  • Our take on the Nostalgia Retro Slush Drink Maker

    The Nostalgia Retro Slush Drink Maker is a countertop frozen-drink machine with a 32-ounce tank and a nostalgic diner-style look. It does not use a compressor or refrigerant: it freezes a mix of crushed ice, salt and your drink, then dispenses through a spout with a three-way switch. It suits parties and family gatherings where kids and adults want slushies, and it is far simpler and lighter than compressor slush machines, but it needs pre-crushed ice and salt each time and makes one batch at a time. Owners like the look and the fun factor; reviewers warn that the slush comes out soft and that the ice-to-salt ratio takes practice.

    What reviewers say

    Owners describe it as a fun novelty machine that looks great and is easy to set up, but many say the slush texture is inconsistent and the ice-and-salt method takes trial and error. It gets the most praise for parties and kids, and the most complaints for soft results and the need to keep buying ice.

    What people mention
    • Slush textureMixedOwners say the slush is often softer and more watery than expected, and firmness depends on getting the ice and salt ratio right.
    • SetupPraisedReviewers call it easy to assemble and simple to operate, with a straightforward spout and switch.
    • Ice and saltCriticisedUsers dislike having to supply crushed ice and salt for every batch, which adds prep and repeat cost.
    • BuildMixedThe retro look is praised, but some owners find the plastic lid and parts less sturdy than they look.
    • Party usePraisedIt is most liked at parties and family gatherings, where kids enjoy watching and dispensing the slush.

    Questions and answers

    Does it need ice and salt to work?
    Yes. It freezes by mixing crushed ice and salt around the drink, so you need both for every batch. It has no compressor or refrigerant.
    How much slush does one batch make?
    The tank holds 32 ounces, which is several small servings. You make one flavor at a time and refill for the next batch.
    How long does it take to freeze a batch?
    It depends on how cold and how finely crushed your ice is and on the ice-to-salt ratio. Expect to stir and check, and to experiment a few times before you get firm slush.
    Is it good for a kids' party?
    It is a good fit for parties and family gatherings, and kids enjoy the dispensing switch. Plan on pre-crushing ice and making batches back to back.
    How does it compare with a compressor slush machine?
    Compressor machines freeze on their own and can run continuously, but they are heavier and cost much more. This one is light, simple and manual, with softer results and more prep.
    How do you clean it?
    The lid and tank parts come apart for hand washing, and the spout needs rinsing after use. Dry the parts well before storing.
    Where is the Nostalgia Retro Slush Drink Maker cheapest?
    At Amazon, for $69.99, as of our latest check.
