Our whole family is enjoying it.Snow cones are a treat too in this summer heatI seriously debated whether or not I needed another kitchen appliance, especially when a blender could theoretically shave ice but I am so glad I bought this!!! It doesn't take up too much room and travels well enough to bring to various parties at friend's houses and it makes making drinks for a crowd SO EASY. The consistency is good with the standard pour but it's also very easy to add more shaved ice if you want something thicker. Tip - freeze/chill the alcohol because it does cause the ice to melt more quickly.Makes a good margarita! Easy to set up and use.First time use and a huge hit. Super easy to use and you can customize how you like your drinks as far as how slushy you like them. Loved how the drinks turned out and even made virgin slushie for the non drinkers. Very well built and easy to clean. Wasting away in Margaritaville, yeah buddy.im so wasted!!This is the best !! Use it on regular basis !! Definitely a great purchase !!Very good product. Much better than blendersI wish more Drinks Recipes were included with the MachinePurchased this gem during lockdown, really brought my drinking game to the next level, ever since I got this machine I’ve been able to drink so much more without having to puke due to being so hydrated from all water I was accidentally drinking with all the crushed ice mixed into my margaritas. I’ve sent the link to at least 5 or 6 people that ended up also purchasing this unit. If you ever are looking for a spokes person Look no further I’m your girl, You won’t regret buying this machine. The only thing I feel is missing from this machine is an option to hear Jimmy Buffett‘s Margaritaville song playing while the machine is blending your drink that would be a nice feature to add if you were thinking of ways to improve other than that it is an all-around wonderful machineMy life is forever changed after buying this!!! Kid slushies, iced coffee, margaritas, daiquiris, fresh berry smoothies and endless other opportunities! Only wish it came with the cover/carry case that my friends' has. Each batch makes 3 solo cups. Easy clean up and no gadgets and extra parts that you need to store.Just beware of not overloading it with ice or too big of ice blocks, it will jam. If the cover isn't securely in place it will not start. Made 38 batches the first day I received it .....let's just say this was worth every penny!AMAZING gift for your family members!I bought this as a shower gift for a friend . After only using 10 times it stopped working .She loved it until ...She had just made a batch and it started smoking and stopped working . I only gave it to her end of June . My return date was 1 month after I received it . I had it for 2 weeks prior to her shower party.Margy machine makes drinks quite well. Plastic jug not as heavy as the original glass one, but does the job. Crushes ice well. I have the original from a few years back and got this for a friend and they are happy with it. If doing lots of drinks make the mix ahead of time and buy lots of ice - you need it.Also, buy good tequila and Margy mix - it really makes a difference. Can’t get Margaritaville mix in Canada (it is the best ).Just received my Margaritaville Bahamas Frozen Concoction Maker, which was shipped within 1 day from Amazon. What a great product! Really does make a well blended, restaurant like slushy drink. Well done! I will be using this all the time! I have already made an ice cappuccino and an orange creamsicle. It is on the bigger side and has quite a few components to clean, but so worth it...Cheers!
