I replaced the 68oz machine with the new XL. I love it. It took only 20min to freeze. When entertaining this needed when refilling. The only complaint is the machine is noticeably louder than the next model down. I would rate a 4.5 due to the sound. The actual foot print size is not much larger than the smaller model.
I was skeptical about buying something on the expensive side, but this was the bust purchase ever! I have brought it to work functions and girls' nights. It is heavy but will makes drinks for a huge group. It has been a crowd pleaser. We make mocktails, margs, and milkshakes in the slushi. I do not regret this purchase, and it is so worth it. I wish there was more colors!
We have the original Slushie machine and love it. We decided to purchase a 2nd one for our camper and chose this one due to the larger capacity. It is faster than the original however, you have to keep an eye on it as it will get thick on you really fast.
Worked great, I have the original, and just bought this to help with all the Partying we have for our large family. I put the ingredients in, walked away was able to party, and enjoy before a refill was needed. With the original one I have to make 4-5 batches this I made two and a half so definitely cut the need down tremendously.
