Review on 🍹 Bali Frozen Concoction Maker with Self-Dispensing Lever and Auto Remix Channel, DM3500 by Margaritaville by Heather Genevish

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Makes great frozen drinks

I stayed in an apartment in Florida over Memorial Day weekend and the apartment had a Key West version which was great too. I bought Bali because of the dispenser option, and while I don't regret my decision, just be aware that Bali doesn't have a detachable pitcher like Key West. The Key West jug is perfect if you want to take it out and pour the contents into another jug or freezer container, although the overall size of the beverage container is smaller than Bali's. Bali forces you to consume drinks halfway or they will melt (NOTE: Our Bali is located in a covered outdoor pavilion). At large gatherings, melting isn't a problem as the drinks are consumed as quickly as they are produced. All of this to say that Bali proved to be a great choice for our medium to large meeting use case. For smaller gatherings or infrequent use I would recommend Key West. I haven't had any leaks as some have reported and it has worked flawlessly at least a dozen times in the past month. Cleaning is also very easy: run dish soap through, then run a clean water cycle a couple of times. A NOTICE. We didn't mix drinks with fruit, so not sure about cleaning effort in this case. Overall it's a bit pricey but it was a hit with a few gatherings around the pool and I'm glad I went from Bali. If I were to buy Key West it would certainly work just as well if I put in a little more effort, but the Bali dispenser and its large capacity are enough convenience to justify the purchase. Finally, I bought an extended warranty instead of lots of low durability ratings. Hope that helps.
