**** How to use your Margarator****


Let’s say we want a virgin Margarita (That’s typically what we use ours for), depending on how much you want to make, combine your Margarita mix with the soda you prefer (we use Sprite Zero) to desired taste and add ice. Place lid onto the Margarator, raise handle to lock lid in place and turn your lean, green slush machine on. Let run for approximately 8 minutes and with machine still on, place your glass/cup under spout and press down to release your thick, icy drink.

**** UP side to having the Margarator****

1) It keeps your drinks cold for quite a while. So while you, your company, or your family sit around enjoying the drinks you have just made, the rest that was left will remain cold for an hour or more (depending on how much was left and how much ice you used)
2) Easy to clean. Simply detach the upper portion of the machine and clean with warm soapy water. (Do not immerse in water the lower portion of the machine where your cord plugs in)
3) Separates easily for storage.
4) Can make your own slush drinks any time, night or day right in your own kitchen. Have a craving for a Cherry Icee at midnight and live 10 minutes from your nearest convenient store that sells your favorite kind, simply lock together the top half and bottom half, combine your flavors, soda, mixes and ice and in less than 10 minutes your drink is ready. And you didn’t even have to put your pants on to get it. ;o)

****Down side****

1) It does take up space on the counter or under the counter. (Where ever you choose to store it)
2) Not toooo loud, but it is kind of loud. After all, it is grinding ice down to nearly nothing.
3) Lock for lid is not all that sturdy, made of plastic. Ours broke before our fourth use and the lock is necessary for the machine to run. (A safety precaution to keep fingers from getting caught in the blades and injured) Even though our lock broke, we were still able to improvise by just putting something on the lid to hold it in place.
4) More frequent and severe headaches due to brain freeze.

At this point you are probably wondering about the price of Nostalgia’s Margarator Margarita & Frozen Drink Maker. I’m not certain if this is going to be good news for you or bad news for you. The average price is over $80.00. I have found it at Home Shopping Network on sale for $60.00. Fortunately, I found it new, still in box at… (You guessed it) Goodwill for only $24.99. Was it worth it? Yes. Is it worth $60? Yes. Would I buy it for $60? Yes, absolutely, without a doubt….
