Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- The Ninja Slushi Twist was unveiled by Ninja (SharkNinja) in May 2026 as a dual-flavor Slushi machine with independent side-by-side reservoirs and a central blend option. It carries a price around $399.99 and rapidly drew interest, with some reports noting it sold out on launch day.[1][6]
- In early 2026, coverage highlighted the Twist as the most significant upgrade since the original Slushi debut in 2024, emphasizing its two-flavor capability and a feature set that includes a central blend button for layered drinks and a “SlushAssist” temperature management system.[6][1]
- Context: Ninja has previously released the original SLUSHi professional model in 2024 at about $269.99, with campaigns and influencer partnerships planned for broader adoption; the 2026 twist appears to be a premium, faster-evolving iteration aimed at at-home use and party settings.[4][5]

If you’d like, I can pull up more details on where to buy, availability in your region (Los Angeles), or compare the Slushi Twist specs with the original SLUSHi and other Ninja drink machines. I can also track current stock alerts or help you set up notifications from Ninja's site.
