Product Description

Editorial Review

Slushees have been a childhood favorite for years. This machine lets you produce the chilled treats in minutes, without leaving home. After you assemble the maker using the easy-to-follow instructions, add ice, salt, and water to the canister as directed, and then pour in soda, fruit juice, or another liquid for flavor. Crank the handle for a few minutes (small kids may need to take turns) and you have a slushy, yummy treat. A plastic measuring cup and two red plastic cups are included. This toy needs no refill flavor packs and is easy to clean after each use.

From the Manufacturer

This kit includes 1 Icee Maker, 4 Cups, 4 Lids, and 4 straws. All you need is Ice, Salt, water and any flavoured non diet or fruit drink. Once the child adds the ingredients they crank the Ice and magically make Slushee's. Bring the magic of Slushee into your home and watch your child's face as their drink turns to Slushee .

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, October 29, 2003

This machine is actually pretty nice. It makes an Icee just like from the store. You have to turn it longer than the instructions say, but you do wind up with a regular Icee, just small amounts, but it will fill up the two small cups provided. It also tastes great. Also, make sure you don't overfill the metal canister with too much ice and salt or it will come out the top into your Icee and make it salty. Also remember the ice and salt goes into the metal canister (not the drink) and the drink into the mixing part. Another thing I like about this toy is that water doesn't leak everywhere when you use it. It's not very messy at all.

The best thing about this toy is you don't have to buy refills. You just use soda, or juice. Clean up is pretty easy, the kids can do it.

We bought both this toy and the McDonalds McFlurry machine,please read my review of it. If you are trying to decide between the two, you definately want the Icee Maker.

My 10 year old daughter really enjoys this. Some notes:
1. This is not a toy for unsupervised use. The ice/salt combination gets VERY cold; if it comes into contact with skin it will freeze to the skin (kind of like licking the flag pole, for those of you that remember the movie).
2. It takes some time to figure out how to put it together the first time, but is a breeze after that.
3. Quantities are small, but enough to satisfy a kid.
4. Hmmm....this could be used to make margaritas, too. :-) But, see note 3.
5. Cranking typically takes a few minutes longer than the instructions say -- but that's part of the group fun involved.
6. I gave this a "3" in educational, because this gives kids a little science lesson on how salted ice can be used to freeze water.

Mostly, I'm just amazed that a $... product actually does what it says it will do. If you think you'd enjoy using this with your kids, it's a great buy. If you aren't interested in using this with them, then avoid it.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Love Slushees!!, February 19, 2003

This review is from: Slushee Maker (Toy)

This beautifully patriotic slushee maker is really terrific. I originally purchased it as a gift in an attempt to bribe one of my girlfriend's overly suspicious kids, but once I tested it out for myself (I made several delicious adult slooshees) I decided to keep it and buy another one for the kid.

The Slushee Maker by Spin Master Toys is easy to operate (even after seven slooshies), creates perfectly slushed ice, and (best of all) is a breeze to clean. There are no special added ingredients necessary--simply add the ice, some salt, sugar (if desired), and your beverage of choice. The cranking mechanism requires some muscle power, but even a 10-year old kid (or a sloshed adult) can crank it with minimal effort. What a find!!! A hearty cheers to Spin Master Toys for this contraption.
