At 11 a.m. ET on Nov. 15, Best Buy reintroduced the Ninja Slushi as part of its Best Buy Drop series (a section of the [Best Buy mobile app](https://zdcs.link/z7blr7) highlighting time-sensitive, high-demand products). By 11:03 a.m., the “inventory claimed” status had reached 100%, making it one of the quickest sellouts ever in Drop history.
Even though it was snatched up rapidly at Best Buy, the Ninja Slushi is still available at [Ninja’s website](https://zdcs.link/Qdd6Ov) and [Macy’s](https://zdcs.link/aXdgXy) as of Nov. 15.

### Why the Ninja Slushi is a Must-Have
Considering how swiftly the Slushi has been flying off the shelves since its launch in July, it’s probable that stock on both Ninja’s website and Macy’s will deplete quickly. If you’re thinking about making a purchase, act fast — you won’t regret it. As a regular Slushi user since summer, I can genuinely say it’s transformative. The capability to whip up slushies, frappés, milkshakes, and more at home whenever desired is a wonderful indulgence.
In an era where small pleasures are increasingly significant, the Ninja Slushi is the ideal companion. With shorter days and the chilly weather making going out less appealing, the Slushi lets you enjoy delightful beverages without leaving your home.
The Ninja Slushi is practically a “mini treat machine.” Its five functions — slush, spiked slush, frappé, milkshake, and frozen juice — present limitless options. You can create a frozen rendition of your morning orange juice, a refreshing protein drink after exercise, or even replicate a sophisticated vacation cocktail. Alternatively, you can simply pour in some soda and craft a Coke slushie. The Slushi requires about an hour to freeze liquids effectively, maintaining the frozen texture for several hours after.

### How the Ninja Slushi Functions
Indeed, you can pour soda, juice, or even wine straight into the Slushi without needing extra ingredients. However, the secret behind the Slushi’s magic is sugar. If you’re opting for a diet soda or a sugar-free drink, you’ll need to incorporate simple syrup or agave to achieve the slush texture. Although the Slushi doesn’t produce ice cream like the Ninja Creami, its milkshake setting gets quite close. Compared to the Creami, the Slushi is quieter and requires less preparation.
While I used my Slushi less frequently after summer, its use surged again as temperatures dropped and cozy drink recipes became popular. Recently, I whipped up frozen apple cider mimosas, and next on my list is a sugar cookie martini. For dessert-style recipes, the Ninja Creami is an excellent choice. It’s currently [on sale at Best Buy](https://zdcs.link/QKDAdj) for $219.99, compared to the Slushi’s $299.99 price point.

While the Ninja Slushi excels at crafting frozen drinks, the Ninja Creami is better equipped for creating frozen desserts. If you seek a more budget-friendly choice, the Creami is presently available at Best Buy for $219.99, reduced from $249.99, giving you a $30 saving.
