About Slush Machine Hire Perth
Q. How much will it cost to hire a Slush Machine for the night?
A. The price of the Slushy Machines depends on the option you choose and the suburb it is to be delivered to as well as the 'special' price if applied at the time. If your party is in a hall or on a boat extra charges may apply. Please click here for Slushy Machine prices.
Q. How many flavours do you have to choose from?
A. We now have over 40 different flavours to choose from. I have spent a lot of time testing and photographing these flavours to help make you event one to remember.
Q. Do I need to supply the alcohol? How do I know what I need?
A. Yes you will need to supply the alcohol. The flavours you pick will determine what alcohol you require. If you look at our Slushy Flavours page you will see the alcohol requirements for each flavour.
Q. Do I have to put alcohol in them or can I leave them non-alcoholic?
A. You can leave them non-alcoholic if you prefer. We do have 6 flavours which are designed as non-alcoholic flavours, similar to what you would find at a cafe or your local Shopping Centre. The other slushy flavours are also suitable to leave as non-alcoholic flavours.
Q. If I put the recommended alcohol in the mix, how strong will they be?
A. Most of the flavours require 2 x 700ml bottles of spirits, these will make your chosen flavours between 5% and 5.5% ALC/VOL.
Q. Can I add more Alcohol?
A. No, Alcohol doesn't freeze, so if you put more alcohol in than recommended your Slushy Machine won't be able to get slushy.
Q. Can I put less Alcohol in?
A. Yes you can, this will have no effect on the operation of the slush machine. If you put 1 x 700ml bottle of spirits in your drink it would work out to be between about 2.0% and 3% ALC/VOL. Or similar to having a light beer.
Q. How many drinks will I get from my Slushy Machine?
A. If you book a 2 Bowl Slush Machine you will get about 120 200ml drinks, if you book a 3 Bowl Slush Machine you will get about 180 200ml drinks. We have different Slushy Machine Hire packages available.
Q. Do you charge delivery?

Q. What if my slush machine breaks down?
A. We will fix the machine or replace it. Here at Cosmic Cocktails & Events we have never missed a party, we have a technician on standby and back up machines to ensure your party is a success.
Q. What do the Slushy Machines sit on?
A. You will need to supply a strong table or bench that will be able to hold up-to 100 kg. Glass top tables and plastic tables are not suitable. If you don't have a suitable table, you may hire one from us like our trestle table.
Q. Will I need to setup the slushie machine?
A. Not at all. The slushie machines are quite heavy and that's why we use a special trolley. We are one of the few companies who fully set up your slushie machine. We will place your slushy machine in a suitable location, on a suitable table with access to power, fill your slushy machine with the required slushy flavours and turn your machine on. Why? Because we check your machine to make sure everything is operating correctly. If there is a problem our staff are able to fix most problems straight away or call the technician for larger problems. Our set up procedures ensure your party is the successful event you planned. At the end of the night all you need to do is turn the machine off. We then return the next day for pick up. Be sure to read our reviews on the left hand side of this page or check out our testimonials.
Q. Can I use a power-board to run the slushy machine?
A. No, power-boards tend to trip out when the machines are plugged in with other items. Our 3 Bowl Slushy Machines draw between 6 to 8 amps, power-boards are only rated to 10 amps.
Q. Can I order extra mixes? How much are they?
A. Yes you can. The refill slush mixes or back up mixes are $25 if you use them, if you don't use them we will just take them back. The refills make up another full bowls worth, just remember you may also need extra alcohol. When ordering online just tick the box for refills and we will bring one for each of your chosen flavours.

A. Yes you can. We have a full range of plastic cups and glasses to hire.

Q. My party is on a boat, are there extra charges?
A. Yes, most of the boats only have a 10 to 15 minute time limit at the jetty for pick up and drop off. This gives us a limited time for delivery and pick up of your machine. Please contact us for an exact quote for your function. We can not put a 3 bowl on most boats.
