This slushie machine was a lifesaver during NYC’s heat wave
The Ninja Slushi Twist is a new dual-chamber frozen drink machine that allows users to prepare two different beverages simultaneously. It features automated temperature control for different drink textures and a dispensing system that can swirl flavors together.
Why it matters
This product represents a significant upgrade in home appliance convenience for entertaining, though its high price point and large footprint make it a niche investment.
Last weekend’s brutal NYC heat wave had me craving a frozen drink almost every afternoon. Normally, that would mean sweating through a walk to 7-Eleven for a slurpee. This time, though, I stayed home and put the new Ninja Slushi Twist to the test.
Ninja’s latest slushie machine builds on the popularity of the original Slushi, but with a big upgrade. Instead of a single mixing chamber, the Slushi Twist has two 48-ounce vessels that can make two completely different frozen drinks at the same time. Beyond classic slushies, it can also make frappés, milkshakes, frozen coffees, and smoothies — and because the two sides work independently, you can even keep one alcohol-free for mocktails while the other side mixes up cocktails.
