Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best ice cream maker I have seen. Its easy to use and make clean up nice and easy.

Fun but not sure it’s worth storage or counter space.

Great product and save lots of money making your own ice cream or milkshake

I like it alot im making more ice creams than ever. Its simple to operate and easy to clean.

The item works as advertised! Im glad that I made this purchase.

Makes ice cream in just a couple minutes. Made a great gift.

I didnt like it at all you had to mix ingredients together first and let set for 10 minutes then add remaining incgredients. Freeze 24 hrs if I want ice cream dont want too wait 2 days to get it !!!!

Who knew making ice cream and frozen treats could be so easy? I've never attempted to make ice cream before, but definitely like eating ice cream. I figured this product would allow me to make healthier alternatives to store bought ice cream and I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to use! The Creami comes with a book of 30 recipes that include ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshakes, and smoothies. You can make your ice cream / frozen treat bases from scratch or use store bought ice cream when you don't already have some made up to make milkshakes or to use the mix-in feature and make Blizzard style treats. The possibilities are endless! There is also an entire Ninja Foodie community online that has even more recipes and ideas! I'll try to breakdown my review into the pros and cons of the Creami that I found... PROS: - The treat recipes that I tried are super easy to make and taste delicious! The online community of recipes was a nice surprise too! - The Creami looks great on the counter and is about the same size as my programmable coffee maker. - It feels solid and well-made and comes with a 1 year warranty. - Easy to use! The preset buttons make it a breeze to choose the proper setting for your treat. - The Mix-In feature that allows you to gently mix in extra ingredients at the end of the blending process. This allows the extra ingredients to stay in pieces throughout the mix. - Easy to clean! The parts are dishwasher safe, and the mixing blade comes out easily for cleaning and locks back into place easily. - The Respin option that quickly remixes your treat if you want to refreeze part of a pint and eat later. CONS: - You need to freeze your homemade bases for 24 hours, so unless you want to use store bought ice cream for milkshakes or mix-ins you'll need to plan your treats a day in advance. - The Creami is a bit louder than I was expecting. Similar to a blender. - The 3 pint sized mixing containers that come with the Creami, and the time it takes to mix each one kind of limits this to how many people can be served at a time. The mixing can take anywhere from 1 to 3.5 minutes, depending on what you're making, so it's probably not something you would want to attempt to use to serve more than a few people at a time. I think this product is a lot of fun to use and will be on my counter for years to come. Looking forward to try more of the amazing recipes that are in the provided book and online! I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

I have been a fan of Ninja products for many years. I have particularly enjoyed the Ninja Foodi which I use regularly. The Foodi was a innovative product which ingeniously paired a pressure cooker with an air fryer. When I heard that Ninja was releasing an ice cream maker called the Creami I eagerly anticipated it’s arrival. I was not disappointed. Ninja has yet again brilliantly reimagined another appliance, this time the ice cream maker, with amazing results. In the box you find the Creami, 3 Creami pints & 3 lids, the outer bowl & lid, the Creamerizer paddle, a quick start guide, and a recipe booklet. I was pleased that 3 pint containers were included. The Creami is fairly imposing with dimensions at 15.92 inches tall by 12.07 inches deep by 6.52 inches wide. The quality of all the components is very impressive. Looking through the recipe book and it’s mouthwatering offerings had me debating what to try first. The Creami isn’t just an ice cream maker. It also makes lite ice creams, sorbets, milkshakes, smoothie bowls, and gelato. So many options and so many recipes. Just keep in mind you can’t just mix ingredients and instantly have a frozen dessert. That’s where Ninja has reimagined the making of ice cream treats. With the Creami you mix a frozen treat base, pour it into the Creami pint, and freeze it for 24 hours. You then insert the frozen pint into the Creami and it processes the frozen base by breaking it down with its Creamerizer paddle and its powerful 800 watt motor turning it into a creamy dessert. What a great idea. With 3 Creami pints you can create and freeze 3 different bases so they’re ready to go at any time. You can of course purchase additional pints too. To give you even more recipe options you can even add a multitude of ingredients using the Mix In mode. Here you can add candies, fruits, cookies and mix them into an already Creamerized base Yummy! I opted to start with ice cream and sorbet for my first Creami treats. I made a trip to the grocery store for an assortment of ingredients and canned fruits. I mixed my bases according to the recipes and popped it in the freezer. The recipes suggest that you can use fresh pineapple, oranges, bananas, and berries for a sorbet base. Or you can use canned fruits in syrup or juice. You just pop the frozen Creami pint into the outer bowl and insert the Creamerizer paddle into the lid. Close the lid and raise it into position. You then select the one touch button for the frozen treat you’re making. The Creami is loud as it does it’s thing. Surprisingly loud. The Creamerizer paddle lowers through the frozen base, cutting through and mixing the base and then it raises back to its starting position. It takes about 90 seconds from start to finish. I made a strawberry ice cream and an apricot sorbet. I frankly could not believe the amazing end results. The ice cream was rich and creamy and perfectly mixed. The sorbet was incredible. Particularly considering my base was simply a can of apricots in syrup and yet the flavor and consistency was remarkably delicious. I was utterly sold on another Ninja appliance. I immediately started planning my next recipes. So far I’ve tried mango, peach, pear, and orange sorbets with consistently impressive results. I have also made chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips, Oreo vanilla, and cinnamon bun. Oh my! I can’t wait to explore more recipes and creations of my own. The flavor possibilities are endless. The milk shakes are great too. I look forward to trying a gelato and the smoothie bowl option. Ninja has done it again. Highly recommended.

