With the holiday party season right around the corner, it's time to start planning for a disaster no soiree should have to shoulder: running out of frozen drinks halfway through the gathering. The Ninja SLUSHI Max solves that — this XXL machine holds 150 ounces, which is enough for roughly 20 servings, and maintains perfect slushy consistency for up to 12 hours without requiring ice. Unlike blenders that turn drinks into inconsistent mush or require constant babysitting, the SLUSHI Max uses smart SlushAssist technology to monitor and adjust texture automatically. Pour in your ingredients, select one of six programs (margaritas, piña coladas, frozen lemonade, mocktails and more) and the machine handles everything from freezing to maintaining that ideal slushy texture.

The party-sized capacity means you're not frantically making batch after batch while guests wait with empty glasses. The 150-ounce reservoir accommodates multiple refills before needing a remix, and the 12-hour hold time means you can prep drinks before guests arrive rather than playing bartender all night. It also has preset programs calibrated for specific drink types, eliminating the guesswork of "is this frozen enough?"
In this article: Ninja SLUSHi Max, Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker and Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Ice Cream and Soft Serve Maker
For hosts who throw regular gatherings or families who consume frozen drinks frequently, the SLUSHI Max's capacity and convenience justify the counter space and investment. But Ninja has other appliances to offer in the frozen treat category. Shop them below, just in time for party season.
Ninja SLUSHi with RapidChill Technology, 88 oz.
The standard SLUSHI model holds 88 ounces — roughly half the Max's capacity — which can easily serve smaller gatherings or families. RapidChill technology freezes drinks in about 15 minutes without ice. Five preset programs handle margaritas, frappés, slushies, frozen cocktails and more.
Ninja SLUSHi with RapidChill Technology, 96 oz.
If you want all the SLUSHi features with a little bit more capacity but a smaller footprint than the Max, this 96-ounce model may be just right for you. It includes five presets for one-touch frozen treats and all the other features that come with the standard SLUSHi.
