I’ve tried the Ninja Slushi and this cheaper alternative

Let me let you know, there has by no means been a greater summer season to be testing out a frozen drinks maker at house. I have been in a position to flip any event into one thing a bit sweeter with the Ninja Slushi, which is a lot costly for £349.99 by way of Ninja, but in addition a really enjoyable addition to my kitchen, as per my first attempt of it.

In case you love the idea of a frozen drinks maker however would somewhat go for one thing a bit cheaper, then I have been testing a extra inexpensive various to see the way it measures up. The INOVIVIA 2.6L Slush Machine is presently on sale for £299.99 on Amazon and presently has a 4.7 star ranking out of 5 from the present consumer opinions.

This is how I believed it measured up after I put it facet by facet with the Slushi.

My first impressions of the Inoviva machine have been constructive – although it has a bigger capability to the Ninja, it is about the identical dimension on my kitchen worktop.

It additionally comes with the identical useful supplies because the Slushi together with a recipe booklet filled with recipes for frozen drinks. Just like the Slushi it additionally comes coated in easy-to-peel off stickers which direct you the way to set it up and first use it. Useful for getting your first slush good.

Facet-by-side, you’ll be able to see there’s not a lot in it in the case of the design of those machines. Aside from the sq. particulars of the Inoviva somewhat than the curves of the Slushi, they’re virtually similar.

Issues that mark this machine as totally different from the Slushi embrace the kid lock button and the contact display screen over easy buttons on the Ninja. There have been additionally extra servings accessible from one combine, which is due to the elevated capability.

I started making an attempt the Inoviva utilizing a recipe from the guidebook, a raspberry lemonade. All it takes to function certainly one of these machines is to put the liquids inside and choose your program – this time a ‘Slushie’ for me.

Picture 1 of three

Testing the Inoviva Slushie machine for the primary time at house.

In simply half an hour, my first frozen drink was prepared with the machine beeping to let me understand it was able to dispense. The recipe was a winner and the consequence was good for a baking summer season’s day.

So far as capability is anxious, I undoubtedly obtained extra out of the Inoviva than the Slushi and saved the machine working by the day, returning for prime ups for my family.

I am not likely a fan of the childlock function, which suggests it’s a must to unlock the machine each time you wish to use it, however for sure households this may probably be a profit as a substitute.

I additionally choose the look of the Slushi, in addition to the controls. Total, although the distinction between these merchandise feels negligible and it is unlikely that both would dwell on a kitchen worktop full-time – most definitely it’s going to be relegated to storage till it’s worthwhile to use it.

My largest takeaway from testing each slushie machines is how a lot use I’ve really obtained out of it. At first I used to be satisfied an at-home frozen drinks maker was a gimmick that might by no means make it out of storage, however I’ve used it not less than as soon as every week for a very good few months now. It is nice worth when internet hosting too.

Whether or not you go for the Ninja Slushi or the Inoviva Slushie (!), I feel that is (surprisingly) an equipment that has plenty of use in it. May you be tempted to select one up to your kitchen?
