Not on sale, but in stock
Ninja Slushi
$299.99 at Ninja Kitchen
If any certain type of countertop kitchen appliance is your 2024 Black Friday goal, Ninja probably has one on sale.
Black Friday Ninja deals are popping off this year, especially at Amazon, which has been in official Black Friday mode since Nov. 21. The list of classic Ninja air fryers and air frying toaster ovens, blenders, coffee makers, and more on sale is even beating that of October Prime Day Ninja deals in terms of the percentage off — several appliances have already beaten their previous record-low price just seen at Amazon last month.
Oddly enough, the one category where Ninja is slacking is pressure cookers, despite that being the category that originated the famous “Foodi” name in the first place. Ninja seems to be letting Instant Pot have that spotlight back (though it still uses “Foodi” in titles for its some other multitasking appliances) to focus on a new wheelhouse: little treat machines. Two of Ninja’s most fun treat-making gadgets, the Ninja Creami ice cream maker and the Ninja Thirsti soda and sparkling water maker are, in fact, on sale for Black Friday, both for well under $200.

Now for the bad news: I realize there’s one major Ninja treat maker that ends with an “i” missing from that list. No, the Ninja Slushi probably won’t go on sale for Black Friday, but it is still in stock. You could hold out hope for a surprise Cyber Monday price drop, but given the number of times it has sold out since July and the fact that even more people will be shopping now because of Black Friday, it’s wiser to just order it at full price while you can still order it at all. You’ll understand when you’re happily sipping on a gingerbread milkshake or a frozen version of your favorite holiday cocktail in a week or two. (I would know— I was making frozen versions of all of my favorite drinks with the Slushi all summer, and it was an absolute delight to have in my kitchen.)
As of Nov. 26, the Ninja Slushi is currently only in stock at Ninja’s website for $299.99, and can also be pre-ordered at Crate & Barrel with an expected restock coming in early December. The Slushi occasionally pops up for immediate purchase at other big retailers, but if you see it going for more than $299.99, it’s a gouged MSRP.
At any rate, I’m tracking all of the best Black Friday Ninja deals below including deals on the Ninja Creami, which is my number one alternate suggestion if the Slushi isn’t in the cards right now. Note: Any deal marked with a 🔥 has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon.

Why we like it
Before the internet was freaking out over the Ninja Slushi, it was freaking out over the Ninja Creami. And I get it: Being able to make ice cream in literally whatever flavor you want without leaving the house is a reason to live. If your sweet tooth would choose hand-dipped ice cream over a super sweet frozen marg anyway, your decision between the two isn’t even hard.
The cheapest Ninja Creami I’ve seen so far this Black Friday season is at Walmart, where the Creami is on sale for $149. (This beats Amazon’s price on a slightly different Creami model by $10). Though the Creami can’t make frozen drinks like the Slushi can, it obviously has the ice cream advantage — both machines also have milkshake overlap. Sorbet is also exclusively a Creami thing (cranberry orange mimosa sorbet for the holiday party, hello?), and this version of the Creami even has a dedicated button for lite ice cream.
