When you add regular cola to the machine, the ice that has formed on the condenser is already there, and if it doesn't melt, the machine will continue to detect that there is not enough sugar. In my opinion, you should either wait for the ice on the condenser to melt or start the experiment over from the beginning with a 1:1 ratio

As a FYI, most commercial slushy machines will tell you the brix measurement range supported by the machine (this tells you if the Slurpee will freeze, or be to runny). Typically a brix level of 13-18 is what is supported/suggested by most machine, some as low as 11. I'm unsure what the Ninja Slushi is, but would be interested in finding out (maybe an update video? hehe). The brix refracto meters are pretty cheap (20$-40$) so you can measure yourself, and keep in mind stuff other than sugar will affect the brix level, so, you can likely find a mixture/recipe that is less sugar if you experiment a bit and just test with a brix meter (so you can tell if it'll work or not pretty much immediately instead of waiting ~an hour to find out). For example alcohol will affect the brix level a lot, sugar of course, some flavorings will too (mostly sour/acidic stuff, pectins, organic acids, amino acid, etc) but usually to a smaller degree. Keep adding stuff till the brix hits the ~13 range!

This machine would be a disaster in the making for me. I'll just have to rely on my Ninja Creami for all my sugar free Frappuccino's, Slushi's, Milkshakes, Italian Ice's, etc. They may not be the "fine" consistency that this machine is capable of.

Here's a tip if you really really want the machine: In Norway we have sugarfree slush syrup you can buy, same slush syrups that commercial slushmachines use. Its sugarfree, and it works because they added another molecule that acts as a barrier, the same way as sugar-molecule does. I bet you can find the same product in denmark! :) I own a commercial slush-machine, and use "home-brew" is a strict no-no, on these very very expensive machines, so I only use slushsyrup which I buy online, and mix with water. :)

THere are several sugar-free recipes for the Ninja Slushi on the Ninja website. They all rely on allulose powder as a sugar substitute. Allulose doesn’t affect your blood glucose or insulin, making it a viable substitution for people living with diabetes. It also isn’t metabolized in your mouth, which can help keep cavities and other dental problems at bay. It's biggest weakness is cost - it typically costs about 5 times as much as regular granulated sugar (sucrose).

When you were trying to make the soft serve ice cream by turning up the temperature all I thought was not enough fat content to turn it into ice cream. I would try a vanilla ice cream recipe and put in the fridge over night. Try it in the machine and see how that comes out. You MUST use sugar to lower the freezing point of the mixture that's why zero sugar doesn't work.
@JoesPhenomenal2 ай бұрын
On that soft serve, I ended up using half & half along with some 1% full sugar chocolate milk, so it really did have a ton of fat and sugar in it... Came out like a Wendy's Frosty. Pretty tasty, but if it got much more dense, I don't think it would have been able to come out of the spigot on the front..... I might have been too high on the fat though. Still came out nice though.

Hello, I have this machine, I got it the first day it came out. I have tried making Frappuccinos, my problem though has been is been so much air in my drinks. I can't get that thick texture you had in your drinks. Would you please help me out? Thanks. 😊

What happens when you crank it down colder?
@MrCaptainBubbles4 ай бұрын
@JoesPhenomenal could be my problem. I put it up pretty high because I figured the colder it is the thicker it would get. But milkshake setting is really high naturally so not sure why that would cause it to always be so airy. I'm also using coffee drinks that are premixed from the store. Such as Starbucks, international delight iced coffee. I don't know if it's because I don't mix everything up before I put it in the machine?
@MrCaptainBubbles4 ай бұрын
After reading over all 3 instruction manuals (owners guide, quick start guide and recipes guide) I found in tips and tricks it says "when using milkshake or frappé preset, dispense within 30 minutes of preset ending up avoid a foamy output". Hopefully that is what the problem is. I hope this helps someone else too.

22:30 I don’t think he understands how the machine works nor does he understand how sugar affects the freezing temperature. Machine giving a warning because it’s clear that ice was building up on the condenser and bending the plastic auger. No amount of sugar he adds will melt the ice that already built up. He needs to dump out the batch, take out the condenser and melt off the ice build up. Sugar lowers the freezing temperature of the mixture, that is all. It interferes with the ice crystals forming, just as alcohol does. What he needs to do is retest the Coke Zero, but set the temperature all the way down and closely monitor the ice buildup on the condenser. It probably still wouldn’t work, but the amount of sugar required would be significantly reduced. As for making soft serve, he needs to retry again, but dump out half the batch and slowly increase the freeze level. There are two issues at play. The more the mixture freezes, the more it’ll expand. Also, the strength of the auger is the limiting factor since it’s plastic. Increasing the freeze level too quickly causes the mixture to freeze too quickly and prevents the auger from scraping the ice buildup on the condenser. Wild idea for tinkerers: try 3D printing a stronger auger out of metal and replace the plastic one. Also modify the shape of the auger slightly so the edge is a little sharp to better help scrape the ice from the condenser. Caveat: the auger might be made of plastic on purpose to be the sacrificial part to save the motor. If it’s replaced with a metal one, there’s a chance the condenser and the auger would freeze together and overload the motor.

Ninja is great at making almost awesome products, but they always manage to mess it up. My creami won't power on unless I unplug the power cord and plug it back in. The new foodi grill has a problem with the thermometer throwing an error that it's not plugged in if you place it into meat that's 40 degrees or colder (the older model didn't have this issue). The blenders are ok, but they're pretty fragile and the lids are overengineered for "safety".
@JoesPhenomenal5 ай бұрын
There always seems to be some sort of crazy flaw... I hear ya... Remember the Creami Breeze got cancelled mid-production due to fires, evidently. I feel like they need to slow down a little bit, and work on tweaking and perfecting their stuff before making new models. That being said, I personally have been really lucky. None of my Ninja products have ever failed me with the exception of one food processor bowl cracking, and one ninja creami lid needing a replacement due to a little plastic nub breaking off.

The one thing I can see happening was bright to life when he showed the handle lever design. I'm almost willing to bet NINJA says that the whole assembly is dishwasher safe. Regardless of whether it is or not, plastic always seems to get damaged in the dishwasher and creates tiny micro fractures. Once that happens those pins holding the handle in are just going to slowly breakdown. Washing it by hand is my recommendation.
