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.

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.

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.

I have used this a couple of times to make slushy screwdrivers, and they came out great! It was pretty easy to clean; I have only washed by hand so far. It is a nice, impressive machine, I hope to use it for the upcoming holiday parties. Very happy with this so far!

Really easy to use! It's a simple machine, but is sturdy and efficient.I thought it would leak, but so far, no leaks at all!!!!!The presets do a good job of making it clear what you're doing/getting, and make it easy to use.Cleaning it is also way easier than I expected, which is a huge plus.

This slushie maker is amazingly easy to use and it works great! Just pour most of a 2-liter pop bottle into the chamber, press the slushie button, and wait 45-60 minutes, and any gas station slushie will be put to shame! I've done Coke, Pepsi, Mt. Dew, and even Cotton Candy soda, and it was all fantastic. Cleanup is easy, just fill it with plain water and run it out the tap on the front into a large or multiple cups. I like to nitpick, and honestly, I can't find anything wrong with this machine! If you like frozen beverages you should get one.

This is exactly what I didn't know I've always needed! My adult kids and I make slushies every weekend. This literally turns any juice, soda, etc into a slush without having to add ice or do any additional blending. We just pour the drink into the canister and turn it on, and less than an hour later we have slushes for everyone.Spiked slushes is also an option, and everything is touch-to-activate. Very easy to use, and very easy to clean!!! A fun way to treat the family to a frozen treat.

At the time of writing this review, this slushie machine costs $269.99.

I have always wanted a slushie machine. And this is the kind of slushie machines!

First and foremost, I love that this unit doesn't require ice to keep drinks cold. With a built in compressor, it'll turn water into slush on it's own. I speed this up by adding finely crushed up ice to the mix. This machine takes most of the issues out from making frosty drinks.

I've used this pretty much across the spectrum and this is the results:

Slushie: Best use. It took about 90 minutes from room temperature water with Mio mix and two table spoons of sugar. This turned out great. The drink stayed cold and frozen for a while.

Spiked Slush: 12 oz of vodka on a full tank. With this mixed with the same as above, the drinks turned out well but were a little more watery. I will need to try different mixtures to perfect this. Still turned out great though.

Ice cream: The first time I tried this, it turned out decent. I used milk, heavy cream, sugar, cocoa, brown sugar and salt. It's very creamy but still firm. The second time I made ice cream it wasn't as nice, and ended up melting faster than I could eat it. I will also have to work on perfecting this recipe.

Milkshake: Same ingredients as above with more milk and less heavy cream. Substitute cocao and brown sugar with vanilla extract for vanilla milk shakes.

I'm having a lot of fun playing with this machine and testing out different recipes. everyone loves this and it's been a huge hit at parties. It's almost never ready because people want things out of it constantly.

It's easy enough to clean. I insist on cleaning it right away. If you don't clean it right away it can be difficult to get any sticky residue out and there's leftover smells and tastes. Much easier to rinse or soak right away.

Amazing party machine.

I’ve been running this GARVEE Slushie Machine every day for over a week now, and honestly, I’m pretty wowed. I simply mix some ingredients, put the mixture in the machine and press a button... it churns out slushies, soft‑serve ice cream, milkshakes, and a whole buffet of frozen mixed drinks that actually taste fantastic! Every pour feels just right; the texture is consistently perfect, no matter what flavor I’m whipping up.The machine comes with a neat recipe book that shows some hand-picked drinks of many different types, but the real treasure was the internet. A quick search pulls up a ton of free recipes that fit this machine like a glove. The drink recipes I found online even include sugar‑free options that still taste amazing with perfect texture. Of course I’ve experimented and tweaked a few to my own taste, which is the best part: no need to buy pre‑made mixes or special proprietary ingredients. Just a recipe that I like, the ingredients, and the machine does the rest.Cleaning was my only hiccup. The manual simply mentions it has a rinse cycle. It did not really go into detail on how to use the rinse cycle or why I should use it. After my first frozen masterpiece... I, in one of my less than brilliant moments, thought I could just hand‑wash the container (I don't need a rinse cycle!). I removed the container without rinsing. OMG, I ended up making the biggest kitchen mess I’ve seen in years. I only had to make that mistake once. :-) Lesson learned: the rinse cycle is crucial. Just fill the container to the full line with cool tap water (DON'T use hot water), press the rinse cycle, wait for it to finish, use the dispenser lever to dispense the rinse water into cups until the machine is empty. Once drained, then and only then remove the container from the machine. Once I started doing this, cleaning became a breeze and not at all messy.What keeps me coming back? The convenience of making all my favorite frozen drinks from scratch. No ice to load, no pre‑made ice cream... just mix, add it into the machine, and let the machine do its magic. My wife, our grandkids, and I have all fallen in love with it. Since it arrived, our kitchen has been buzzing with frozen fun and smiles.Bottom line? I am very happy and I’m giving it a solid 5 stars. I highly recommend this for anyone who loves a fresh, no‑fuss frozen treat.

This slushie machine is undoubtedly the best appliance I've ever purchased. Its hassle-free design features a quiet high-performance compressor and cutting-edge flash-freezing technology. It effortlessly transforms juices, coffee, or wine into smooth slush instantly, without the need for pre-chilling or ice preparation. Just remember, do not add ice, solid ingredients, or hot liquids.

I absolutely love the user-friendly LED display that allows for intuitive and precise temperature adjustments. It boasts a large capacity that's perfect for family gatherings, a 12-hour advance timer, six one-touch pre-set programs, and precise temperature control. This machine is a game-changer for birthday parties or casual get-togethers. It’s an essential addition to any household and can create a wide variety of delicious drinks. I highly recommend it!
