What it does
The Ninja SLUSHi is a countertop frozen-drink maker. It turns suitable liquids into slush without adding ice, with presets for slush, frozen juice, milkshakes, frappés, and spiked drinks.
Follow Ninja’s ingredient and recipe requirements. Not every drink is suitable for the machine, so check the manufacturer’s guidance before experimenting.
What to consider
- Counter space: check the dimensions of the FS301 and leave the clearance specified in the manual.
- Recipe requirements: use compatible ingredients and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for sugar content and substitutions.
- Cleaning and storage: read the care instructions and consider where you’ll keep the machine between uses.
Who it’s for
The SLUSHi may appeal to people who regularly make frozen drinks at home or host gatherings. Consider how often you would use a dedicated drink maker, rather than buying it solely because it is appearing in your feed.
