The Ninja Slushi is as epic as you think it will be

I unboxed the Ninja Slushi over the weekend and enjoyed some sweet, frozen soft drinks. But storing the appliance between uses may be a problem.

50,000 people across Australia and New Zealand signed up to be notified when Ninja launched its Slushi appliance down here. 50,000!

Having unboxed the thing this weekend for my review, I can see why. It promises not only slushies, but frozen cocktails, frappés, milkshakes and frozen juices in under an hour or so, with minimal effort.

My first frozen beverage, shown in the unboxing video above, was delicious and simple. My kids are now talking about how they wish they could have a "portable" Slushi for school so they can enjoy frozen drinks anywhere.
