Ninja Slushi Is Only $200: Early Amazon Prime Day 2026 Deals

Ninja Slushie it changed my whole summer last year. That was the first home filling machine to make soft drinks accessible to the American kitchen, backyard, and pool party. And so last year became the summer of daiquiris. (It was also the summer I was invited to children’s birthday parties, so I could make a non-alcoholic version of the slushie.)

Either way, Slushi offers something that feels very rare these days: entertainment for carefree adults. Fun is even more reckless when it’s cheap, and the $200 deal on the Ninja Slushi is the cheapest the machine has ever been — nearly 40 percent off last year’s retail price.

This, then, is the price I always expected Slushi to be. Little dreams sometimes come true, I guess.

But in some ways, I’m not surprised that the price has gone down. Ninja has come out with two new, simpler, and better machines. The Ninja Slushie XL ($350) which arrived this spring offers a large capacity—96 ounces, compared to 64 ounces of the OG slushie—and freezes quickly and cool. Shiny Ninja Slushie Twist ($400) it also has a very powerful compressor that allows you to freeze a drink in 10 minutes, and it is divided into two containers that allow you to drink one prepared drink and mix another.

I will be writing about the benefits of each of these soon. Indeed, it is an improvement on the original and allows for more drinks than the original Slushi. But neither is it for sale. And the original was already a great machine. Among the piles of quick knock-offs, the Slushis remained mine favorite home slushie machine until the two new Ninjas arrived.

Slushies will still make better blended margaritas and less water than a blender, not to mention a Dole Whip or Orange Julius knockoff. A full 64-ounce container will only take 20 minutes or so to dry, as long as you keep the beer refrigerated like a civilized person. And Lord, this tree is good.

In fact, this Ninja Slushi collaboration is so good that it makes me believe that a next-generation Slushi might be in the works. You don’t have to wait unless you’re serious about making high-ABV slushies or massive milkshakes. (Milkshakes are the weak link in this category.)
