Hurry! The viral Ninja Slushi is back in stock — with a $50 discount

The Ninja Slushi next to a selection of iced drinks .

Yesterday we saw a restock in Ninja's viral Slushi machine, but while it's not sold out again once more at Ninja Kitchen, we've spotted it in stock at Walmart — with a $50 discount

The slushy maker went viral and swiftly sold out after its initial launch in July, leaving shoppers to sign up for restock alerts to get their hands on the brand's latest kitchen must-have. And while we were delighted to spot it back in stock at Ninja yesterday, this Walmart saving is the first time we've seen the Ninja Slushi go on sale. Given how fast Ninja's restock sold out, we don't think this deal will last long. 

We got to take the slushy maker for a spin in our Ninja Slushi review and found it absolutely worth the hype. We made a pitcher of frozen margaritas in under 30 minutes, and because there was no ice to dilute the drink, it remained nice and strong pour after pour. At $299, it's not cheap, so the $50 discount is a welcome addition. 

Is the Ninja Slushi worth it?

The Ninja Slushi uses a central self-cooling auger to turn any drink into a slushy with no added ice, and no need for a freezer. We searched for Ninja Creami alternatives online, but found that the only truly comparable product is Ninja's Creami Deluxe, which comes with a Slushi setting. However, you'll still need to pre-freeze any slushy drinks you want to make in the Creami, so it's not ideal for hosting or spontaneous summer drinks. 

When we tested it, our main concern was that this is another appliance that will take up plenty of countertop space in your kitchen. It offers five settings: Slush, Spiked Slush (for alcoholic beverages), Frappé, Milkshake, and Frozen Juice, and it claims to keep them cold for up to 12 hours — ideal for keeping the party going. 

While we're exiting frozen drink season, we still think it's worth grabbing the Ninja Slushi while you still can. It would make a fantastic gift to frozen drink lovers as we approach the holiday season, and even as the seasons get a bit colder, we still plan on getting plenty of use out of ours for seasonal entertaining.
