Nostalgia Slushie Machine vs Iceman Slush-Ease MAX Slushy Maker

The Iceman Slush-Ease MAX is the better machine for most shoppers. It freezes liquid on its own in about 30 minutes, holds slush for up to 12 hours, and has a 90-ounce tank with five presets and dishwasher-safe parts. The Nostalgia is a small, retro-looking 40-ounce shaver that needs you to add ice and stirs it into a drink; owners rate it lower and it makes one or two servings at a time. Choose the Iceman for family use and repeat batches, and the Nostalgia only if you want a compact, inexpensive-looking counter piece for occasional drinks.

• Choose the Nostalgia Slushie Machine if you want a small, retro-styled shaver for one or two drinks at a time and don't mind adding your own ice.
• Choose the Iceman Slush-Ease MAX if you want a larger machine that freezes drinks by itself, holds them cold for hours, and cleans up in the dishwasher.
