My favourite Ninja summer gadget has been slashed by £70 in a rare deal

My favourite Ninja summer gadget has been slashed by £70 in a rare deal

The Sun5 days ago
I'VE BEEN obsessed with the Ninja Slushi ever since it launched last November.
I finally got my hands on this gadget during the heatwave in June, and wrote about it in my Ninja Slushi review.
After testing it extensively, I can confidently say it's one of the most fun kitchen appliances I've ever used.
Now, in a rare twist, it's been discounted as part of Ninja's Summer Sale, meaning shoppers can save £70 right now.
BUY HERE
Usually priced at £349.99, the Slushi is now available for £279.99 with the code NINJA20.
This sale runs until August 12, giving customers plenty of time to consider the purchase.
However, if you want to make Slushies this summer, I'd recommend acting now — it's rare for this gadget to be discounted, and I don't see its price tag being slashed again until Black Friday in November.
It wouldn't even be a surprise to see it sell out; after all, shelves were emptied repeatedly upon its launch in the US last year, with some reports alleging that it sold out a massive 15 times.
Why the Ninja Slushi is worth It
At £350 full price, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Slushi is an expensive one-trick pony.
And you might be right; there's certainly no way of framing it as a responsible purchase (unless you've been spending hundreds of pounds on takeaway slushies every year).
And, as I've seen other people point out, it's certainly not the sort of appliance you'll be using every day.
I'd argue it's a party piece.
While you might not use it super regularly, when you do, people won't be able to stop talking about it.

Every time I've had people over to my house since I got it, I've got it out, and the look on people's faces when they see a Slushie machine whirring away in your kitchen is golden.
And this machine does more than just make slushies; it has five preset functions, allowing you to easily whip up frappés, milkshakes, frozen cocktails, and juices.
It's big enough to ten sensibly-sized servings in one go, which makes it perfect for gatherings.
One of the things I love most is how easy it is to customise your drinks.
The adjustable temperature settings allow you to tweak the consistency to suit your taste, and there's even a handy alert system that lets you know if your recipe needs more sugar or less alcohol to freeze properly.
After experimenting with Ninja's recipes and ideas from the Ninja Slushi Enthusiasts Facebook group, I've discovered countless ways to use it, from tropical slushies to dangerously delicious frozen cocktails.
Why it's worth buying now
BUY HERE
Here's the thing — the Ninja Slushi doesn't often go on sale.
It's been a successful product for SharkNinja — as I mentioned, it perpetually sold out for months following its launch in the US, meaning there's been little reason for the brand to slash its price tag.
It was excluded from Prime Day deals last month, and I personally haven't seen it dip below £340.
This £70 saving is one of the few opportunities to grab it for less.
The timing couldn't be better either, with summer still in full swing and plenty of opportunities to make the most of it.
If you've been eyeing up the Slushi, now's the time to go for it.

Ukraine's PM speaks to US Treasury Secretary about investment fund

Aug 5 (Reuters) - Ukraine's prime minister said on Tuesday that she and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had discussed prospects for completing the first three projects of a new investment fund within its first 18 months of operation. Yulia Svyrydenko, the main driving force behind the creation of the fund, said she and Bessent had discussed the fund's operations and "continuing and strengthening cooperation in the defense and investment sectors". "We are working on expanding its mandate so that the fund can also invest in the defense sector," Svyrydenko wrote in English on the X social media platform. "The first meeting of the board of directors is scheduled for September. The task is to launch the first three projects within 18 months." Svyrydenko was speaking to Bessent for the first time as prime minister since her appointment last month. As first deputy prime minister, she had signed the agreement setting up the fund in April as part of an accord, heavily promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump, to develop Ukraine's mineral resources. In her comments, Svyrydenko also said she and Bessent had discussed a potential broad defence agreement that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has cited regarding production and sale of Ukrainian drones. They also discussed the prospect of imposing tougher sanctions on Russia, a measure Ukraine has long sought. Trump has warned Russia that he will introduce more sanctions on Moscow if it does not make more progress on ending the war before a deadline set for Friday.

