SAVE $150: As of June 23, the 88-ounce Ninja Slushi frozen drink maker is on sale for $199.99 at Amazon for Prime Day. That’s 43% off its usual $349.99 and its lowest sale price to date.
Even if you don’t religiously keep up with kitchen gadget releases like a shopping reporter does, you probably know about the Ninja Slushi. The viral frozen drink maker is coveted for its ability to chill liquid in less than an hour, without ice or pre-freezing the concoction. If the Slushi has never made it off your wishlist due to its price tag, its Prime Day price might change your mind: The Ninja Slushi is on sale for less than $200.
That $199.99 feels like a much more comfortable splurge than its usual $349.99 — in fact, this is the cheapest that we’ve ever seen the original Slushi (according to Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel). The $150 discount isn’t too far off from a full 50% price slash, making the Slushi one of our favorite Prime Day kitchen deals so far.

Am I also biased toward this deal because I have the Ninja Slushi and want everyone to experience this level of on-demand warm-weather serotonin? Sure. But I really think most people would get a lot of use out of the Slushi.

I can’t tell you how much I look forward to making my little frosés on an otherwise mundane night after work (plus, it’s cheaper and less sweaty than crowding onto a rooftop bar for happy hour). I’ve also used the Slushi’s milkshake setting to put a fun spin on chocolate or blueberry protein shakes. I even convinced my friend’s parents to get a Slushi, and their grandkids are obsessed with it.
If you were waiting for the new double-sided Ninja Slushi Twist to go on sale this Prime Day, it unfortunately hasn’t happened yet. But for hosting purposes, the regular Slushi is more than enough for a handful of people. Ninja says the 88-ounce capacity makes “7+” servings, but it always feels like much more than that.

Plus, the Slushi Twist isn’t nearly as compact as the original Slushi. As fun as it is to make two flavors at once, the $399.99 Ninja Slushi Twist probably isn’t necessary unless you’ll regularly be making drinks for a large group — and have unlimited counter space.
