Ninja Slushi Twist offered relief during NYC heat wave
New York City's July heat wave prompted cravings for cold drinks. The Ninja Slushi Twist's dual-container design allows for simultaneous preparation of two different frozen beverages.

Last weekend's intense heat wave in New York City saw many seeking relief with cold beverages. SharkNinja's new Ninja Slushi Twist offers a home solution for preparing frozen drinks, accommodating two distinct flavors at once.
The latest model builds on the success of the original Slushi machine, introducing a significant upgrade: two independent 48-ounce containers. This enables the simultaneous creation of two entirely different drinks, such as classic slushies, frappés, milkshakes, or frozen coffee beverages. The separate containers also allow for mixing alcoholic and non-alcoholic options for the same gathering.
Ninja dubs its technology "Dual SlushAssist," which automatically adjusts the freezing temperature for each container based on its contents. This ensures a creamy milkshake remains smooth while a refreshing fruit slush freezes to the ideal icy consistency. The machine's "twist dispenser" allows for separate pouring or mingling the two flavors into a single, layered drink.
Cleaning the appliance is simplified with a rinse button. However, the Ninja Slushi Twist is larger than its predecessor, and its $399.99 price point represents a considerable investment. It is best suited for larger households or frequent entertainers, with its dual-container design making a strong case for summer refreshment needs.
