Ninja makes some of the niftiest kitchen gadgets, from toasters to air fryers to ovens and beyond. The brand has become a staple in tons of homes across the globe. But if you want to get really chilly this upcoming holiday season, you can get or give the gift of frozen treats.
That's right. Ninja's popular slushie maker, the Ninja Slushi, is finally on sale. If you've been eyeing this frosty machine all summer like I have, now is the time to scoop one up during Octo(brr) Prime Day sales.
But, here's our advice: Don't shop the Slushi at Amazon.

Right now, the best offers on the Ninja Slushi are sneakily available at two other retailers. While other brands like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and more are selling the Slushi on sale for $299 (a savings of $50), sleeper brands like Ninja itself and QVC have even better discounts.
At QVC, you can get the 88-ounce frozen drink maker in Teal for $270, and if you're a new customer at QVC, you can save an extra $20 off an order of $40 or more with the code WELCOME20 at checkout. This brings the machine down to $250, or $100 off the original price.

If you're not a fan of this color, Ninja itself is selling its Slushi maker for $299 as well, but with an extra 20% off almost everything on the website with the code NEW20 at checkout, you can get the frosty appliance for $240 plus free shipping -- saving you $110 total. Ninja has the same 88-ounce machine in the colors Orange Mango (yellow orange), Artic Blue and Gray (gray), and Margarita (green), but the Margarita color is sold out at the time of writing.
