A popular $45 item from one major department store had been compared to a version over seven times the price.
Kmart’s Frozen Drink Maker retails for $45, with the product reportedly being compared to a $399.99 Ninja Creami product that is popular on social media and can make everything from ice cream to frozen drinks.
Chloe Dillon took to video sharing app TikTok to share that she had purchased the Kmart appliance, saying she immediately waned to make a frozen margarita with it.
Social media users had a huge reaction to the item, which has sold out online, according to the Kmart website.
“I’m pregnant rn with anaemia and I’m getting that just to make crushed ice,” one social media user commented.
“I work at Kmart. I got put in home and IT WENT OUTTA STOCK SO QUICK. I had to go to the back too many times. I got asked sm too,” another said.
One added, “I’ve been to two Kmarts and it’s been out of stock, anyway I’m trying again tomorrow.”
Another social media user commented: “I think this is a good investment.”
“I got this months ago from Kmart and don’t know how to use it,” one added.
Another social media user commented: “I’m going to buy this when Kmart opens in seven hours.”
A Kmart spokesperson told news.com.au fans were loving the frozen drink maker.
“The Kmart Frozen Drink Maker is the ultimate summer accessory, combining affordability with fun,” the Kmart spokesperson said.
“At just $45, it’s a great value for creating slushies and smoothies at home, making it ideal for parties, family gatherings, or just cooling off during a hot day.
“Its sleek, compact design ensures it won’t take up much counter space, and it’s easy to use, meaning both kids and adults can enjoy it.
“Whether you’re blending up fresh fruit drinks or whipping up frosty treats, this product is a must-have for the season.”
It’s not the first time a Kmart product has been compared to Ninja Creami with the Anko Mini Ice Cream Maker also being hailed as a dupe for the brand.
Arabella was a fan of the item, telling her fans to “run” to Kmart after discovering the item last year.
“Ninja Creami who,” she captioned the clip.
However, Julie Campbell said she was on the fence about the $15 product after testing it out but said she would try again and follow the instructions to a tee.
