Retro styled

Very retro!

When it comes to refreshing drinks on a hot day, nothing beats an ice-sold slushie. This tongue-tingling blend of crushed ice and sweet juice has been a family favourite for decades. So you can imagine the giddy squeals, pushing, shoving, name-calling and rampant queue-jumping at the Firebox Diner when we took delivery of the Vintage Slushie Maker, in all its retro glory.

Styled like it’s straight out of the Cunningham's kitchen, this classic-looking machine will let you churn out fruity slushies, iced coffees, or chilled cocktails to your heart’s content. Happy days!

Add table salt...

some ice...

and your sugary tipple!

As its name suggests this ingenious table-top contraption allows you to make slushies in the comfort of your own home. And if you’re a slushie fan it’ll pay for itself in no time. Using the mains-powered Slushie Maker is a doddle. Simply load the drum with ice, ordinary table salt (don’t worry, you can’t taste it) and your juice of choice, and watch in wonder as it churns out a seriously cool slushie.

As well as fruity slushees the Slushie Maker makes a mean frozen margarita. In fact you can make all kinds of frozen cocktails, daiquiris, martinis, cosmopolitans – the possibilities are endless. You can even experiment with coffee and tea. And watching the churning process through the clear drum is almost as entertaining as gulping down your slushie.

Whatever concoction you decide to make, the Slushie Maker is certain to add an exotic, icy touch to any soiree. And if you’re worried that this idiot-proof device might end up gathering dust alongside your fondue set and sandwich toaster, don’t be, because once you sample a Slushie Maker slushie you’ll be hooked. Anyone for an Abominable Snowman?

Product Features:
  • Use crushed ice or small ice cubes from your freezer to make delicious slushie drinks
    1. Add ice cubes and salt to the sealed centre chamber
    2. Add a sugary based liquid to the outside camber
    3. Turn the machine on and within 25 minutes the drink will turn to slush!
  • Easy to use
  • Includes recipe suggestions
  • Handy drinks holder and drip tray
  • Makes up to 2 litres of slushie
  • Retro 50's diner styling
  • Mains powered
Please Note:
  • If making alcoholic drinks you will need to add the alcohol once you've poured out the slushie mixer, as alcohol doesn't freeze at temperatures the Slushie Maker produces
  • Keep out of reach of children
  • Read instructions carefully before operation
  • Hand wash only
  • Wash thoroughly after each use and do not let sit with any left over salt or liquid
Helpful Tips:
  • Drinks with a high sugar or corn syrup base will crystallise faster and produce a thicker slush than those with milk or lower sugar content. Carbonated drinks will set up slower and will not be as thick
  • We recommend adding pre-chilled liquid to your Slushie Maker: this will quicken the slush making process.
  • Carbonated diet drinks will not slush
  • Do not use stiff mixtures such as whipped cream or frozen liquids
  • Do not operate the unit longer than required. If after 40 minutes the mixture is not yet achieved the slushie consistency or has thawed again, do not continue

visitor avatar Do you still this product?
Morgan, UK - 28th January 2012
Firebox says: Unfortunately not, but search slushy on our search bar and you may find an similar one!
visitor avatar Can you use protein or powdered diet drinks in this? If making a coffee slush would you have to add sugar to make it slush as you mention sugar content is key.... ?
CC, London - 16th November 2011
Firebox says: You can add powders, I would defiantly avoid the powders that bulk up as it may overflow. As for coffee drinks, yes, add as much or little sugar as you like!
visitor avatar How heavy is this item ?
Abigail Graham, Uk - 20th October 2011
Firebox says: Hi Abigail. The Vintage Slushie Maker is approximately 2.73kg's
visitor avatar I was wondering, What are the best sites to order slushie syrup?
Raphaël Chenais, London - 4th October 2011
Firebox says: Hey Raphael, there is no best site to buy slushie syrup from per se, though www.slush-syrup.co.uk and www.slushdirect.co.uk have plenty to offer. Remember that you don't have to specifically use slushie syrup, any drink with a high sugar or corn syrup base will do. It will also mean you don't have to buy mammoth quantities that may never be consumed!
visitor avatar I want to buy this machine, was just wondering how long does the slush stay cold for after using the machine and there is still some slush left??
Kim, UK - 11th August 2011
Firebox says: It won't stay cold too long in the machine itself, you'd be better off taking it out and putting it in the fridge.
visitor avatar How many litres of slush can you make at a time?
Steve, Ireland - 18th July 2011
Firebox says: Up to 2 litres at a time Steve.
