Zoku Coca-Cola Slash Shake Maker Frozen Maker

I’m a big fan of slushies, especially cola flavoured ones- but they aren’t so common these days. Was curious when I saw this... thought it may be worth a go. Chose the Coke branded one as I liked the look for a few extra quid. It arrived yesterday- I read the instructions, washed dried and put in freezer at 1500. It’s recommended to have it in the freezer 8-18hrs. I couldn’t wait- thought I’d give it ago 6hrs later. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it did (I did pop a couple of ice cubes in the drink as I thought it may help- took them out half way through the process). What resulted was a refreshing cold and soft slush! (That the Mrs tried to nick off me!) You should’ve seen the smile on my face! Im guessing it would work faster if I had kept it in freezer for the recommended time. Washed/ dried and back in the freezer ready for tomorrow afternoon! A bit pricey for what it is- but I’m going to make sure I get good use from this! I’m looking forward to experimenting and trying different recipes.

Late 80s I had some slush makers that you froze in freezer and took out to pour sugary drink in and scrap sides with a spoon to create the slush. Back then as now, the process is faster by putting the freezer tube back in freezer with drink in it, then take out and scrape sides every 30 seconds so you have a Slushie in 5 minutes or less. Fast forward to today with this slush maker, the same is true, the size is about the same as then (fits about 2/3 to 3/4 of a 12ounce can of soda in it). But one thing is different, this one came with a slush scraper tool that works really good in both directions you can use it and great stirring the entire sides and round inside bottom. So you can scrape all sides completely and very quickly to make your Slushie the fastest you possibly can. And when your drink ices up a bit more than you meant to let it, the tool is very good at scraping it down till side is clean, or using more pressure with tool front against the side to slam the curved edge of scoop against that thicker ice to dislodge it. Now if you leave it till its fairly solid ice then you will have to wait for it to melt or use a real spoon to slowly scrape the ice off so you don't stress the edges of the given scoop scraper too much (I've put it through its paces with over 20 slushies now (refreezing between each) and it's still working great and the scraper edges still shaped perfect without any wear on it (still smooth). This is the best Slushie maker out of the 2 kinds I bought. Both worked. But I prefer the design of this one (thick freeze walls means its cold enough to make a slushie in 4-6 hours of freezing the freezer cup so far as I have seen it work and this one slushies up much faster; it has a rounded bottom so its much easier to scrape the bottom clear of all ice with the awesome scraper tool or regular spoon). (The other Slushie maker was the Slushie Puppy one, it could hold a tiny bit more liquid..few tablespoons worth, but was designed with thinner walls and flat bottom; which means the slush maker needs more freeze time to work at all and takes 10-15 min to fully slush up unlike this one which is fully slushed up in 5 min or less; plus it gave a scraper with a straw attached which means it takes longer to clean even if only used for the scraper...plus if left in drink at beginning of it slushing up sometimes the drink will be pushed up and out of straw if left alone in the drink...so many reasons I prefer this cola one's plain scraper tool that's also more sturdy to scrape the ice from sides). In total this Slushie maker deserves 6 stars!! Its fast, easy to use, and comfortable to use, plus faster to clean (the inside width is perfect sides to use the kitchen brush cleaner stick wands for a few seconds to fully clean inside fast). If the scraper tool left in drink as it slushies up it hasn't caused any problems at all. The other Slushie maker I tried (slush puppy one) was ok deserving 3-4 stars at least since it does work, but it takes longer to get cold enough, takes longer to make the drink a slushie, takes longer to clean, can be messy with straw, straw tool not comfortable in the hand to use, and lastly the angle of the straw scraper can be awkward to use and harder for younger kids to use correctly.

This is probably the first slushy maker we've bought that works. Looks great and although doesn't fit a full can of pop, it kept my slushy obsessed daughter very happy. Feels durable but will have to be careful of dropping... But you could say that about a lot of things. Would buy again. Update: Make sure that the drink you are using has been refrigerated too and has sugar in it (apple juice works great) - diet cola didn't work but full sugar version did - think was something to do with aspartame not freezing the same

This works exactly as described. There must be over 4% sugar, and just scrape the sides every 1 to 1.5 minutes with the provided spoon. About 10 minutes later, you'll have a slushie. After about 2 weeks, my son is still very enthusiastic, and trying new flavour combos. What I also like is that this slushie maker limits his sugar intake to one 8fl oz drink per day (small, but enough when frozen). After use, it is easy to clean and pop back in the freezer - to be ready for use again the next day.

Tienes que dejarlo en el congelador muchas horas para que funcione... y si queda muy bien
