Nothing says summer like a homemade frozen treat—and right now, one of our top picks for the best slushie machine, the Ninja Slushi, is over 40% off thanks to Prime Day. This marks the first time the viral drink maker has dipped below $200 on Amazon, making it all the more irresistible for summer parties.
“With its generous 88-ounce capacity, it’s especially great for entertaining, family movie nights, kids’ parties, or anyone who wants to whip up a large batch of frozen drinks without making them one at a time,” says Jamie Ueda, contributing writer and analyst at the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen & Cooking Lab.
Deputy commerce editor Heath Owens found the internet-famous gadget makes great frosé. “I admittedly didn’t follow a recipe, just emptied the bag of boxed rosé wine into the machine with some sparkling water, and it froze effortlessly within about 30 minutes. When it started to get too frozen or run low, we just added a little more rosé at a time. It turned out great and was a hit at my friend’s rooftop party!”
The Slushi has five preset settings: one for alcoholic and one for nonalcoholic slushes, as well as a frappé setting for frozen coffee drinks, a milkshake setting, and a frozen juice setting. Take note: A nice benefit of slushie machines in general is that they don’t require ice, so you don’t have to worry about chilling ingredients beforehand or diluting your recipe.
The Slushi isn’t the only Ninja appliance that’s deeply discounted for Amazon Prime Day, either. Other countertop appliances like the Crispi glass air fryer, Creami ice cream maker (which was last year’s viral appliance of choice), and Foodi smart toaster are also marked down by up to 46%. Prices are expected to rise when the sale ends on Friday, June 26—plus, if you order now, they’ll arrive in time for the Fourth of July.
