- Do I really not need ice?
- Correct. You pour chilled drinks or mixes into the tank and the machine freezes and stirs them into slush. Starting with cold liquid speeds things up.
- How many drinks does the 92 fl oz tank make?
- About 92 fl oz, roughly six to eight small slushies depending on cup size and how much the mixture expands. It is a single batch, so one flavor at a time.
- How long does a batch take?
- Expect a wait of roughly 30 to 60 minutes for the first batch, depending on how cold the liquid is and the room temperature. The six speeds let you adjust texture as it freezes.
- Can I make alcoholic drinks in it?
- Yes, but alcohol lowers the freezing point, so use less liquor or a higher proportion of mix. Very strong cocktails may stay soft rather than firm.
- Is it hard to clean?
- The single tank and removable parts rinse out, but sugary residue needs a warm soapy wash after each use. Do not immerse the motor base.
- How does it compare with a blender and ice?
- A blender is faster for one or two drinks and does more jobs. This machine is better for hands-off batches and consistent slush without crushing ice.
- Where is the Slushie Machine for Home No Ice Needed Frozen Drink Maker cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $169.99, as of our latest check.
