Nostalgia Coca-Cola Frozen Drink Maker and Margarita Machine for Home - 40-Ounce Slushy Maker with Stainless Steel Flow Spout - Easy to Clean and Double Insulated - Red

So far so good!! We've used the machine twice and it worked as described (maybe better). Enjoyed the margaritas. When we removed from the box we thought the stir paddle was missing. However, upon looking further at the styrofoam packing, the paddle was in a slot on the back of the styrofoam. This weekend plan to try it for making milkshakes. Purchased the green option....looks very nostalgic. Also, easy to clean. Overall happy with purchase and would recommend.

This only makes snocone style ice, regardless of setting. It also has such a small hopper that it takes four fillings to make one serving. You have to hold the lid in place for it to work and it jerks out of your hand half the time. It sounds like it's breaking the entire time it's running. Right now mine is full of 1/4 chopped ice because it won't feed the rest of it through the blades. And worse still, it jammed and the lid is currently stuck, so now I have to wait for the ice to melt. I'm definitely sending this back.

Fun for kids

Very nice device.easy to use. Does what it says it will do. I deducted a star for a few but minor reasons which are loudness, speed and need to use unfused ice. For the price it is an excellent machine. it is a bit loud compared to other brands, but it is a lot more user friendly. The only big issue is that you have to make sure the ice you put in has not fused. Say for example you got some ice from you local hardware shop and put it back in the fridge, sometimes ice cubes will fuse and if you dont notice it and put it in the ice machine it jam. also the amount of ice you can put in at a given time is very limited. Which means you have to stay by the machine to add more ice for a single serving. Again there are a few things this machine lacks compared to other brands but for the occasional user and price this is an excellent device. If you are looking to use it at a bar, it is not good. For the occasional drink it is excellent. Do i recommend this yes for the price it is excellent.

Well made and fun to use

I was so excited to get this margarita machine just to be disappointed by it. It definitely could be better. It would take 20 minutes to make a pitcher of margaritas. Just not efficient enough to make the proper pitcher. You end up with a slightly chilled margarita with small ice chips.👎

Final Update:Mixing paddle arrived today. Product works great with the mixing paddle! 5 stars. :)Update: I called their support line and they are shipping a new paddle for the device. Once that arrives I'll update again, but their support was very prompt and concerned about the issue. If you don't get your mixing paddle in the box, call their support line and they will send one to you at no cost. Excellent customer service with no hassles. Will update again in a few days once I receive it and can use the product. Keeping the product instead of returning it. :)Original:I opened the box expecting to be able to use the product. Without the stirring module inside the bowl, the device won't mix and that's it's only purpose other than shaving ice. They're sold out of the stirring modules on their website so I can't even buy a replacement. Extremely disappointed and sending it back to Amazon.

First I ordered this in a cream color, and it never came. It still hasn’t come. I received an update that more then likely this had been lost in the mail. It’s been over three weeks. So I ordered another one but in black. I was so wanting this to be what I imagined and what it showed in the pictures but it’s not. At best it’s CRUSHED ice, and there is not real different between the two settings. (Shaved and slushy) and no way can you use a straw, which is what I wanted for my kiddos and their friends (8-12yrs)I’ve decided to keep it, as it’s good for crushed ice and, as I’m also getting charged for the one I never even saw, it’s better then non stop all. . I tried contacting Amazon and the company but nothing back except that I’m responsible for the one that was “lost in the mail”I heard good things about this company so I’m sorry I got the crap end here and I’m sure this doesn’t happen all the time- but I’m totally annoyed and disappointed I have ti pay for two, only get one, and I don’t even like it. I wanted it for the “slushy” part and it is definitely NOT a slushy consistency!I hope others have better luck and don’t get over charged for something they never even saw!
