 Searching for that lost shaker of salt while making a Perfect Margarita June 13, 2008

When the Margaritaville DM2000 Premium Frozen Concoction Maker arrived it was very easy to setup. The instructions were straightforward and in no time the step-by-step instructions had the machine ready to produce some delicious frozen beverages. The craftsmanship and quality were apparent at the onset, and the weight of the machine gave a certain feel of durability. My guests commented that they loved the look of the machine, and the brushed-nickel finish really made it stand out.
I loaded it up with ice, utilizing bagged ice from a local grocery store mixed with ice from my refrigerator ice maker and looked at the instructions to see which drink I wanted to make. I then choose from four preprogrammed drink cycles; margaritas, daiquiris, slides, (mudslides) or smoothies, and then decided whether I wanted one, two or three drink settings. I then flipped the automatic Shave-N-Blend switch, and the machine automatically mixed the right proportion of ice with ingredients and timed it just right. If you decide at the end of the drink cycle that you need more ice or blending simply flip the switch to blend or shave to add what you so desire. I followed the instructions denoting exact amounts of liquids per drink as written in the included recipe book and the first batch of Margaritas came out perfectly.
It is truly a four step machine, add ice, select your drink and size, add your favorite mix, and flip the automatic Shave-n-Blend switch and within seconds your favorite concoction will be ready. The great part about this machine is that if you get guests that prefer thicker or thinner drinks simply flip the switch to blend a little more ice or just blend without adding ice. It's just that simple, and best of all if you leave the ice sit in the ice bin for an extended period of time the melting runoff collects in a clear reservoir located on the back of the machine. No more thin flavored soupy Margaritas or watered down Mudslides!
The varieties of drinks are endless but the cleanup is not. The glass-blending jar has a unique retro look that lends itself to easy stability when in use with a large glass handle and drip free spout. It's also great for simply shaving ice for snow cones and adding your favorite syrup and finishing off with a spoon. No matter what the size of your party this machine stands up to mountains of blending action. As long as you have ice to blend and mix to add the Fiji FCM will consistently churn out the proper Margarita, Daiquiri, Mudslide or Smoothie.
When you've mastered the Fiji FCM your friends will be asking you to be the Frozen Drink Master at their next party and with the FCM Carrying Bag you can take your machine on the road. The bag is made of water repellent canvas and designed to transport and store the Fiji FCM with straps that hold the pitcher in place during transportation. Simply slide your lost shaker of salt and fresh limes in the side pocket, grasp the nylon carrying handles and head to Margaritaville. You and your friends will have a blast using the Fiji FCM, so get one today, blend up a drink or two and hang on!
Great machine June 1, 2008

The machine is nice looking, and works great. My only complaint is the plastic part that covers the power cord is flimsy and for $350 plus it shouldn't be. Other than that, I am very happy with the great drinks it makes, it takes a few times to master how much mix and ice go it for perfection as no one is going to measure everything out when your having a party, but practice makes perfect. I learned
1. If you put too much liquid in and it comes out too watery, all you need to do is hit the "shave ice" only lever, and it will add more ice and blend.
2. There is NEVER enough liquor in the mixes, like Friday's Margarita's etc... you have to add extra liquor or it has no kick at all.
The machine blends the mixture and the liquor in the blender, then shaves ice and drops it in to the blender, then mixes it all up, adds more shaved ice, mixes it up and WALA great frozen drinks!!
Love my Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker!!!

Been eying this machine for a while but could never quite justify the cost. Lo and behold I received it as a perfect gift! While the price is high, this Concoction Maker does turn out perfect drinks! In the hot summer here in Vegas this machine will definitely be put through its paces, but judging from early results this baby will be rendering lots of frozen concoctions that will help me hang on.
If you can afford to splurge this is definitely the blender to get!

In the quest for the perfect margarita, I've purchased 7 different machines in the past couple of years. The results range from pretty bad to decent. Even with the rental type slushy machines you have to put up with the nasty, syrupy sweet "mix" of chemicals. First batch out of this whomping big drinkerator was perfect. I was a little skeptical, even with very good reviews, that this thing would work as advertised. I do only get two batches out of this thing with the reservoir filled, but I just have a separate ice bucket to "pre-melt" the ice for the subsequent batches. I tried just about everything I could think of to throw the machine a curve, and it just kept making perfect drinks. Just keep in mind the liquid proportions in the drinks you make. As long as you end up with the right amount of liquid, you can make about anything you want and it will turn out right. And you can skip the pre-made mix and use just fresh ingredients. Thanks, Margaritaville (I mean, Cheers!).
 most excellent gift! April 26, 2008

I received this as a gift a week ago and our whole family has been loving it! It took a few tries to get the liquid measurements down to match the ice but after that we've been cruising. The kids love the smoothie and "virgin" 'colada recipies. It didn't take long for our friends to hear about the new toy and we're now making up our own margarita recipes . We can't wait to try it out on the patio this summer!
