Nostalgia HSB590 Slushy Maker Review

Whether you want slushies or Margaritas, you can have all the fantastic flavors you imagine in just a few minutes of time. It comes from having the Nostalgia HSB590 margarita and slush maker in your kitchen. This simple-to-use machine is one that we think most people will appreciate having easy access to. To learn more, just take a look at some of the features of this amazing little machine on this website.

Our Full Nostalgia HSB590 Review

The Nostalgia HSB590 has a 1-gallon tank. This makes it able to hold several servings of whatever your favorite beverage may be. The blending container is dual walled so that if you mix the entire gallon, it will keep for several hours, or until you are ready to drink it. In fact, in our testing, we have seen it consistently maintain the slush for hours. However, we can say that because there is no refrigeration system on it, the length of time it will keep is going to depend on how warm it is in the area that you have it placed.

We also like the way that it looks. It has a stainless-steel base and accents. The base conceals a powerful motor that promises to shave ice to a perfect consistency in just a few minutes. The average time it seems to take is about 15-minutes. All parts of it, especially those that contact your beverages, is BPA-free for your family’s safety.

It also has a very space-saving design. It measures only 10 x 10.5 x 19.30-inches. It is also easy to move around from place to place since it weighs in at just 9.7 pounds.

Once your slushies or margaritas have reached the desired consistency, you can serve it easily. All you need to do is flip the dispenser nozzle. An easy-flow spout will dispense it, even the tiny chunks of ice, so that you can start enjoying it instantly.

This machine comes with a manufacture’s warranty that extends to one year. Depending on where you buy it and the extras that you choose with it, you can usually get an extended warranty option. This is a nice option since the machine, as a whole, is such an affordable slushie machine and margarita maker to have around.

Using This Slush Maker

This slushie machine is very easy to use. You simply put it near a power supply and plug it in. You will then need to add the flavor you want to use. Margarita mix, soda, syrups, etc. are all good options that can be put inside this machine. After the ingredients, you will want to add some ice. Depending on the amount of slushie you want, you may need several cups of ice and quite a bit of salt, which should be layered around the machine.

Turn on the machine and let it begin working its magic. This is the most time-consuming part of the process and we urge you to be a little patient for the next 15 minutes.

Once it has reached a consistency you feel is enjoyable, you can flip the switch on the nozzle and it will dispense into your glass. You can leave the machine on, but we recommend that you turn it off. The ice water will keep it cold for a while. However, you may want to turn it back on for a few minutes before grabbing your next glass.

When the day is done, you should wash out the containers and nozzle. We recommend hand washing, just for simplicity. You can read more about how to use the slushie machine.

How Does the Slush Maker Compare?

We really like the Nostalgia HSB590. However, we decided to take it one step further and look at other options. If you just want a personal slushie maker for home use, the Wanderlust X Frose drink maker and the Nostalgia MSB64 are both worthy of taking a look at.

The MSB64 is slightly smaller but still features a powerful slushie motor. It can make up to 64-ounces in just a few moments. The cup rest, detachable cup rest, and base all come apart for easy cleanup.

The X Frose makes 32 ounces of your favorite frozen drinks. It even comes with a recipe booklet to help you expand your drink creativity. It promises to be fast working and effective. It is comparable in size to the other two. You will also find that it is comparable in price as well.

Is the Slush Machine Worth Bringing Home?

Overall, our opinion is, “Yes.” We feel that for a slushie machine that is easy to use and provides enough slushie goodness for a group of people. We also feel that the time it takes to prepare it is worth it. The only thing faster would be to use a blender, but this comes with its own downsides. In my experience, blenders get frozen so that the blades can stop spinning, which may damage the machine. Therefore, it is better to have a machine that is designed for it.

This machine can make a variety of flavors for both adults and kids. Our biggest regret is that we didn’t try it out by writing a Nostalgia HSB590 margarita and slushie maker sooner. This is why our main hope is that you also feel it is worth taking a good look at.
