- How long does it take to freeze a full 12 L batch?
- Expect a few hours for a full bowl, depending on starting temperature and sugar content. Chilling the mix beforehand shortens the wait. Thick mixes freeze more slowly than watery ones.
- Can it make alcoholic frozen drinks?
- Yes, but alcohol lowers the freezing point, so use less spirit or a higher-sugar mixer. Very strong cocktails may stay slushy only at the edges. Test a small batch first.
- Is it meant for home use or commercial use?
- It works in both, but the 12 L bowl and 500 W draw suit parties, cafés and stands better than a small kitchen. For one or two people, a smaller machine is easier to store and clean.
- What can I make besides slushies?
- Frozen cocktails, granita, frozen lemonade and slush coffee all work. Avoid mixes with large fruit chunks or heavy pulp, which can clog the auger.
- How do I clean it?
- Drain the bowl, then wash the bowl and auger with warm soapy water and rinse the stainless parts. Dry before storing to prevent residue and odor.
