Spring is fast approaching and what better way to
celebrate it’s impending arrival and hopefully the end to the winter weather
than with a Chillfactor Slushy Maker...
Slushy makers are not a new thing in out home as we had purchased some a couple of years
ago and the kids loved them, especially during warmer days. Granted they don’t
get as much use over the colder months so when we decided to get them out of the
cupboard ready for use we found that the inside of the mug (the part that
freezes) had gone all funny and had to be thrown out. This was disappointing but
in researching replacements we found out about the new and improved range from
Chillfactor and jumped at the chance to try one out. Would the cool new design
improve on the previous model or would it be a case of ice idea but another
frosty reception!
When you first open the box the new model looks quite
similar to the ones we had owned previously although this time they come in some
great new and very vibrant colours. My kids
love anything from ice-cream to ice-lollies and Slushy’s are a firm favourite
too so making them in the comfort of our home is not just cheaper but quite
possibly also a whole lot healthier given that you have control over what you
are using to make the drinks and can afford extra colourings and sugar laden
mixtures.
How it
works
Prior to
your first use make sure the Slushy Maker is
washed out with warm soapy water and then place the special magic freezer part
into a freezer for about 4 -6 hours.
Once this is sufficiently frozen you are ready to make
your Slushy. First place the frozen part back into your cup and then attach the
lid sections. Next you can proceed to adding your drink of choice to make your
very own slush. Within a matter of mere minutes your chosen drink becomes a
slushy just like magic... It really is as simple as that. No scrapping, no
stirring, just a perfect slushy!
Conclusion
Whilst on the whole the new Chillfactor Slushy Maker
works in the same way as previous versions, the new improved colours are fun and
the easy locking lid a big improvement. I guess only time will tell if they last a lot longer but frequent use would
certainly avoid any problems with storage although I am confident that
Chillfactor’s improved design goes beyond the cosmetic. Highly recommended for
children (and adults) of all ages!
