Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Margaritaville DM1000 Frozen Concoction Maker
Customer Review: This thing ROCKS
Summary: 5 Stars
We weren't huge margarita fans, but my husband decided that he wanted it and we've become margarita drinkers. We've only had it for 3 weeks but have gone through 4 bottles of tequila with our friends already, if that's any testiment to how much we love it. We've convinced a colleague to buy one and are also buying a second one as a gift for friends.
The shaved ice makes a margarita unlike any you can make with any other non-commercial appliance out there. We do add a little extra ice like some other reviewers recommend, and we found that ice made from our refrigerator's ice maker sometimes shaves a little better than store-bought bags of ice. Our daughters love non-alcholic daquiris from it too, and are forever asking for "strawberry drinks." It even works perfectly when we throw actual strawberries into the pitcher before blending.
In all, we LOVE this thing and are planning many parties around it this summer.
Customer Review: Hit of the party!
Summary: 5 Stars
We had a big Labor Day bash last weekend and this machine was the hit of the party.Several of my friends have since ordered their own because they were so impressed with the quality of the frozen drinks and how fast they were made! Great virgin drinks for the kids too. Best of all, clean up was very simple and the reservoir prevents melting ice from dripping all over the counter. I do wish that they offered extra jars though,so I could be making more while I'm pouring!
I had shopped around considerably and found the Margaritaville priced the same everywhere. The advantage to buying here was the free shipping and $30. off when you use the Amazon card. I also bought the carry case which was definitely worth the cost as it is a custom fit for the machine and allows you to travel without worry.
This is a must have for your summer parties...but I will use mine all year long!
Customer Review: Super Slushies!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband is a big slushie fan so for Valentines Day this year I was on the lookout for a slushie machine.
Having searched the net I was amazed at the prices of the usual slushie machines - over $1000 was a little excessive!
It was then that I came across this little gem. I was a little sceptical at first since so many other machines like it had received none too sparkling reviews but those given for this machine seemed much more positive so I placed the order.
I am so glad I did!
The machine shaves the ice perfectly and with a little syrup mix makes super slushies! It also works wonderfully on milkshakes.
Clean up is very easy, its not too loud and it looks pretty cool too.
Hubbie is thrilled to bits and so am I.
Customer Review: Best Invention Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The Margaritaville DM1000 Frozen Concoction Maker is absolutely the best invention ever! I have made numerous frozen concoctions including margaritas, pina coladas, daiquiris, other drinks that haven't been named yet! I have found it extremely useful to make my protein shakes after a workout at the gym! (Non-alcholic of course) My daughter even likes for me to use the "Shave only" feature and make her snowcones! All you have to do if you want your concoction thicker is hit the "Shave only" feature then blend only! It took me a few times to get it right, but now I'm a Master! Adding fruit is not a problem either...just throw it in and let the machine do all the work! The MFCM is extremely versatile and has been a hit everywhere I take it!Customer Review: Gotta Love it...
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently purchased this item a few weeks ago and in the short time we've had it, we've definitely gotten our money's worth. The machine DOES make great drinks and makes it very easy to entertain and serve cocktails to large groups. The only complaint that I have is that it is loud when blending. When you're entertaining a large group, it's fine--but if you're looking to make a margarita up for yourself, be prepared to share with everyone in the house.
And if you have it set-up in the backyard, be prepared for neighbors to hear the roar and come through the side door to join in all the fun. (no joke!).
Tip: Williams Sonoma's Mango Margarita mix has been our favorite for us and all of our guests.
