Does it really make a slushy????

Sometimes.... But if and when it did it took ALOT of shaking.... The few times I got it to work I used a freezer cup (the ones with the gel inside that you freeze) and the ice cubes from slushy magic...

I didn't have much luck with mine - it made more of a cucumber slush than slices. I ended up returning it and getting a food processor, which handles that and everything else much nicer.

no! it doesn't really work. save your money. a blender that crushes ice will work much better.

Generally and 90% of the time the answer is yes. If you have ice with cold liquid in it for an extended time it will if you bring it into extremely muggy or hot weather. Otherwise it will never sweat or spill.

Diet drinks will just turn to ice, so if you use fake sugar type sweeteners the same thing might happen. I use cold coffee, milk, chocolate syrup and sometimes a dash of Bailey's Irish Cream. As long as everything that you put in is cold it shouldn't take too long to become slush. Don't leave the spoon inside the mug while waiting for it to work, takes much longer.

OMG this will take the washed fruit plus ice cubes and make it into the best slushie you have ever had...this is a blender that has a jet engine, basically.

It blends but it doesn't freeze or crush ice to the level it would taste like ice cream to me. They say it does, but it leaves tiny ice particles when blended and frozen.

Absolutely not! Every day I say "I hate this thing!"! It groans and moans loudly, the ice dropping into the tray is very loud, and it has never dispensed cubes through the door. It always crushes the ice so it takes forever to get a glass full and it's loud for a long time while it grinds. My husband wears hearing aids and the crushing noise drives him up the wall with his aids in and he says he's going to get rid of it while I'm not home because he hates it too. Since it crushes ice no matter what you ask for, it makes a mess all over the floor then the little pieces of ice that don't come out when you stop melt and drip all down the front. The stainless is IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean, it always has fingerprints, smears, dust, and water trails all over it and it's just my husband and I, no kids. And did I say it's LOUD?!

Honestly I'm not sure. I live in vegas so haven't had that experience with ice here. But im sure it will just make it softer which might help

Yes. The texture of the ice can vary depending on how long you blend the shaved ice. If you like slushie ice, this machine will deliver.

Yes, if it got cold it will be rock hard. Just put it in warm water and it becomes clear and liquid. Good luck, it will turn out just fine.

Yes it does. Mix it with cold water and add powder and keep shaking it over a few hour period. It will mix completely over that time. Good luck!

It's not the machine. The machine does one thing and it does it well. What you do with the ice after is on you. If you're returning the item, I doubt you're looking for advice. The only reason why the ice is clumping is due to the outside air temperature, humidity and the temperature of the syrup. Try adjusting one of those three pieces.

i cant answer about melting ice that is already existing, but i believe it probably would, i have sprayed my very steep driveway many times ahead of heavy frost conditions and i am very impressed by how it keeps frost away for several days every time i spray. hope this helps in your decision.

Yes but the carbonation dies out. I don't recommend this though for little ones. I have a 9 yr old and a 6 yr old. I ended up tossing this after two trys and going with the chill factor cup. The slushy magic needs to be shaken and it goes literally everywhere. The chill factor just needs to be squeezed. I hope this helps!:)

The main ingredient which gives the "thickness" or slushiness to the product is frozen bananas. The only substitution mentioned is frozen cubes of greek yogurt. I don't know that frozen diet soda cubes would lend any body or texture to the mix. You can certainly try it, though. :)

Yes, but it only makes a very small amount of slushy, and the cubes can leak easily. I would invest in a Slush Mug instead. I have this and the slush Mug and I like the slush mug better. :)
