp and start it up again and it will scrape the iced content away on its own.
Excellent machine 10 out of 5 stars, worth every penny.
I had a bon boyage party and it was a hit for the wine slushy treats we had. Clean up was so much easier than I thought it would be. Very glad I made thus purchase.
I got this a couple weeks ago and started testing it out with different drinks. Works amazing with soda, especially mountain dew 10/10 recommend. For juice I haven't had as much success it has either come out too wet or too thick but I'm working on it! For reference it's limeade that's giving me problems.
Wanted to love the product but after 3 days of usage, the machine started making weird noise and then shuts off. When it worked, it was great, however it didn’t work more than it did work. At first I thought we made the temp too high but even on regular temp, the machine would randomly break down. If I’m paying premium for this machine, it should work at all times. Used it at most 6 times and 4 of those time, the machine went bonkers. I had to turn it off when it started making loud cracking noise and then turn it back on like 5 times before the drink turned slush( only workaround so far I found) but also inconvient.
