 love it October 1, 2008
I love this! It works well, crushes ice just fine and small enough where I don't mind keeping it on the counter so I have a smoothie whenever I want rather than being too lazy to take out the blender!
 Very nice September 8, 2008
Have been using the slushie express for about a month. I use it to make milk shakes and smoothies. I have had more smoothies in last one month than in the whole year. The only problem is it doesn't have a on/off switch. May be thats the reason many reviewers have complained of the side knobs breaking off after few uses. Otherwise, its a nice compact machine.
Husband enjoyed September 8, 2008
My husband loves Slushies, but they're full of sugar. I bought this for him so he can make sugar-free slushies. He really likes it.
This SMOOTHIE maker is awesome!! August 24, 2008
I love this machine - we are on our second one. The first one still works but I just wanted a back up one. We use this 2-3 times per day. If you are taking a powdered protien supplement this machine is perfect. I use it to make 2 kinds of smoothies - a fruity one and a coffee one.
Here is my recipe for fruity: 6-8oz. Non-sugar added Juice, 2 large spoonfulls of organic yogurt, 1 scoop vanilla protien powder, fill to top with frozen fruit, screw on lid and blend.
Recipe for coffee smoothie: 8-10 oz. cold coffee, 1/2 scoop vanilla 1/2 scoop chocolate protien powder, hazelnut creamer, fill to top with ice cubes, screw on lid and blend.
The best part about this machine is the clean up!!! We just rinse the lid with hot soapy water and stick the cups in the dishwasher.
I also bought 3 extra cups which works out great because 2 are always being used or dirty and 2 are always clean.
One more thing, I have also used this to chop onions and make salad dressing as well.
Easy and versatile! August 3, 2008
We bought this machine to make cool treats on hot summer days. The machine comes with the motor base, a blade housing, a cup, a lid, and a spoon/straw. It does not include any syrup. We bought extra cups so each of us could have our own. You make the slushie by filling to the markings on the cup...first the syrup, then the water, and last, the ice. Then you screw the blade housing to the top of the cup, flip the cup over, put it in the machine, and twist to turn the machine on. In about 20 seconds, you have a slushie! Twist back, unscrew the blade housing, screw on the lid, and enjoy. The only cleaning you have to do is the cup pieces and blade. Note: You really need to use small ice cubes or crushed ice for this. The cup is much smaller than a blender, and the contents of the cup need to be able to move around to blend properly.
My youngest is only two years old and I really didn't want him drinking a big slushie. I had a pretty ripe banana and got to thinking...so I cut up the small banana, added some strawberry yogurt, milk and ice, and blended. Well, he enjoyed the smoothie as much as the kids enjoyed the slushies. In fact, they decided the next time they wanted smoothies, too. We made strawberry banana, banana, and chocolate banana. We loved them! I also remembered a recipe I used to make in the blender and decided to try that, too. Small pieces of watermelon, a bit of sugar and a bit of lime juice, some water and ice...watermelon coolers! Our slushie machine turned into a summer drink machine. The directions have a few good ideas, like using the cherry syrup with ice, and cola instead of water for a cherry cola slushie. Use your imagination and your family's preferences for some great treats!
I have found the syrups, when added to their directions, are sweet enough but not super sweet. You can add more or less according to your own preferences. They also have sugar free syrups and even daiquiri syrup. I have seen a few available here, and the company, Focus Electrics, also sells them. We've only had ours for about a month but it is holding up great. I have no complaints!
