Poorly designed, but does actually freeze thingsThe technology works — almost too well. But the cup is poorly designed. They put appearance over function. In order to make it look as if it holds more than it does, they made it a tall, narrow cone. When the liquid goes in, it instantly begins to form a very solid layer in the bottom and on the sides. The little plastic scraper isn’t even close to sturdy enough to scrape it off. A butter knife works a bit better. There’s no way to scrape it from the sides quickly enough to prevent the build up. It requires constant, forceful scraping, and the narrow cone shape means you can’t scrape the bottom. Worse — every scrape results in the liquid splashing upward out of the glass like a geyser. It holds 7 ounces, but a good deal of it is wasted because it freezes so thickly that there’s no getting it out, not to mention the amount hat ends up on the counter and on your shirt. I end up with about 3 ounces of drinkable slush. It’s a little better if you add the liquid in small amounts, so that the incoming warm liquid helps to keep it from forming a thick layer so quickly.Now, having said that this cup is poorly designed, I would like to try their ice cream bowl, because the technology works well, and the bowl shape might prevent some of the issues. Since making slush in the cup is impractical, I tried putting yogurt in it, and this worked much better than the liquid. Still rather impractical since it’s difficult to scrape it from the bottom of the tall, narrow glass without having yogurt-covered fingers, but the yogurt is too thick to splash and make a mess. It would have made a passable frozen yogurt if I hadn’t given up with it half frozen because of the annoyances caused by the cone-shaped cup. So… definitely don’t waste your money on this cup, but don’t discount the brand entirely. The technology works and the product is solidly constructed. if their product engineers stop putting form over function, they are going to put out some good products.Update: I have since made it work very successfully in 2 ways. 1. put very warm coffee in it at the start, and added more warm coffee periodically. 2. Put fruit juice in it when it had not been in the freezer for the recommended length of time. So it basically gets too cold to function and needs to either not be frozen all the way or you need to use warm liquid to prevent it freezing too fast. For this reason I have upgraded to 4 stars.

It takes a few tries to get the hang of itI had to try a few different things to make it work best for me – and each different type of liquid will act a bit differently. I like a milkshake texture; the instructions only mention to scrape the sides every minute, but the bottom will freeze solid if you don’t stir that. So – Stir up from the base of the liquid, and scrape the sides every minute or so. Once the consistency is right, to keep it from freezing too hard I often pour the contents into a different cup to enjoy; if it gets a bit runny, I can always pour is back into the freezing cup. This way I can take my time to enjoy my shakes.

Addicted!I have always loved slushies, so when I saw this cup I had to try it. Oh my gosh, I love this! It works amazingly well. Not sure if other reviewers aren’t reading the directions, but I find it works perfectly. You absolutely have to freeze the inner cup (standing upright) for about 24 hours. So, I get one slushie a day with one cup. I pour cold liquid into the cup, wait 30 seconds and scrape, wait another 30 seconds and scrape. Keep doing this for about 5 minutes or so, and you have the perfect slushie. The trick is to learn how to scrape the cup so the contents stay in the cup. Once it starts to freeze well, I scrape downwards and in a swirl direction. If you scrape from the bottom to the top then your frozen contents will come up in one piece. Scrape down and around. I love to make frozen coffee, but my recent favorite is grapefruit juice with a splash of tart cherry concentrate. So good!

Frozen – Not DilutedThe only thing that beats a frozen coke on a hot summer day is a glass of iced tea. I love frozen coke or an Icee, but they can be hard to find and it can be expensive. Problem solved. Although the texture is not exactly the same it does the trick and it will be used often.

Stay frostyI so glad I bought three just for me. They live in my freezer. I use them everyday for the perfect cold icy beverage. Its makes a slushie with anything. Juice, soda, Gatorade, or just water. If you dont have an ice maker or just out of ice these cups will save the moment any time of the day.

Good concept not as easy to get the consistency I wantThe cup is the perfect size but when adding liquids it seems it freezes too fast and scrapping the sides does not always give you the consistency you want and can be a bit messy. Hand cleaning is simple and the cup does freeze fast.

My husband loves this.I got this for my husband because he loves slushies. He is definitely getting a lot of use out of it. It really does need to be used with already chilled beverages. I tried a zero sugar soda with it and it did slush up somewhat, which was nice (product description indicates it may not work well with diet soda).

ZOKU Slush MakerMy wife loves slushies! This ZOKU product makes good slushies easily. It’s also easy to clean and maintain. But, do not use low or zero calorie drinks to make a slushy. The directions warns about it. The problem is it will freeze unmanageable hard. We definitely recommend it.
