This purchase was for my birthday and I have been enjoying it very much. There's all kinds of things that you could use this for. You could even make protein shakes. Regardless I thought it was a great purchase and highly recommend. Get yourself a book on soft serve ice cream recipes.

Why I didn't get a slushie machine before. I can't brag enough about it. Especially during these hot summer days, this machine get overworked. On the weekends I have it run half a day. It was simple to get it going and the recipe book that came with it helped my inspiration. Not only that it has exact recipes, but also includes directions for making my own mixes, which I've been doing. One important step I found is to have the right amount of water and sugar, and with that my smoothies always come out tasting great. It hold a good amount and it is not very loud. It freezes the mixes quickly and holds it at the temperature for as long as needed. Even has a night mode for when I have leftovers, where it keeps it cold but not frozen. Cleaning is fairly easy as well, only 3 4 parts that need to be removed and rinsed. Very happy with it

What a great slushy machine ! Perfect for soft, serve, smoothies, and chilled drinks. I had a minor repair needed, and the part was shipped out immediately with no charge well worse the purchase. It fits perfect perfectly under my counter also.

Bought this on FB, a bit of an impulse buy, a bit of a splurge. We didn't expect to use it as much as we have been. We have been having frozen margaritas almost every night. So easy to prep, use and clean. It's great for making just a couple for the two of us or for a night in with friends. It's pretty quiet and doesn't take too long to freeze. For as much as we have already used it and plan to use it, it's worth the price. Highly recommend.

Excellent slushie machine. Cold delicious drinks in 15mins to an hour, depending on how much your making. The 6 presets all work as intended and make the desired drinks with a press of a button. It really is easy to make slushies with this machine, including frappes and other textures to try. The machine itself looks great and is simple to use and even better, its easy to clean up. As far as the machine and the way its been working and its functionality and easy of cleaning, its awesome. The only thing i think could be better is the display pictures of the 6 presets. They are somewhat hard to read and could have a better art/design.

The Garve Slushie Machine is a sleek, surprisingly quiet addition to a home bar setup. The LED display and preset programs make it feel easy to use, even for someone who’s never owned a frozen drink maker before. The large capacity is great for gatherings, and once you figure out the right mix, it produces smooth, consistent slushies and frozen drinks without needing to mess around with ice.

That said, the included recipes could definitely use some work. The margarita recipe in particular just didn’t freeze properly—the alcohol-to-lime juice ratio was off, and the result was overly sweet and more of a chilled cocktail than a slush. Adjusting the mix on your own makes a big difference, though, and once you dial in your preferred ratios, the machine performs really well. It does take about an hour so plan ahead! Overall, it’s a fun, well-built appliance that delivers great results—just skip the recipe guide and trust your own taste.

This is a kitchen gadget we've been wanting for a while, and we are not disappointed. The slushie machine works great! I love all the different options too, from a drink slushie to ice cream. It's super easy to work. It shows the temp as it works. We tried it for the first time this weekend when my husband made a raspberry lemonade. Within about 30 or so minutes we had a nice, slushie mix. You don't have to add ice and any frozen components. We only added the liquid and it did the rest. And you can see the mechanics too, which is a neat bonus. It cleans easily. You pop the container right off the machine.

I love this machine. The slushies are perfect.

If you love icy drinks but hate the hassle, this is for you.The best part? No ice, no pre-chilling, nothing. Just pour in your juice, coffee, soda, whatever — and in minutes, it turns into perfectly smooth slush, milkshakes, or ice cream. Super fast, no mess, no waiting around.I’m also obsessed with how easy it is: 6 one-touch presets and a clear LED display. Pick your mode, press a button, and you’re done. Even if you’ve never made anything frozen before, you’ll nail it every time.Cleanup is a breeze too, and the size is great for family or guests.If you want frozen drinks at home without the work, this machine is 100% worth it.

I like the nice white finish so it matches decor. Such an easy machine to use. Love making slushie by push of a button..
