I went to South Carolina for the 4th of July and my sister-in-law had purchased one and after enjoying margarita's i just had to have one. My machine arrived the day that i was have family in for the holiday and they loved it and now 2 other family members have made a purchase. This is the best thing ever. I love my machine.

Love this thing, its my favorite appliance this summer. Does an awsome job in just minutes.

Frist use it quit running after about 5 min., but the drinks were slushie so after letting it cool ran it at two min. intervals. Made 2 batches that nite. Made good slus hie drinks, drinks stayed cold. I used crushed ice. Love it

I may have had unrealistic expectations of this product. I expected a machine that would disperse frozen drinks, however, this machine just chops ice! I did like the one switch operation & quiet motor. When mixing less than a gallon it seemed to melt the ice rather than crush it. Also, the spout dripped constantly and this made it impossible to store any left over drink in the container. For me, I can do everything that this product does with an average blender.

WAS A GIFT FOR MY DAUGHTER & WAS VERY EMBARCED WHEN SHE CALLED ME TO SAY THE MACHINE STOPPED RUNNING DURING THE FIRST TIME SHE USED IT. WOULD NOT TELL ANYONE TO BUY IT.

took maragator out of box to use, it does not power up.

I ordered this as a Christmas present. Of course, I was embarrassed to learn it had to be returned because it malfunctioned in the first 10 minutes of use.

Looks like a million bucks....didn't work. I had used an older model and it worked like a champ. So I thought I would purchase one for our house. Loaded it with ice and ingredients and turned it on. It ran for about 5 minutes before it quit mixing. I assume that the drive mechanism (teeth) stripped out by the way it is acting. Back to Wally World it goes for a refund. Just buy a good blender instead and save your $100.

Got this as a Christmas present and fired it up for the first time two weeks ago (who makes Margaritas in winter?). Took waaayy too long to make but the results were okay. Tried to make another batch last weekend and the thing died a few minutes after I turned it on. Seems to be a common problem from what the other posters have said. As the 90 day return has expired I've written to CS to find out what my options are. I won't be getting another one, maybe a new blender instead.

Don't waste your money or time!!! I should have listened to other buyers reviews before I spent my money of this piece of garbage. I tried 3 different style of ice cubes; crushed (recommended, cubed, shaved) the mixture never came out slushy at all. It was cold alright but never frozen or thick consistency. I was stupid enough to buy 2 of them for a party on May 30th, one I returned to Wal-Mart the following day, the other I'm stuck with because I bought it on ebay :-( Trust me, buy the pre-made buckets and stick in the freezer if you want slushies.
