Buy slushmachine? You really need to know this before you choose

Do you want one slush machine buying, then you mainly want one thing: certainty that it works well, lasts a long time and you don't have to worry about it. Slush machines often look alike on the outside, but there is a world of difference on the inside. The right choice means years of fun and turnover, the wrong choice means frustration, downtime and unexpected costs.

In this blog we explain step by step what you really need to pay attention to. Simple, clear and based on more than 20 years of experience with slush machines, parts and fun food products. We supply machines every day to catering establishments, events, leisure, snack bars, shops and seasonal locations. As a result, we see exactly which machines run without any problems for years... and which models receive faster treatments in practice. We are happy to share that knowledge with you.

Why the right choice is so important

A slush machine is not just a nice device: it is a workhorse that turns turnover, adds experience and needs maintenance. If you choose smartly, you won't have to worry about it for years. If you choose incorrectly, you will have to deal with disruptions, downtime and unexpected costs.

1. Parts must be readily available

This is immediately a crucial point. A slush machine consists of parts that may eventually need to be replaced, such as: rubbers, paddle wheel, lids, engine parts, seals, etc. Many web shops do not have parts in stock, which means you have a standstill. Almost all parts of our machines are immediately available and are in stock. That means certainty and no loss of turnover.

What are you paying attention to?

• Are parts available quickly?
• Can you order rubbers, tanks, lids, etc. separately?
• How quickly can this be delivered?

2. The quality of the cooling compressor

The compressor is the heart of your slush machine, it determines how quickly the machine cools, how stable the slush becomes and how long the machine lasts. European compressors are known for their reliability, long service life and consistent performance, while with much cheaper or counterfeit machines (often from China) the compressors are less robust and cause problems more quickly.

In addition, it is essential that the machine works with an approved refrigerant. In the EU, strict safety and environmental rules apply through the F-gas regulation, so that only safe and future-proof refrigerant gases are used (according to the European Commission, F-gas regulations). This is strictly taken into account with our machines, as this is necessary for a machine that you want to run worry-free for years to come.

In short: a strong, European compressor combined with an approved coolant ensures much more safety, stable slush, fewer malfunctions and years of problem-free use.

3. A machine that can cool and freeze

Not all slush machines can do both. Some only make slush, but cannot cool drinks. With a device that does have both functions, you can do much more, because you can effortlessly create the following things with it:

• lemonade
• sports drinks
• cocktails
• chilled syrupdrinks
• and of course slush

Our slush machines have both modes as standard, the best of both worlds.

4. Maintenance-friendly design

A machine that is easy to clean saves time and prevents malfunctions. Note that a machine:

• clickable parts has
• has smooth, accessible surfaces
• provides clear access to filters and rubbers
• has parts that you can easily disassemble and/or replace yourself

5. Viscosity control (automatic thickness control)

A small part that makes a huge difference.
Viscosity control automatically controls how thick the slush is. This will prevent:

• too hard ice formation
• aqueous slush
• overload of the engine
• inconsistent quality

The slush machine keeps itself balanced, you don't have to keep adjusting. FunStunter slush machines all have state-of-the-art viscosity control.

6. Buy a slush machine that is future-proof

A slush machine is an investment for years. You want to make sure that service and maintenance remain possible in the future.
Therefore, note:

• modern, energy-efficient cooling technology
• approved refrigerant gases according to EU rules
• strong engines
• sturdy tanks and reliable seals
