    The low sugar/high alcohol detection does not directly measure the liquid. What is does, is it’s measuring the temperature that the liquid is getting. If temp keeps decreasing but no slush is formed after a certain period of time it’s going to assume that your mixture either has low sugar or high alcohol. So it will take 30 minutes to tell because it’s time based

  • @J_Peace
    @J_Peace 3 месяца назад +10

    Just FYI, you can add allulose (sweetener) to zero/low sugar drinks to get it to slush. It makes the drinks a bit sweeter, but not dramatically.

    I bought one after being on the waiting list 4 times. I tried coke slushi, margarita, sneaky pete, whisky/coke, gatorade/vodka, shirley temple slushi, and chocolate mikeshake over labor day weekend party. It as great. We did experience the error of too much sugar, and too much alcohol. Everyone loved it and wanted one. The cost was the only negative, we wish $249.99. On the margarita we did not use the book recipe and just put in premix that already had alcohol in it. As expected, it had TOO much sugar we added just a little water and it froze up nicely. We also set the milkshake to the coldest setting which is very close to a Wendy's frosty, but just misses it due to it having to be extruded by design. The sneaky petes were the best ever due to the consistency of the product. If you are on the fence, DO IT! I am still amazed I can have slurpees at home anytime I wish. A total game changer. FYI there are syrups that do have the brix freezing that are Sugar Free, hit Amazon if you are diabetic like me.

    Nice video thanks. Some people have reported liquid getting stuck in the back of the machine that does not come out during the rinse cycle and that’s impossible to clean due to how it folds, leading to mold. Apparently it’s a design flaw. Has Ninja addressed this?

    Good idea for the person who has it all, but for me, it’s to big and bulky and seems to make only a few cups. What if the machine was running low, can we top it off with more ingredients to make more? Seems like it would throw the machine off

  • @timophay
    @timophay 3 месяца назад +3

    First of all thank you for this video and all videos you done. I didn't understand something. What the different between functions? All functions are rotating the auger and cooling the liquid. Instead rinse function that only rotating the auger. Is the different in temperature range or what? The speed of rotation looks same. I really don't like the control panel of this machine. Why Ninja couldn't use digital screen to show us the temperature? And why there only max and min lines and no more quantity indicators? I think that this machine could be better.

    • @TheAverageKitchen

    Nice review. I wouldnt be too upset about your unit because Ninja already has a "cheaper" Walmart unit out with a (supposedly) different and cheaper compressor that is louder. This may be one of the few cases where being an early adopter can lead to a win. Personally im waiting for reviews on the Walmart one as you can get 4 years of warranty for like $30 more from All State/Walmart and as you know Ninja machines are great but do break and this is a pricey machine even at $300 since as your buddy says it only makes slushii's haha

      Rinse cycle should be fine. Any tiny little bit of alcohol left would get very heavily diluted. May there be trace amounts of alcohol? Yes. But if you or your kids have ever eaten anything with vinegar in it, they will have probably consumed more alcohol than what is left in the device.

      It’s not a pop machine, it’s a slushy machine.

    Good idea for the person who has it all, but for me, it’s to big and bulky and seems to make only a few cups. What if the machine was running low, can we top it off with more ingredients to make more? Seems like it would throw the machine off

      You can totally top it up. I was making frozen margaritas last weekend doing that. Marc
