Stupid machine

I bought this neat slushie maker a couple of months ago after seeing it featured on the Today show...well DON'T buy it! Maggie reminded me I had it after I kept going to the store to buy slushies for her as that is the only thing she is drinking at the moment. So, into the basement I went to get it out and use it for the first time today. The thing does not work....it turned the liquid a few times and then stopped. After going online and reading reviews this is a common problem with it and people do not like it. HOW ANNOYING!!!
