Kenwood Slushie Maker

clarej1985

I bought a Kenwood Slushie maker from Tesco a couple of days ago.
I tried to use it last night (something simple orange squash and water). I had it on for an hour and a half but there was no sign of a slushie, just cold orange juice.
Nowhere on the box can i find how long it should take nor can i see anything on the Kenwood website.
Does anyone have one of these? Its driving me mad!

Little John says this

"We use a kenwood smoothie maker, make your drink of choice and stick it in to ice cube bags and freeze them. get them out of the freezer and smash them up in the smoothie machine. you do need to pour them out of the top they are too thick for the tap but they are brilliant.

I found just smashing ice up than adding ribbena, orange or vimto what ever lost the flavour very quick. you can also use other drinks and try to freeze them."

I thought the post was about a sushi maker. Couldn't figure out how it would work but was ready to buy one!

Thanks, although if i knew making orange juice ice then smashing it up was the only way to use it i would have saved my money!!
I suppose the answer is the slushie maker doesnt actually work. Ive tried to get an email address for Kenwood customer services but there isnt one :mad:
And sorry Garnet, no sushi maker as yet! :eek:
