I see a lot of reviews on this machine where people claim they cannot use it for ADULT drinks or for making slushy's with alcohol. We use this primarily for Wine Slushy's, but the secret is SUGAR CONTENT! In order for these machines to create SLUSH, especially with alcohol content, then you need something in the form of sugar content as well.. ie: Soda, (NOT SUGAR FREE OR IT WON'T WORK). So long as you have something liquid with a sugar content, then your adult beverage concoctions are essentially LIMITLESS! My ONLY issue with this machine, is after a few years of use, proper cleaning, proper lubrication of the seals with a really good food grade lubricant, the rear seals of the tanks are leaking just ever so slightly. I have not successfully been able to find any actual CONTACT information for VEVOR so that we may order new rear tank seals. I noticed when I went to move the machine that there was sticky goo (which turned out to be wine) under the machine. I took the side panel off and found that we had a coating of wine on the inside bottom of the machine. It took a while to clean this as there are so many parts in the way, and we couldn't just remove the bottom panel of the machine as there are too many parts connected to it. If not for the issues of trying to find a contact phone number for VEVOR, then they would have gotten a 5 star PLUS review! We take this machine with us EVERYWHERE! Camping, Parties, you name it.. our local winery LOVES us because of the amount of orders we place for their specialty wines for making our own Slushy's!
