I got the same machine and live in Australia and buy the concentrated stuff but it's not nice. Can you give me any simple ideas. Can I make mango slushy with real mango. I also noticed the concentrated flavours become like icy balls rather than smooth texture and the next day it's absolutely yuk and very liquidy
Funny you should ask that, User. We have a video coming out next week that deals with concentrated brands. You can in fact use a puree of mango in this. The only fruit that I will never use again is banana. That was sooooo hard to clean out of the tank. I've had great lucky with strawberry and of course oranges are an easy one too.
When the slush machine is to get to the right slush temperature does it turn off in between to defrost or anything. I have mine set to -9 degrees. It stopped at -6.1. Will it turn back on? Or is something wrong
That means it is working perfectly, Inasphere. Mine does the same. I start everything out at a -7.1 and the machine will stop getting colder once the slushy is providing the right amount of resistance to the churning arm. Each batch will be a little bit different. Cheers to ya!
Hi Thanks for the video. I'm having trouble finding parts. My machine began making a scraping noise. When my husband opened it up he found that the plastic piece that holds the fan to the motor shaft was broken. Any idea where I can find this part? Vevor hasn't been helpful and partstown doesn't carry this part. Thanks in advance...
Hey there, Marie. I would suggest two things. One you might call a refrigeration company in your town. I hear from a lot of folks that have success repair slushy machine motor parts through their local repair shop. Secondly, here is a company that I use in Australia. They are magicians in how fast they get parts to me. Here is the list I found when I put "Slushie" into their search engine. www.highway.net.au/products/index.html?search=true&query=Slushie+§ion=&category= I hope this helps! Us slushy folk gotta stick together lol. Cheers.
Do you clean the bars that the auger clicks into, mine extended out when I took my machine apart so I wiped it down. You didn’t seem to touch yours so maybe that’s not normal. I’m new with my machine
I think you are talking about the rod that goes inside the chilling arm. If so, sort of, Maria. Mine does not come out so I don't have to clean it. I do clean the few inches that are exposed and everything the liquid touches. I hear about 30% of the machines have the rods come out of them. It's not supposed to do that but it really doesn't adversely effect it when it's on.
I bought a vevor modle xrj3lx2 any advice on making smirnoff triple black. I also added strawberry syrup to it also. But so far I have not found which temperature I need it on. I dont have one that says -1.7like yours so I'm manly getting alot of beeping. Any help you can give me please
Hey there, Brandy! Welcome to the slushy family!! I believe this is your slushy machine: s.vevor.com/bfQ9SS If memory serves, your machine has numerical slushy settings of 1 -15 whereas mine has settings ranging from 4.0 to -9.0. So, my normal slushy setting of -7.1 would be equivalent to your 13. Really, the key is twofold, the right temp for the right sugar content. Our machines need our recipes to contain 13% sugar to freeze properly, To be certain, you can use what we do, a sugar refractometer: amzn.to/46EPq8M This device is inexpensive and lets you quickly know if your recipe is ready to slush! Please, let me know if you have other questions! Happy Slushing!
Your video pushed me over the edge , i got one! Messed aroznd and hid the extra 'O' ring and gaskets from myself, will any of the vevor ice cream, ir Amazon parts cross to these units?
