Toys and Games Reviews of Slushee Maker
Customer Review: Well, it does actually work
Summary: 3 Stars
It works, but the 4-6 minutes you need to stir it can tire you out... It's fun for the kids to get a slushee, not so much fun as an adult to make them :) It is neat, but here are two things I would recommend to SpinMaster:1 - needs to be bigger, only makes 2 tiny cups at one time
2 - offer a motorized attachment :)
3 - call the auger "the spinny thing" - I didn't know what an auger was :)
3 stars for fun - fun for the kids but too much work for little results
3 stars for educational - really, its not education but you do do a little chemistry to get the slushee frozen
4 stars for durability - after cranking this (...) all the time, it stays together.
Customer Review: Use your blender
Summary: 1 Stars
One star for fun since "zero" was not an option. One star for educational value since my 9 year old learned what the definition of "misrepresentation" is - she is now wary of the garbage quotient found within certain products. On a positive note, my deltoids and forearms got a bit of a handle rotation workout for 15 minutes before I gave up. Based on the reviews of most of their products compared to the claims in their instructions and advertising, I find their name (SpinMaster) quite appropriate. Save the money, time, and aggravation - return to your blender. Kids like buttons anyway and they can learn "grate", "blend", "chop", etc....Customer Review: Not worth it
Summary: 1 Stars
My son got this for Christmas and it is horrible! The directions say that it takes 4-6 minutes to crank to make the icee but it took us 20 minutes to get juice with a little ice in it. My son got fed up and went to the other room before we finished. The ice melted before we were finished so we had to refill the ice, when we had enough and took it apart, the whole top (blue piece) was all scraped up. It took my brother to hold it down while I cranked it (not easy for a little kid to do). Overall, it was a waste of money by the time you set it up, cranked it and didn't even get an icee from it. I am returning it tomorrow!Customer Review: IT DOESN'T WORK! - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the Slushee Maker for son for the holidays. My wife and I felt as if we were having a work out trying to get this contraption to make a shlushee. We followed the directions specifically and all we wound up with was COLD FLAT SODA! this was after many many minutes of turning the handle over and over again while my wife held the machine down with all of her might. It doesn't work and I cannot believe a product can be sold for [$$$] which doesn't not work at all. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Now it is washed and sits in my son's closet serving absolutely no purpose what so ever. It's as if we threw our money away.Customer Review: Spend the extra $10 and buy a manual ice cream maker
Summary: 2 Stars
This is just a small version of an 1800s ice cream maker including dangerously cold metal parts. Modern manual ice cream makers sell for around $30 and they do not have this problem. All of the complaints of this product do not exist with a regular ice cream maker. Furthermore, you can actually make ice cream with an ice cream maker, as well as slushies. I brought this for myself (pregnant woman with food allergies), but after reading the instructions I do not even feel comfortable using this "toy". As for the education value of salt water, you can accomplish that with a glass of ice water and salt.
