The Ninja Slushi is still sold out, but these 3 alternatives start at just $23

Ninja Slushi in use pouring and mixing.

An instant TikTok hit, it's no surprise that the Ninja Slushi sold out almost immediately after its release on July 11th. The innovative frozen drink maker uses a central auger to churn and freeze drinks without the use of ice, and it offers five settings depending on your drink of choice. Best of all, it can create frozen drinks that are ready to pour in as little as 15 minutes. 

Retailing for $299 at Ninja Kitchen, the Ninja Slushi is still unavailable, with many signing up to the waitlist as they eagerly await a restock. So if you're craving an ice-cold slushy, it could be some time before you manage to get your hands on this latest Ninja machine. 

We're currently testing the Slushi ahead of our full review, but in the meantime, these 3 frozen drink makers are available at Amazon right now, and can quench those ice-cold cravings in a cinch. Best of all, they start at just $23.

The Ninja Slushi offers five settings to make a huge range of frozen drinks:

  • Slush
  • Spiked Slush
  • Frappé 
  • Milkshake
  • Frozen Juice

Many frozen drink makers require you to place a freezing unit in your home freezer before use, which requires a lot of forward-planning and plenty of freezer space — something that's hard to find in most homes! The Slushi plugs straight in and immediately gets to work freezing its central auger using its WhisperChill compressor, which can create frozen drinks in as little as 15 minutes. 

TikTok users who have been lucky enough to get their hands on the Slushi have already started to share recipes and ASMR videos of the machine in action, with frozen soda being one of the easiest and most popular drinks.
