Ninja RapidChill Slushie Machine

Coming into this with no knowledge of thermodynamics and how liquids freeze it took a little bit of study to understand why slushies made by this machine need to have more then 4% sugar, or less than 9% alcohol. As long as you do your math right and get your proportions in order - this is a great little machine for the kitchen counter. Word of warning: The packaging is set up such that you cut the tape on the bottom and lift the box off the machine. When we were unpackaging it - we didn't know this and the lifted the box and the machine took a good 3 foot fall into a tile floor. Fortunately the machine worked after. Kudo's to Shark/Ninja for being a highly innovative company!
