The Slushi Ninja sold out at Best Buy within minutes, but is still available elsewhere.

The inventory percentage of Best Buy has created a significant sense of scarcity, but there is no reason to worry.

The Best Buy store experienced a notable interest in the Ninja Slushi, which was restocked during a specific event on November 15th at 11 a.m. This product sold out within minutes of its replenishment. However, for those still looking to purchase it, the Ninja Slushi is still available on the Ninja website and at Macy's, where it is offered at a price of $299.99.

During this event, customers rushed to make their purchases, and in just three minutes, the "claimed inventory" bar reached 100%, marking one of the fastest sales in the history of these Best Buy events. Despite this apparent scarcity, it’s important to highlight that it is not too difficult to find the Ninja Slushi in other stores.

Since its launch in July, the Ninja Slushi has been subject to multiple sold-out sales, generating expectations that stock on both websites could diminish quickly. Using the Slushi has become an enjoyable and convenient experience, allowing users to prepare a variety of frozen drinks at home, from frozen orange juice to frappés.

The Ninja Slushi offers five different settings: slush, alcoholic slush, frappé, milkshake, and frozen juice. This opens up an almost limitless range of possibilities for creating anything from a fruit drink to a frozen soda. It can take about an hour to freeze the liquids, but it retains its consistency for several hours.

Additionally, soda, juice, or wine can be poured directly into the Slushi, although it is important to note that sugar is essential for it to operate properly. Still, its use has become popular, especially with the arrival of cold weather, leading to experimentation with recipes like frozen cider mimosas.

In the same context, the Ninja Creami, another similar appliance, is available for $219.99. This product has also carved out its place in many kitchens, although it requires more preparation compared to the Slushi.

Leah Stodart, who reports on technology and shopping, notes that the popularity of items like the Ninja Slushi reflects current trends in the home, particularly around products that facilitate the creation of homemade recipes and the easy and enjoyable preparation of beverages.