Banco BPM profit beats forecasts with Anima boost after UniCredit walks away

MILAN, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Banco BPM ( opens new tab on Tuesday beat profit expectations helped by fees earned through newly acquired fund manager Anima Holding, and confirmed the full-year outlook after staving off a takeover by larger peer UniCredit ( opens new tab. Banco BPM became a takeover target for UniCredit in November, soon after acquiring a stake in Monte dei Paschi di Siena ( opens new tab - stoking speculation about an eventual tie-up with the state-backed rival. The UniCredit bid, which collapsed last month after running into government opposition, is one of a dozen takeover offers reshaping Italian finance. Asked about Banco BPM's future M&A moves, CEO Giuseppe Castagna said his bank owned 9% of Monte dei Paschi (MPS), which could "show the way" forward but, in any case, it had to see first how MPS' current bid for Mediobanca ( opens new tab turned out. After UniCredit swooped on BPM, MPS launched an offer to acquire merchant bank Mediobanca which ends on Sept. 8. "We'll see what happens to MPS after the Mediobanca deal," Castagna said. Earnings for the three months through June are the first set of figures to include Anima, which Banco BPM managed to buy as it strived to fend off UniCredit. Second-quarter net profit stood at 704 million euros ($815 million), up from 380 million a year earlier and above an LSEG consensus estimate of 646 million euros. Revenues met expectations at 1.55 billion euros with a 9.6% rise in fees which more than offset a 3.9% decline in net interest income amid lower interest rates. The bank, which has long attracted takeover interest due to its roots in Italy's wealthy north, confirmed its full year net profit would be well 1.95 billion euros. Banco BPM's main shareholder is Credit Agricole ( opens new tab, a long-standing commercial partner. The French bank, which invested in BPM in 2022 to help its defence against UniCredit, recently bought derivatives to raise its holding to 20.1% and book a portion of BPM's earnings into its own accounts. The core capital ratio stood at 13.3% at the end of June, hit by Anima's acquisition but above BPM's 13% target, partly thanks to risk-transfer securitisation deals.($1 = 0.8639 euros)

Report: Putin could end aerial bombardment of Ukraine to avoid Trump sanctions

Russia is considering ending its aerial bombardment of Ukraine to avoid US trade sanctions on Friday, according to reports. The Kremlin would continue waging the conflict but would desist from rocket attacks on Ukraine's cities which serve no military purpose. This would be the first concession granted by Russia since the conflict began three and a half years ago, it if transpires. The Russian plot was reported by Bloomberg last night as US peace envoy Steve Witkoff was expected to travel to Moscow for talks. He is expected to hold urgent discussions with senior Kremlin officials today [Wednesday] in a bid to bring Russia to the negotiating table. Russia could face economic sanctions from Friday, affecting itself and trading partners such as China and India, unless Vladimir Putin agrees to talks. President Trump initially gave President Putin 50 days to strike a peace deal then cut the time to '10 to 12 days'. Ahead of the deadline, Russia has pulled out of a nuclear missile agreement intended to limit numbers of short to medium range missiles in Europe. Witkoff has been criticised for the tone of his previous visits to Russia. At times he has appeared fawning in Putin's presence and has failed to secure any concessions. After one meeting earlier this year, Putin presented Witkoff with a portrait of President Trump to take back to the White House. Yesterday afternoon [Tues], Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on social media he has spoken President Trump. But he did not mention the deadline. President Zelensky described their conversation as 'productive' with the 'key focus of course being ending the war'. He added Ukraine and the United States have 'coordinated our positions' while the Russians have 'intensified the brutality of their attacks'. President Trump's plan is to hit Russia with 'secondary tariffs' in a bid to end the war. These will punish states that purchase Russian energy supplies, making it more expensive for these countries to sell goods into the United States. As a major importer of Russian oil, India is particularly vulnerable. Its government has protested the unfairness of the strategy, claiming India's critics also import Russian goods. Trump has accused of India of 'fueling [Russia's] war machine'. India has called the 100 per cent secondary tariffs 'unjustified and unreasonable'. Ukraine claimed earlier this week that it has found Indian-made components inside Russian attack drones fired at its cities. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also said to be personally close to Putin. They appear to share a warm relationship and are economic allies. Putin is widely expected to ignore Trump's deadline. While the US President has repeatedly excused Putin's failure to agree peace terms. But with President Trump under pressure in the US over his connections to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, he may adopt a tougher stance towards Putin. President Trump signalled his intent last week by publicly stating he had repositioned a pair of US nuclear submarines closer to Russia to keep the Kremlin in check. Russia responded strongly declaring it was pulling out of a nuclear missile agreement due to 'destabilising actions' by Western powers.
