How is the Slushi Max different from the original Ninja Slushi?

It has a larger 150-oz vessel with a 112-oz liquid fill, and Ninja rates it about twice as fast. The original is smaller and easier to fit on a counter.

Do I need to add ice?

No. It freezes liquid ingredients itself using a compressor, so you pour in the mix and it turns to slush.

Can it make alcoholic drinks?

Yes, including margaritas. Higher-alcohol mixes freeze more slowly, so expect longer set times and adjust the temperature settings.

How many servings does one batch make?

Ninja rates it at 12 or more servings per batch from the 112-oz maximum liquid fill.

How long do drinks stay slushy?

Ninja says the compressor holds texture for up to 12 hours on recipes without dairy. Creamy drinks should be served sooner.

What comes in the box?

The cooling unit, a 150-oz vessel with pour handle, a drip tray, and access to six programs and 15 temperature settings.

What reviewers say
