Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Although it might not feel like it right now, warmer weather is on the horizon. If you’re struggling to picture yourself enjoying barbecues and banishing your winter coat for good, the good news is that Aldi has got just the thing to get you in the mood for summer.

The budget supermarket has been on a roll when it comes to delivering summer-worthy buys this year, with a range of limited-edition deals in its Specialbuys section.

So far we’ve had the hot tub, tiki garden bar, pizza oven, fire pit and the famous egg chair, which has sold out countless times.

But, we think its latest launch has the potential to surpass all others in popularity – an authentic Slush Puppie machine.

The retailer is launching the gadget as one of its online-only deals, meaning shoppers won’t find it in the famous middle aisle of the supermarket.

Costing £54.99, the machine is being sold as part of a bundle that includes everything you need to make delicious drinks and is available to buy now.

As is the case with many of Aldi’s Specialbuys though, customers will have to be quick to avoid disappointment as once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Whether you’re looking for a way to keep your children entertained during the summer or want to make some adult-only vodka slushies for garden parties, here’s everything you need to know about Aldi’s Slush Puppie machine.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.

If you missed your chance to get your hands on a Slush Puppie machine, the good news is that they are available to buy at other retailers.

However, it’s worth noting that Aldi’s deal is the best we’ve spotted as most other stores sell the machines separately to the accessories. But, if you’re willing to splash a little extra cash, you can buy one right now at the following places:

Of course, if you do buy one of these individual machines, you’ll also need to invest in some flavoured syrups so you can make the colourful chilled drinks, and we’ve tracked down two different versions you can pick up now.
