The Ninja SLUSHi utilizes a compressor-based cooling loop and "RapidChill" technology to transform liquids into a frozen slush consistency. Unlike machines that require pre-frozen bowls, this 88-ounce unit uses a direct-contact evaporator drum made of anodized aluminum for efficient heat transfer. The vessel is constructed from PETG copolymer, a BPA-free material selected for its clarity and durability under thermal cycling.
Features include five specialized presets that adjust the auger's motion based on the ingredients, such as margaritas or frappes. Specifications indicate the machine reaches a slush state in about 60 minutes, though performance is highly dependent on the sugar content of the mix. To help monitor the system's longevity, it is important to ensure the auger is correctly seated and that the mixture has sufficient sugar to prevent the motor from encountering excessive resistance.
Functional features include:
- RapidChill compressor for cooling without pre-freezing.
- 88-ounce capacity for high-volume serving.
- Preset programs for different frozen textures.
For a smaller, portable option that focuses on making fresh ice rather than mixing drinks, the Newair Portable Ice Maker is a great addition to any kitchen.
