Yesterday we saw a restock of Ninja's slushy machine, which is once again sold out at Ninja Kitchen, but we found it in stock at Walmart at a $50 discount

The slushy maker quickly sold out after it went on sale in July, prompting shoppers to sign up for restock alerts to get the brand's latest kitchen essentials And while we were pleased to discover the restock at Ninja yesterday, this is the first time we've seen Ninja Slushie on sale at Walmart Given how quickly Ninja's restocked items sell out, this sale won't last long

We put the slushie maker to the test in our Ninja Slush review, and made a pitcherful of frozen margaritas in less than 30 minutes, and they stayed deliciously strong, pour after pour, because there was no ice to dilute the drink At $299, it's not cheap, so a $50 A $50 discount would be very welcome

The Ninja Slushy uses a self-cooling auger in the center to transform any drink into a slushy without adding ice or requiring a freezer We searched online for alternatives to Ninja Creamy, but found that the only truly comparable product is Ninja Creamy Deluxe, which comes with a slushy setting However, the slushy drinks made with the Creamy need to be pre-frozen, so it is not suitable for entertaining or spur-of-the-moment summer drinks

When we tested it, our main concern was that this is another appliance that takes up a lot of space on your kitchen counter It has five settings: slush, spike slush (for alcoholic beverages), frappe, milkshake, and frozen juice, and claims to keep drinks cold for up to 12 hours

Frozen drink season is over, but it's worth getting a Ninja Slush while you can It would make a great gift for frozen drink lovers as the holiday season approaches, and I plan to use it a lot for seasonal entertaining when the weather gets a little colder
