Sure, summer might be on its way out, but for us, the frozen drink season lasts the whole year round — which is why we have our eyes on this Ninja Slushi machine deal over at Walmart. Right now you can save $51 on Ninja’s frozen drink maker, which can whip up everything from milkshakes to margaritas, plus more treats that taste fantastic even in the colder weather.

First-Time Deal

The often sold-out Ninja Slushi can transform soda, juice and more into a delicious frozen beverage, thanks to Ninja’s RapidChill Technology. Now it's on sale for the first time.

Frankly, the magical part of this machine is that it can turn sodas, juices, booze and more into frozen drinks without requiring any ice (or blades, for that matter). Our reviewer turned out delicious virgin daiquiris, coffee frappes, milkshakes and even a kombucha slushy without the effort she’d normally go to with a blender, ice and hand-wash-only blades (the parts on this one are dishwasher-safe). Most drinks take between 15 and 60 minutes to create. So, while a little foresight is required, once you pour the liquid into the machine, the process is basically hands-off.

Plus, since there’s no ice involved, meaning anything you put in will come out full flavored, sans dilution. You can also opt to make drinks thinner or thicker, depending on preference. The one thing is that drinks need to contain sugar (at least 4%) for the machine to work properly. (Making a Diet Coke slushie just isn’t going to fly with this one.)

Just like all the other price cuts we share, this offer was found by our team of deals editors led by Rikka Altland. She and the rest of our editors spend their day combing the web for the best discounts on our favorite gear and gadgets.

You can shop the Ninja Slushi while it’s still on sale over at Walmart. Just be sure to act fast, as this end-of-summer discount might not be around much longer!
