Got this today and used it. Followed the instructions minus freezing the canister first, may try that next time.The Good. Got this on sale so didn’t pay a-lot. Esthetically, it looks nice. Good packaging and design make it seem like an actual machine from a store. Instructions are pretty simple and straightforward. Would be nice if they had the extra instructions included with the main instructions. Makes decent slushee. Not of course professional quality from an expensive machine but it makes slushy flavored drinks. We used koolaid for ours, worked fine over expensive syrups.The Bad. Mine leaks, not a lot but enough to be annoying and require a paper plate underneath to catch the drips.The Ehh. Bit of a process for setup and cleanup. Longevity is questionable as the parts that have the most torque and abuse are all plastic.Final thoughts. If you get it on sale, it’s worth a few bucks for some tasty fun for your kids, but don’t expect it to work like one the more expensive versions.

This was an awful purchase and couldn’t return it because it had been longer than 30 days. I had not even tried to use it until the weather got warmer. Money lost just put it in trash! $157.00 down the drain!

Bought this for my 9 year old grandson. He begged me to buy it for him. What a disappointment! It takes over 2 hours and the flavours don’t taste very good. I ordered Icee flavours (cherry and blue raspberry). Don’t waste your money. I sent a refund request but reading prior reviews it doesn’t appear they refund your money. Wish I had read all the reviews before buying. Amazon should not support this. Lots of bad reviews. I could have spent $229 on a better one.

This machine is perfect. It’s so fun for the kids and I to use. The only downside is cleaning it, making sure every part gets clean. I will say it uses A LOT of salt I was not prepared for that part so cleaning every part is very Important. It also makes a “slush” consistency, not an “icy” consistency. Overall it’s easy to use and fun for the kids to participate.

I bought this machine so I could try and replicate the frozen Dr. Pepper from McDonald’s, and it works AMAZING!! I did a lot of research before buying since they aren’t exactly cheap, but this to me is worth every penny!First off there are a few tips to know that are super helpful to ensure your icee experience goes smooth. Freeze the middle canister for a minimum of 15-30 mins and chill your drink of choice before trying to make anything otherwise it’s going to take way longer to make and since the machine is a tad bit noisy I try to do what I can to cut back on the run time. Next would be make sure whatever you are trying to icee that it is high in sugar or it will NOT WORK.It’s honestly super easy to use and personally I have loved trying all different kinds of “icee” flavors aka soda, don’t bother buying the syrups unless it’s something you really want. Soda and high sugar drinks are what I have found work best and keeps it on the budget friendly side.Lastly it’s really easy to clean!! The lid comes off completely and the middle removes as well! Hopefully this helps!

I was disappointed at unboxing and it was down hill from there. The entire unit is cheap plastic including the blades intended for ice crushing, it did not work and requires hours of preparation to enjoy something nothing like a slushee. I am sure any response will be to inform me of end user error, defend all you want...any human will immediately regret this purchase and still not have a slushee or icee to drink. Total waste of money and I am aghast they charged as much as they did for this POS. I am not even gonna buy this brand at gas stations any more as I literally have a bad taste in mouth from this purchase.

You definitely need to make sure you have enough "salt" added to the ice container. Otherwise you will be sitting around for hours wondering "whats taking so long?".I like the machine. But it only makes upwards to 32 oz of slushie. It would help if you use smaller cups around 8oz to be able to share with more people.You will use up nearly the entire small bottle of icee syrup. I would suggest you buy the larger bottles as it will be gone before you know it.I am very happy and my kids loved it. Definitely a pretty cool gift and i will put it to good use during the summer hot weather.

Definitely cool. Doesn't work as good with sugar free drinks cause of the freezing but good other wise.

Used it twice now. Made regular black cherry slushies and coffee frappes they came out great. We make our own ice cream so We used rock salt have to say DONT USE ROCK SALT, it binds it up. Use table or kosher salt. The second run of frappes (coffee syrup and 2% milk) came out better than Starbucks. We did end up increasing the syrup to 7 oz instead of 5 oz for both runs. It goes quick. Watch it like a hawk after 10 min because its one of those nothing, nothing, nothing, holy cow we got slushies!!! Make sure to keep the ice topped off and you're golden. Prep is key though make sure everything is cold when you start. Kids are on missions now to find wacky flavors to prank friends when we get out of lockdown. 🤫 the noise isn't any louder than a hand mixer or regular ice cream machine but if it gets loud it meant something was wrong (rock salt binding it up in our case)
