Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The QOVO Slush Machine is a counter-top frozen drink maker with a built-in compressor, which means no ice to crush and no freezer bowl left chilling overnight. At £131.98 it takes eighth place in this guide, with a 4.2 rating from 20 reviews. The listing gives it a 2L drum, five presets and five thickness levels, and quotes roughly 30 minutes for a batch and up to 4 hours of holding slush consistency once it is made.
The number worth pausing on is the capacity. QOVO publishes 2L and nothing else. There is no separate maximum-fill figure anywhere on the page, so on this listing the headline capacity is neither confirmed nor contradicted — you are taking the drum size on trust. The same page carries a field headed "Guaranteed software updates until", which reads "unknown", and 12.6kg is more than the 11kg of the Ninja pair in this guide. What the rating breakdown does show is that none of the 20 ratings falls below three stars: 58% are four-star, 31% five-star and 11% three-star. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than from any testing of our own.

Questions people ask
Do I need to add ice or freeze a bowl overnight?
No. The QOVO Slush Machine has a built-in compressor that chills the drum directly, so there is no freezer bowl to chill and no ice to crush. The listing says it runs at roughly the volume of a microwave.
How long does a batch take?
The listing says a batch is typically ready in around 30 minutes, faster if your ingredients were already chilled, and that the QOVO then holds slush consistency for up to 4 hours while running.
What can I put in the QOVO?
Five presets cover slush, frappe, milkshake, frozen juice and spiked slush. Ready-made slush syrup gives the classic texture and colour straight away, and the listing says full-sugar cordial, fruit juice, milkshake mix and pre-mixed cocktails all work. It is liquids only, so anything solid should be blended first.
Does the 2L mean 2L of finished slush?
The listing gives a 2L drum and no separate maximum-fill figure, so nothing on the page says how much of that 2L is usable once the auger and lid are in place. The only capacity number QOVO publishes is 2L.
How do I clean it?
There is a self-clean cycle: add water with a drop of washing-up liquid, press self-clean and it rinses through in about five minutes. The drum, auger and lid all lift straight out for a deeper wash.
How much space does it need?
The QOVO measures 43cm H x 42.7cm D x 18.3cm W and weighs 12.6kg. The listing asks for 15cm of clearance either side for airflow and says to stand it upright for 24 hours before first use.
