If you thought Ninja had maxed out on buys for your kitchen, think again. The brand has finally launched the Ninja Slushi on its UK website to buy for £299.99, enabling you to slurp all kinds of frozen drinks at home all year long.
Designed to bring 'commercial-grade frozen beverages' into your home, the Ninja Slushi isolates one of the features from the recently released Ninja Creami Deluxe and multiplies it by ten, with no need to pre-freeze ingredients.
That's a marked change from other similar machines like this we've seen before, and according to Ninja, that's all down to the brand's RapidChill technology, which means there's integrated system that freezes your ingredients as it churns them and keeps them optimally cold. Here's our full first look at this appliance that's sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike.
Available to buy now from the Ninja UK website, the Ninja Slushi will make the perfect gift for those who love to entertain this Christmas.
What is the Ninja Slushi?
Cooling off at the beach or park with a frozen drink is one thing, but the Ninja Slushi is designed to bring that possibility home and is kitted with the following settings: Slush, Frozen Cocktail, Frappé, Milkshake, and Frozen Juice.
It does this with 'no ice needed, no sharp blades, and no blending'. Instead, it has a 'two-part system [that] freezes liquid evenly and maintains the optimum temperature, allowing users to create customised frozen drinks tailored to their preferred temperature, thickness, flavour, and consistency.'
All of that essentially means that rather than relying on prefreezing ingredients, you'll have a machine the same standard as you might find in a professional setting, which is likely to save you a lot of time and hassle, just like the best Ninja air fryers.
To operate, all you need to do is pour your chosen liquid into the Slushi, and then select from one of the five presets. It's then a 30-60 minute wait for your drinks to freeze and be ready to serve, making this a pretty fun dinner party addition.
This short wait time makes it markedly different from the Ninja Creami Deluxe, which I've used to make fantastic frozen cocktails, but with a days prep needed.
We got a sneak peek at the Ninja Slushi in September, where it looked just as good in person as it has all over our social media feeds. When this appliance went live in the US over the summer, it sold out almost instantly, so if you're already imagining the kind of drinks you can spin up with it, we'd recommend acting fast.
If you're a Ninja fan, and can't wait to get hold of a Slushi to add to your collection, then today's a good day. And with Black Friday just around the corner in a few weeks, we can't wait to see which other Ninja deals might be worth splurging on then too.
