Frequently Asked Questions

What slushy machines does The Slushie Co. offer?

The Slushie Co. offers single-bowl, dual-bowl, and triple-bowl commercial slushy machines for hire across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane/Gold Coast, and Adelaide.

Can I hire a slushy machine for my event?

Yes, The Slushie Co. offers slushy machine hire across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane/Gold Coast, and Adelaide. Single-bowl hire starts from $145, double-bowl from $170, and triple-bowl from $260. Each hire package includes delivery, setup, flavour syrup, cups, straws, and next-day collection. Book at least 1–2 weeks before your event to secure availability.

How do I make a booking?

Bookings can be made via enquiry. Simply call or email our team and we’ll confirm availability, pricing, and logistics. If you’re also planning desserts alongside drinks, you may want to consider soft serve machine hire or even a hire chocolate fountain to create a complete event setup. 

Can I get a slushy machine at short notice?

Last-minute slushy machine hire is sometimes available, subject to machine availability — especially in summer when demand peaks. We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks before your event, and 4+ weeks for December/January events. Contact us directly by phone for the fastest response on urgent requests.

How long does a slushy machine take to be ready?

Most commercial slushy machines are ready to serve in 20–40 minutes. Pre-chill your liquid mix in the fridge for at least 2 hours before adding it to the machine — this can cut freeze time to as little as 15–20 minutes. For outdoor summer events, allow 60 minutes. The Slushie Co. recommends starting the machine at least 45 minutes before your first guest arrives. 

Do the slushy mixes contain alcohol?

No, all slushy mixes supplied by The Slushie Co. are 100% non-alcoholic. This makes them suitable for kids’ parties, school events, and corporate functions. Adults are welcome to add their own spirits to individual serves if desired. The Slushie Co. also offers a dedicated range of cocktail-inspired flavours (strawberry daiquiri, margarita, pina colada) — all non-alcoholic until alcohol is added by guests. 

Is delivery included with hire bookings?

Yes, all The Slushie Co. hire packages include delivery, professional setup, and next-day collection. Our team will arrive in advance of your event to set up the machine, demonstrate operation, and ensure everything is running correctly. A delivery fee may apply depending on your location and postcode — enter your suburb at checkout or contact us for a delivery quote.
