Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker

The original Ninja SLUSHi: one 1.9-litre vessel, five presets (Slush, Frozen Cocktail, Frappé, Milkshake, Frozen Juice) and a built-in compressor, so you pour in a drink and it freezes it — no ice or blending.

Our notes

Strengths

  • Five presets cover slushes, frozen cocktails, frappés, milkshakes and juice
  • Ninja publishes clear rules: at least 4% sugar, and 2.8–16% ABV for cocktails
  • Ten temperature levels if you want it softer or firmer
  • Keeps non-dairy drinks frozen for up to 12 hours, says Ninja

Worth knowing

  • 1.9-litre maximum fill — about seven 260 ml drinks per batch
  • Heavy (13.63 kg) and needs a clear stretch of worktop
  • Diet and zero-sugar drinks won’t slush unless you add sugar
  • Spirits must be diluted: the whole mix has to stay between 2.8% and 16% ABV

Who it suits

Families and occasional hosts who want one flavour at a time, and the clearest published rules of any machine here.

Ninja’s support pages say each preset starts at a default temperature on a scale of 10 levels — the Slush preset at level 3 and the cocktail setting at level 9 — and you can adjust from there. If a drink has too little sugar or too much alcohol, the machine detects it and flashes its lights and beeps; see our cleaning & troubleshooting guide.

The same Ninja spec table that lists 200 watts also shows 120 volts, which is not a UK mains figure, so treat the power figure with some caution.

Recipes to try in it

Cola & fizzy

Cola slush

The simplest slush there is: pour in a full-sugar cola and press start. Diet cola won’t work — here’s why.
