Great slushies, but be gentle...,
By
This review is from: Back to Basics SITSELP Slushie Express (Kitchen)
I bought this slushie maker as an impulse buy as I was looking for snack alternatives during a time when I was trying to lose weight, and I don't fully regret it at all. It makes wonderful slushies in no time, is easy to clean, but it is helpful to use smaller ice-cubes. Larger ones tend to not circulate as well in the cup and you'll end up shaking the cup to break the log-jam free.
As an extra bonus to this review, I'll pass along a suggestion for low-calorie slushies: instead of the high-calorie sugary syrups, use a small shot of sugar-free maple syrup (for sweetness and to create the smooth texture of a slushie) and add half of a 5 calorie Crystal Light On The Go packet. I prefer the strawberry or cherry. When you add the syrup and the Crystal Light, you only have maybe 25 or 30 calories, which is really nothing for a delicious and quick slushie. Ok, I digress. I have but one caveat: There are two small plastic tabs on the sides of the cup which lock it into the motorized base and turn on the power. After a week or two of use, I broke one of the tabs off as I was inserting them into the base... fortunately only one tab is required to activate the motor so I can still make slushies, but if this second tab breaks, I will have to buy another slushie maker. I've never been the most gentle boy with my toys, so just be gentle with yours and all should be well. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A worthwhile purchase.,
By A friend invited us to dinner and made us slushies for desert with this device, purchased from a local big box store (whose name rhymes with mal-wart). Anyway, the slushies were delicious, made with with Nescafe Ice Java ([...]). A few days later, while at another big box store (whose name rhymes with gartet), I found one for the right price, and bought it and 3 more cups (we're a family of 4). At another store we found some Nescafe and a bag of ice. We've been making smoothies every day since. We've made them with the Nescafe, chocolate milk, malted milk powder, pina colada mix, and my current beverage, a concoction made with strawberry slushie powder, milk, and frozen srawberries and banana instead of the ice. Protip: buy the 7-11 aluminum slurpee straws! Eco-friendly and they stay cold. Plus the larger bore eliminates the need for any spoon.

Would be perfect if it could handle "regular" ice - not just crushed,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Back to Basics SITSELP Slushie Express (Kitchen)
This is a great machine. My kids love it and clean up is a breeze. My only complaint is that it can't crush large pieces of ice. Since we don't have crushed on hand we end up trying to break up regular cubes before they even go in the machine (which kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?) Even so, we love it.
We use flavor ice pops (the kind they sell at room temperature at the grocery store) as the syrup. The kids can make differnt flavor combinations and it's much, much cheaper than buying several different full size syrup bottles.