Works great, several options to include keto options

I was very disappointed in this. I have only used it once. I guess it is my own fault for not researching it enough. You have to freeze this ahead of time so while its an ice cream maker you don't just add ingredients and go. You have to decide the day before and put it all in the cup and freeze it. Just not what I thought I was buying. I did get a great price though. Maybe eventually I will have time for it.

Loved it to begin with but the blade overheated and burned off. Similar to striping a screw. Second one now.

You have to run this 2 or 3 cycles to get anything spoonable

Sadly the one I got was defective and had to return it. I followed the instructions exactly and the rotating bottoms that lifts the cup into place was clunky. I got about 3 good uses out of it and the recipes were good. But then one day when I thought I got it, the machine worked and then the cup got stuck and wouldn’t rotate back down and smelled like something was burning.

The Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is a fantastic small kitchen appliance for anybody that enjoys homemade ice cream or frozen products like sorbet, milkshakes, gelato, and many more. Best of all, it is easy and intuitive to use. Unpacking the three pint containers, outer bowl, paddle, and motor unit (and getting them all setup) takes just a couple minutes. The base is about 16 inches tall and 12 inches deep, and is built very durably. This isn't a particularly small appliance in size, but compared to other homemade ice cream makers this unit is small. It comes with a manual that explains the steps to making your first pint clearly and an excellent recipe guide that includes everything from the decadent to some healthier paleo options. The first step is to prepare the base in one of the pint containers and freeze it for at least 24 hours. After that, put the frozen container into the outer bowl, insert the paddle and put on the lid to the outer bowl, and then put the outer bowl into the motor unit. Next, power up the motor unit and push one of the program choices on the unit, which includes ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, slush, mix-in, and re-spin. The motor unit will begin processing your frozen treat automatically. It isn't particularly loud, especially compared to the loud motor noises typical in other homemade ice cream makers. The unit will sense when the product is ready and will stop at the appropriate time. You can remove the product at that time and eat, or add mix-in products of your choice. If mixing-in, there is another step with the unit to get those things mixed into the product thoroughly. The processing seems to take about 4 minutes at most, and it makes an amazing product. I tried one of the ice cream recipes and one of the milkshake recipes, and they were fantastic. The ice cream was creamy and smooth, and the mix-in was perfectly mixed through the entire pint. The milkshake was a White Russian recipe that was amazing on a hot day. I appreciated that the recipe book included ideas for taking items that I already had in the pantry and fridge and turning them into frozen treats. Clean up was quick, as all of the items can be either hand washed or washed in the top rack of a dishwasher. The only negative that comes to mind is that it only makes a pint so it probably is not the appropriate product for large family get-togethers or parties. But if you are looking for a product that can you help you to make delicious, quick, and easy frozen treats, the Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker is exactly what you are looking for to assist.

We were really excited to love this. We liked it but returned it. The product never turned out creamy like store bought. It took multiple mixing to get close. We love the ability to create healthy treats, the texture was just off.

Neutral, wasn’t as impressive as I thought it would be

Not an ice cream maker but it does make some good milkshakes

Broke after using for a month. Getting a replacement to Hawaii would have been $180 dollar in shipping. I am stationed here for the Army, cant control where I live. Customer service said “Hawaii is not in America so shipping is higher”. Not worth the money for something that broke so soon.

Don't know yet. It is a Christmas gift for my wife.
