Ninja SLUSHi vs Ninja SLUSHi Max
Get the Ninja SLUSHi. Unless you host big parties — then the SLUSHi Max makes twice as much, faster, and sets itself.
Ninja SLUSHi
Real slush at home without ice or a blender: juice or Coke turns to slush in 15–20 minutes. Big, and sugar-free drinks won't work.
Ninja SLUSHi Max
The party-sized SLUSHi: 12 drinks a batch, faster, and it senses your drink and tells you to add sugar. Big and bulky.

Both chill the drink itself, so slush is never watered down, and both rinse clean. The Max makes about 12 drinks a batch, senses your drink and tells you when to add sugar, but it's bigger, heavier and dearer; the SLUSHi is plenty for most homes.