Boom! Congratulations, Bob. Welcome to the Slushy Family! I've never had the Vevor ice cream. I didn't know they made a mix. But the mix of ice cream I use is delicious! Here is the link to it: www.margaritaman.com/product/vanilla-soft-serve/?ref=MultiCasking If you need more gaskets, I put the list of where to get them in each video. Here they are some of the parts for ya: Auger Gaskets: amzn.to/3TsORtB or here amzn.to/3PfmFb6 Hopper Gasket Here: amzn.to/4c7uERn Food-Grade Gasket Silicone: amzn.to/48O08cn New handles: www.highway.net.au/arcade-parts/slushie-machine-parts/handle-spout-slushie-machine/19380-1.html Slushy Sugar Refractometer: amzn.to/45Co82b Digital Sugar Refractometer: amzn.to/4bhuRj4 Milwaukee Refractometer: amzn.to/4eBN0uU
First of all, Michelle, welcome to the Slushy Family! Let's get that machine slushin'. The top three reasons slushy machines like our Vevor X-300 don't freeze properly are: *Temperature settings:* Make sure the temperature is low enough. I recommend starting at -7 and lowering it if needed. The max cold setting on this machine is -9.0. *Water content*: If the mix is too thick, it may not freeze properly. Try adding a bit more water to your recipe. *Air circulation*: If the machine is placed too close to walls or other obstructions, it can overheat. Make sure it has enough space for proper airflow so the motor can do its job. Let me know if this helps, and we'll get you slushin' in no time!
Hey boss. Grest tutorial. But still two questions that my searches arent finding much information on. Where and how much lube is required? Also how do you remove the tap for seal replacement?
Hey Chad! Thanks for tuning in. Interestingly, my Vevor machine doesn't require any additional lubrication, which is a plus. In this video at the 1:30 mark I've demonstrated how to remove the two gaskets. They are the only two that can be taken out. Keeping these gaskets in top shape is pretty straightforward-I make sure to give them a thorough wash after every use. Since tap seal is not removable, I wash that in the sink as it's part of the tank. One thing I've learned the hard way is not to leave them in contact with alcohol for more than 7 days at a stretch. They tend to deteriorate if left in alcohol for too long and you wind up waiting three weeks for free replacements from Vevor and, well, then you're just bored for three weeks lol. Trust me, waiting three weeks for free replacements from Vevor can feel like an eternity! Remember, this advice is based on my experience with this specific Vevor model, so it might differ for other machines. Hope this helps you keep your slushy machine running smoothly! Cheers!
I go through a few each year too, Sara. Here is where I get my replacement gaskets: Auger Gaskets: amzn.to/3TsORtB or here amzn.to/3PfmFb6 Here are a few others, should you ever need the links: Hopper Gasket Here: amzn.to/4c7uERn Food-Grade Gasket Silicone: amzn.to/48O08cn New handles: www.highway.net.au/arcade-parts/slushie-machine-parts/handle-spout-slushie-machine/19380-1.html Slushy Sugar Refractometer: amzn.to/45Co82b Digital Sugar Refractometer: amzn.to/4bhuRj4 Milwaukee Refractometer: amzn.to/4eBN0uU I hope this helps! Have fun and slushy on!!
Hey there, Robert. I'm not certain I understand your question. My machine is in celsius and goes down to -9.0 and holds its temp just fine. For "resting" I set it to "Cold Drink" mode overnight or if I know we won't be having any slushies for a bit. My "Cold Drink" setting is 4.0. I hope that answered your question. Let me know if it didn't!
Wow! Well, you're in for a fantastic time! Have fun experimenting with flavors profiles and colors. This is definitely one machine that puts a smile on your face! Cheers.
CLD, you and I are kindred spirts. Our handles clearly state "Push" yet our friends keep pulling and breaking our handles. My handle's plastic snapped the circles that hold the L-shapped piece of metal. I too tried in vein to fix the handle but ended up ordering a twin from a company in Australia: www.highway.net.au/arcade-parts/slushie-machine-parts/handle-spout-slushie-machine/19380-1.html Since it takes so long to arrive, I ordered an extra two to have on hand for when more "Friends" make the same grave error in reading lol.
That's awesome, Rgy! Welcome to the Slushy Family! To help you out, could you please provide more details about what's not working on the machine? Is it making any specific noises, not cooling properly, or having trouble with the mixing mechanism? The more information you can give, the better I'll be able to assist you. Looking forward to helping you get it up and running!
