We have one, the new models are inferior to the original models. They just aren't made of the same "quality." It's a cool novelty item I guess, it does what it says it will do.....then again so does a blender

Re: Margaritaville frozen concoction maker
Yeah, I figured it was pretty much just a fancy blender with a spout. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Margaritaville frozen concoction maker
We bought the Fuji and love it! I really didn't like the recipe listed to make Margarita's and have since tweaked it to make a lower calorie Margarita.
The Fuji shaves the ice perfectly. We have made mudslides too but try to stay away from those.

It was my first look baby that's all it took

Re: Margaritaville frozen concoction maker
Two friends of mine each had one and I had to get one myself. My wife wasn't happy about it, but since it is now SO EASY to spit out frozen morsels of heaven I couldn't take it back if I wanted.
And they make great frozen drinks. So many times frozen margarita's I get out at restaurants are chunky, but not from this. And I found the key is to let the ice sit 15 minutes before actually making the drink (this is in the instructions but I ignored it until I broke down and tried it once and it actually works, lol). And the great thing is it's so easy to use. I highly recommend one of these.
