Nothing hits the spot like a frozen drink in the summer. But until recently, there wasn’t a whole lot of frozen drink-making happening in my home. Last month, Ninja released a professional frozen drink maker — the Ninja Slushi — and I was able to get it into my kitchen before it sold out (and then sold out again). Over the course of two weeks, I experimented and made all kinds of drinks with it, from a creamy strawberry milkshake to a coffee frappé. The Ninja Slushi is finally back in stock (for now), so if you’re a fellow frozen drink lover, read on for my full review.
The often sold-out Ninja Slushi has five presets: slush, spiked slush, frappé, milkshake and frozen juice. With the press of a button, you can transform soda, juice and more into a delicious frozen beverage, thanks to Ninja’s RapidChill Technology.
Enjoy frozen drinks and slushies at home with the Ninja SLUSHI™, a high-performance slush machine that requires no ice! Featuring exclusive RapidChill Technology, it freezes liquids evenly for smooth, flavorful results every time. With five preset settings, you can customize the thickness and texture of your drink, from light and sippable to thick and spoon-worthy.

Cleanup is effortless with dishwasher-safe parts and a built-in rinse cycle. Elevate your refreshment game with the ultimate frozen drink maker!
The Ninja Slushi machine was easy to use and produced nicely textured frozen drinks. It worked well with a variety of ingredients, even dairy and alcohol. The machine is large, though, so if storage or counter space is an issue, be warned.
The Ninja Slushi does its namesake task well. It successfully made frosty frozen juice, slurpable slushies, and frothy frappés. I liked how easy it was to use: Just open the latch on the tank, add your ingredients, select your function and freeze level, and the machine will start whirring. The rinse function was helpful, too, making it easier to fully clean the tank of any sugary residue.
It’s not all fun and games with the Ninja Slushi—there are a few pitfalls. First, its large stature makes it difficult to store, and if you have low cabinets, good luck fitting it on your countertop. Second, the dispenser isn’t super efficient—you have to keep the machine running to serve slushies, which plop and glop into a glass rather than stream smoothly. The texture of the frozen drinks, while good, wasn’t quite as silky as ones made by an industrial machine. It was a little messy to clean too. Some liquid collected in the catch basin beneath the tank and spilled everywhere when I removed it. Finally, it’s expensive considering it likely won’t be used daily—unless you’re a slushie fiend.