With the company? None during the warranty but once the warranty runs out, they no longer offer supplies. They'll still answer any quality control questions you have though. If you mean the machine...none! I've only torn two gaskets in the last 18 months that I've had it and those were both due to me keeping the mix in the machine too long. Otherwise, it's a tremendously fun item that has given me zero issues. Cheers, Ravi.
Great question, Leo. Yes, you should. While the machine does come in a glorious 'Christmas Story' style wooden crate, it has been in that crate for a long time and has who knows what particles in it. So, just give it a quick wash off with some good ole fashioned dish soap and let the slushy times begin!
Great question, DQ. Yes, I do. In the beginning, I didn't, but then the auger started making loud clicking/thudding noises. I finally figured out it was due to the auger catching on the gaskets and causing friction. Here is the food-grade lubricant that I use: amzn.to/3W2ZNzt
Zero, Corey. No mechanical problems at all. I've had a few user errors which caused a few torn gaskets and some frozen tanks, and a buddy read the handle's "Push" as "Pull" which caused us to find a source for replacement handles. But I've since learned what I did wrong I now know to not repeat it lol. The machine works like a charm. We've had ours for 19 months now.
Hi! Hope u can help me, my machine stops because the water turns into ice, I think the water doesn't have to turn into ice(it has to turn into slush) , could you help me please? I'm sorry about my English!
No worries, Alan. First of all, welcome to the Slushie family! Just write your own words in your own language and I'll have Goggle translate it for us. As I understand your question, your slushy machine turns your drinks into actual ice? Correct? So, there are three fixes for this that are really easy. One, turn up your temperature. If it is too cold, simply turning the temperature up should solve the freezing problem. Two, if you are making an alcoholic drink, add more alcohol. Alcohol naturally prevents ice from occurring and you simply do not have enough in your mix. Three, adding sugar can help as it lowers the freezing point of water. If these suggestions do not solve the issue, let me know and we'll tackle it another way!
hey! great video! i got the same machine as you. I'm having an issue with when I have it in slushy mode it pushes the drink to the front (even though I filled it past the minimum level) and then since all the drink is in the front, the back of the machine is "dry" and it makes a rubbing noise. have you had this issue and do you have an suggestions?
First, welcome to the slushy community! That's freaking awesome that we have the same machine! Secondly, it's funny you should mention that, Pittman. We have that exact same issue. The slushy pushes to the front due to the angle of the auger's blade. Then, in the back, it's a bit of a slushy void and you hear a sort of clicking sound that is in tune with the rotation. We've found that keeping the hooper full by adding topping it off every eight or nine drinks or by keeping the temp of the slush mode down just a bit keeps the beverage more horizonal and keeps the noise from occurring quite as often. Cheers to ya and welcome to the channel!
I have one too. I'm worried the handle is going to break at some point or the seals are going to go bad. Doesn't look like vevor sells replacement parts. Do you know where I can find some?
Hey there, Matt. That's a great question! So, this is what I did. I asked for a replacement part which is done by emailing the photo of a bad part. When I asked what I do when the warranty runs out they would not give me straight answer. So, after repeatedly asking, they sent me 6 spares of each gasket. With consistent cleaning, those should last me several years. BUT....why the heck don't they just sell them??
Great questions, Donnie. I clean it after each use. It only takes 10 minutes and most of that time is from cleaning the cooling arm. Alcohol mixes last longer as alcohol acts as a preservative but for non-alcoholic slushies, I will only keep them for two weeks. Normally, the batch is consumed before then though.
Thank you…I have a 2 sided 1 gallon tank…I had a hard time with my 1st batch…too much liquor..diluted it..then not enough flavor but I brought it back to life…I have to learn how to keep the sugar ratio at the right % with the alcohol so it will freeze but other than that I love it when it does freeze
That's a great point, Bernice. We've been using a lot of premade mixes that are designed with the right sugar ration lately. I'll be making an Apple Cider this weekend to celebrate Autumn arriving! Fall and apples seem to go together.
