An interesting question,will take note of the answers for Summer!

Cool topic! Really interesting reading the comments to this!

My daughter has one of tho expensive machines and yes it works but it is a lot of messing around and it is noisy we have only used a couple of times. She was just recently give one of the Big W ones and it is excellent fast and nothing is needed except having it washed and kept in the freezer. She did struggle a little to squeeze it hard enough but as an adult helping it was made in on time at all.

i would just make them because it’s a novelty an i have never had a certain cup for it before

I have always believed they don’t work, but am torn when reading all these comments

We love our ones from Big W. They’ll be back in action come Spring

great feeback on this question will take it all onboard myself

We have an expensive slush maker in my opinion it’s a waste of money u would get the same result using a blender on the ice crush mode or buy those slushie cups from big w , we have used ours twice in two years

Looks like you have got some great feedback::)!

We had these years ago and they took forever to work!

They are all a waste of money & kids were disappointed as they never turned out like on TV

I’ve heard most of them are slow to make the slushie but I guess that keeps the kids busy for longer

then u should get the big W ones

yes they work great my partner mum has them

there are some good comments here

thanks for the feedback from everyone. i have been wondering the same thing so was great to get feedback from everyone.

the slushie machines seem quite cheap now – not sure about the cups as they seem to take a long time to use.

My grand kids got them for Christmas and they work really well.

They sound fun. Do you have to keep them in the freezer prior to use?

Reviews say this is tops. Enjoy what you get out of it and invest in something newer at the end of 2014.
