Welcome to Wishlist After Dark, folks, because I've got a slush machine for your kitchen counter and I can barely sit still! With me, Penny Pickwell, who reads every review so you don't have to. And Sunny, the happiest dog in show business! A slush machine. And Marty. Somebody hide the sugar. Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be here, and frozen drinks are my favorite thing ever! Okay, it's the Ninja SLUSHi Frozen Drink Maker, from Ninja.

The perfect gift for families who'd love slushies and milkshakes at home! And it's not just slushies, Marty! It does frappés, milkshakes and frozen juice too! Hold on, milkshakes too? Sunny, how many settings are we talking? Five presets, Marty! Here's the list. Pour your drink in, pick one, and it turns it into a slush. Then you pull the handle and out it comes! Folks, look at that orange slush pouring into the glass!

Ooh, my favorite part? You can adjust the texture and the temperature. So it's thicker for one kid and icier for the other! Okay, Sunny, I love it too. But look at that bowl. This is a real appliance, not a junk drawer gadget. Buyers put it plainly. Make sure there's a spot for it on the counter or in the cupboard. So measure first, folks! Penny, is that the only catch? It's the one buyers mention.

And a nice nod: it's one of N B C Select's best gifts on Amazon this holiday season. Can you picture opening that box? The whole family lining up with their cups for the very first slush! I can, Sunny, and I'm first in line! I'm giving it an eight point seven. Five drinks from one machine! I'm at eight point three, because everybody gets their drink just the way they like it. And I'm the strict one, seven point six, because it needs counter space.

That's an After Dark Score of eight point two out of ten, number eight of the twenty-four kitchen gifts we've ranked. It's a buy for slushie-loving families with room on the counter! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time, folks!
