Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Machine vs Cuisinart Frost Fusion

The Ninja SLUSHi is the stronger pick for most homes. It holds 72 oz, makes 7+ servings per batch, and keeps drinks frozen for up to 12 hours, so it suits parties and repeat rounds. The Cuisinart Frost Fusion is smaller and more versatile, with a built-in compressor, six presets, and a soft-serve mode the Ninja lacks. Owners rate the Ninja well at 4.5 from about 13,000 ratings; the Cuisinart is a newer, less-reviewed machine. Build quality is comparable, both are countertop compressor units with dishwasher-safe parts.

• Choose the Ninja SLUSHi if you want a large batch, long hold time, and one-button frozen drinks for a crowd.
• Choose the Cuisinart Frost Fusion if you want six presets and soft serve as well as frozen drinks in a smaller footprint.
