I’m a big fan of slushies, especially cola flavoured ones- but they aren’t so common these days. Was curious when I saw this... thought it may be worth a go. Chose the Coke branded one as I liked the look for a few extra quid.It arrived yesterday- I read the instructions, washed dried and put in freezer at 1500. It’s recommended to have it in the freezer 8-18hrs. I couldn’t wait- thought I’d give it ago 6hrs later. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did (I did pop a couple of ice cubes in the drink as I thought it may help- took them out half way through the process). What resulted was a refreshing cold and soft slush! (That the Mrs tried to nick off me!)You should’ve seen the smile on my face!Im guessing it would work faster if I had kept it in freezer for the recommended time.Washed/ dried and back in the freezer ready for tomorrow afternoon!A bit pricey for what it is- but I’m going to make sure I get good use from this! I’m looking forward to experimenting and trying different recipes.

This is probably the first slushy maker we've bought that works. Looks great and although doesn't fit a full can of pop, it kept my slushy obsessed daughter very happy. Feels durable but will have to be careful of dropping... But you could say that about a lot of things. Would buy again.Update: Make sure that the drink you are using has been refrigerated too and has sugar in it (apple juice works great) - diet cola didn't work but full sugar version did - think was something to do with aspartame not freezing the same

This works exactly as described. There must be over 4% sugar, and just scrape the sides every 1 to 1.5 minutes with the provided spoon. About 10 minutes later, you'll have a slushie. After about 2 weeks, my son is still very enthusiastic, and trying new flavour combos. What I also like is that this slushie maker limits his sugar intake to one 8fl oz drink per day (small, but enough when frozen). After use, it is easy to clean and pop back in the freezer - to be ready for use again the next day.

works great for making just about anything slushy in minutes. if you start with something cold it slushes way faster.

I want to forewarn you, this is a lonnnnggggg review. If you'll bear with me, though, hopefully you will find it worth reading. If not, my apologies in advance. :-)So far, I've only used dairy products in my slushy cup, not soda or juice. If I find I have more to add to this review, after I try using soda/juice, I will be sure to write an addendum. Also, at the bottom of this review, I will elaborate on which dairy products I've tried, my (so-called) 'recipes', how I pre-mix said dairy products, etc., in hopes that my experimenting will give other folks some ideas and/or save them time.The description for this ZUKU slushy cup claims one can make milkshakes with it. Well, that's true... sort of. It does, indeed, become the consistency of a milkshake, but only for a little while. As it continues freezing it becomes the consistency of soft-serve ice cream (actually, I prefer that over a milkshake) so, if you want a milkshake, you'll need to drink rather quickly, before it's too thick to drink. I estimate that it takes, perhaps, 8-10 mins until it reaches the soft-serve stage.It has been my experience that when I have an inch or so left in the bottom of the cup it becomes like frost on a windshield, stiffer than soft-serve ice cream but not really like your typical 'hard' (scoopable) ice cream. It's still tasty, of course, just frosty... literally. I'll warn you, too, that once it starts to freeze, if you don't continuously scrape the sides, it will freeze HARD and it will have to thaw some before you can scrap it off. So, be sure to keep rotating the cup and scraping!‐-----------------------------TIPS: 1) The cup will only hold about 8 oz at a time.2) To prevent the ingredients from freezing at different stages (when adding more than one liquid), I use an empty 16.9 oz water bottle to pre-mix my ingredients. That, also, allows one to make a double batch, either to eat/drink all in one sitting or to have some ready for the next time.3) If you want to use your mixture all in one sitting, when your milkshake/ice cream is about half gone, top it off and stir well. Keep stirring/scraping/eating, gradually adding the rest of your mixture until it's all in.4) I'm sure it goes without saying, the longer the cup is out of the freezer, the more slowly it will freeze your ingredients. I haven't had it NOT freeze all 16(-ish) ounces, but the last little bits are definitely softer than when the cup was colder.-------------------------------INGREDIENTS I'VE TRIED (very few, so far):The first 2 times I used flavored coffee creamer, half and half, and 2% milk* (which is what we happened to have on hand). The first time, using a 16.9 oz water bottle, I mixed 4(-ish) oz amaretto flavored creamer, 6-ish oz half and half, and 6-ish oz milk*.The second time, I used a tiny bit less (3-ish oz) flavored creamer (Irish Cream this time), a tiny bit more half and half (7-ish oz), and the same 6-ish oz milk. I couldn't taste the creamer as much as I prefer to so, in the future, I'll opt for quantities closer to what I used the first time.The third time (tonight), I used about 3T real coconut cream (I used Coco Re'al brand real cream of coconut because it's in a squeeze bottle, not a can), 4T whipped cream from a can (that's harder to measure because I sprayed it directly into the bottle, so 4T is just a 'guesstimate'), then I put in half and half to about 2" from the top, finally, I topped it off with milk, leaving enough space to be able to shake it all up. That mixture was REALLY good, but I might add just a touch more coconut cream, for more coconut flavor.I haven't tried this, yet, but one MIGHT be able to stir in small amounts of things like toffee bits, crushed peanuts, popping candy and so on. I want to try adding flavored extracts at some point, too. I recommend that you do as I have... experiment... use your imagination... and, most importantly, have fun!*Whole (vitamin D) milk will be a bit creamier, 1% a bit less, but I wouldn't recommend using skim. I don't know how well non-dairy products will freeze (or not freeze, as the case may be), so you'll need to find out by trial and error.‐-----------------------------UPDATE, Junex17, 2022I tried Minute Maid fruit punch (non-carbonated) in it. It 'slushed up' quite nicely and it didn't get over-frozen, like the dairy priduct(s) do. It was a perfect slush.----------------------------UPDATE, June 20, 2022:I tried Sprite in it last night. That's probably been my favorite. It does get a bit more stiff than a machine-type slush when you get close to the end but, still, it was VERY refreshing! I wish sugar-free drinks would work because I don't often drink sugared soda but, hey, it is what it is. I still say BUY IT if you want a slush cup that works well!
