Rank #9 in Best Slush Machine 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why 2.5L Pours 1.9L
Andrew James Electric Ice Crusher Slush Machine, 1L, Red
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Andrew James Ice Crusher Slush Machine is the cheapest thing in this guide at £38.99, and the only one here that does not pretend to freeze anything. The title calls it a slush machine; the bullets call it an electric ice crusher that crushes and grinds ice you supply and dispenses the shavings into a jug. That jug is where the one number in the title comes from: 1 litre, BPA free plastic, sold as a measuring jug. It is what you collect the ice in, not a tank of ready-made slush, and the listing quotes no larger capacity anywhere.
The rest of the numbers are modest and consistent: a 25-watt motor, 2.36 kg, 23 x 19 x 32 cm, and a specification table that answers "No" to auto shutoff. The rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 768 ratings, and the published breakdown puts 64 blocks in the five-star column against 7 in the one-star one. One spec row is worth reading twice: "Guaranteed software updates until" is listed as unknown, which is a field that means nothing on an ice crusher. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any testing we have done.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Loving this machine with the hot weather, takes 2 or 3 minutes to crush enough ice for 3 to 4 drinks.So ready to clean afterwards.”
Verified purchase“This is a brilliant little machine. In the description it says ice crusher/ slushie maker but I really thought it would just crush the ice. To my surprise it actually does turn your drinks into slushies . I was actually thinking about buying the ninja slushy maker for 349 quid but for 38 quid this little treasure is just as good. Would definitely recommend”

The listing describes it as an electric ice crusher that crushes and grinds ice you put in, with a built-in stirrer to stop the ice sticking together and a dial for fine or coarse shaved ice. It never claims to freeze liquid, so the ice comes from you.
How much can it hold at once?

What motor does it use?
25 watts, according to the specification table.
Can I change how finely the ice is crushed?
Yes. The listing says you choose between fine or coarse shaved ice by turning a dial on the machine.
Is there an auto shutoff?
The specification table lists Auto Shutoff as No.
What warranty comes with it?
The listing says the machine and all ice dispensers are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. It does not state a length.