Hey there, Cortez. First of all, welcome to the slushy family!!! To adjust the temp, simply turn on the tanks (top button on both sides). Then push either the "Cold Drink" or "Slushy" buttons to turn on the chilling arm. Then hit the + or the - buttons to adjust the temps. Hope that helps ya!
That's a good idea, Nick. Although, the beauty about our drinks is you never taste the alcohol. So, the same recipes can be used for kid friendly drinks just by removing the alcohol from the recipe. Our first recipe video will come out this weekend for ya.
Great question, Thu. I have a video coming out about that next weekend. In the meantime, since it's the water that freezes, check the water level is accurate for the recipe for your machine. 2) Since it can adversely affect the cooling arm's temperature, keep the condensation off the exterior of the tank. Thirdly, make certain your temp is cold enough (I start all my slushes out at -7.1 but you can go to -9). Lastly, make sure nothing is covering either the intake vents or the blow vents. Improper ventilation will cause it to not slush. I hope this helps you!
Hey! I just got a Vevor 15G Slushie machine and I was super excited to use it but when I turn it on all it says "RH OFF." Do you have any experience with that? Trying to figure it out so I can make slushie sangrias! Thanks for this tutorial!
Hey there Brittoodles, RH is temperature sensor malfunction alarm. You should be able to fix it by stop cooling in cold drink function for a 20-30 mins, turn the machine off for a minute, restart it, and turning on the cold drink or slush function again.
@@MultiCasking Hi! I don’t understand what that means? The letters/numbers won’t even light up for mine to change from mode to mode. All it lights up for a split second is “RH OFF” sadly. Got any tips on how to deal with this? :(
Nothing really. That line is most important for the initial freezing process. Once it becomes a frozen slush, we will frequently drink it below the line. We rarely add to it. We normally just finish it and switch it out for a new drink.
Welcome to the Slushy Family, Jamica! I just finished making a delicious Long Island Slushy mix. I'll raise a glass and cheers to you in that review video. Congratulations once more!
Great question. I've tried several recipes using wine-based liquor, and they can be a great addition to your beer and wine saloon. Here are a few suggestions that I hope help you out. Peach Moscato Slushy: 2 bottles (750 ml each) of Moscato wine 2 cups of peaches (juiced or pureed) If you are using a blender, use 2 cups of frozen peaches 750ml of peach schnapps 1/2 cup of simple syrup (homemade syrup is equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved) Sugar content may need adjusting to ensure a 13% mixture is needed. For Sangrias: 1 bottle (½ gal) - Margarita Man Sangria concentrate 1.75 gal - water 3.75 L - Red Wine (5 - 750 mL bottles) ½ L - Brandy combine all ingredients in a 5-gallon mixing container, stir or shake vigorously, and carefully pour into a margarita or slush machine. Makes 54 8-ounce drinks with alcohol mixed into it. For Froses: 1 bottle (½ gal) - Margarita Man Frosé concentrate 2 gal - water 3 L - Rosé wine (4 - 750 mL bottles) 750 mL - Vodka combine all ingredients in a 5-gallon mixing container, stir or shake vigorously, and carefully pour into a margarita or slush machine. Makes 56 8-ounce drinks with alcohol mixed in, or 40 non-alcoholic slushies.
@@glycoln I believe this is your machine: s.vevor.com/bfQ7on For non-alcoholic slushies, keep the mix at -3°C to -5°C (26°F to 23°F) for the perfect snowball texture. For alcoholic slushies, aim for -8°C to -10°C (18°F to 14°F) to maintain a smooth consistency. Ensure your mix has at least 13% sugar for optimal freezing. Enjoy!
Hi, any updates on parts that you’re aware of for these things? I’ve got one in Australia and finding parts is becoming quite frustrating… seals, tap handles etc… thanks in advance..
I plan on doing a video on that in the next two weeks. But Australia might have a different availability rate. Here are the auger gaskets that I order: amzn.to/49vnowv
