Ninja has officially taken its viral frozen drink maker to the next level with the debut of its new SLUSHi Max Smart Frozen Drink Maker, a 150-ounce upgrade that’s double the size of the original. Designed for parties and large gatherings, the new SLUSHi Max doesn’t just look sleeker, it’s faster, smarter and capable of transforming nearly any liquid, including higher-ABV beverages, into a perfectly blended slush. Retailing for $499.99, the sleek, upgraded SLUSHi MAX features several new innovations, including Ninja’s SlushAssist Technology, which automatically senses ingredients and adjusts temperature for ideal consistency every time. With a massive 150-ounce capacity, it can make more than 12 drinks in a single batch, making it one of the most powerful frozen drink makers Ninja has ever released. RELATED: Amazon’s Ninja SLUSHi dupe is on sale for for a limited time The SLUSHi Max is also equipped with six programs, including spiked and spiked max, allowing you to customize the texture and temperature for everything from sodas and frappes to margaritas, milkshakes and higher-ABV cocktail recipes. Its new RapidChill Pro Technology reaches extra-cold temps faster than before, while the manual mode gives you full control to adjust slush texture from thick to thin. Other thoughtful upgrades include dishwasher-safe parts and a built-in Rinse Cycle for hassle-free cleanup, ideal for back-to-back drink rounds during parties. Available in three stylish color combinations, Lemon & Mint, Blue & Peach and Orange & Blue, the SLUSHi Max doubles both the capacity and fun of Ninja’s previous 72- and 88-ounce models while maintaining the same high-end design and functionality fans love. Compared to the smaller versions (one of which is currently on sale at Walmart) the new SLUSHi Max delivers a true next-gen experience. The 72-ounce and 88-ounce models are great for families or small get-togethers, but this new release is made for entertaining on a larger scale. With twice the capacity, 2x faster cooling and smart auto-sensing features, it’s clear Ninja’s newest launch isn’t just an upgrade, it’s the ultimate frozen drink machine for serious hosts and slush lovers alike.
