Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using the Creami for about a week and in that time we made three pints of ice cream. This is my first ice cream "maker" and if I had known it was this easy, I would have started making my own ice cream a long time ago! Although this is my first ice cream maker, I have looked at other brands and machines and what makes the Creami different is it doesn't "freeze" the ice cream. Instead you freeze it first in the provided pint containers, then use the machine to "blend" the results. In that way, it's more of a fancy blender (although don't use it at such) vs. what I would consider a traditional ice cream maker. There's no tubs to pre-freeze and you don't need to have ice, cold water or salt avaialble. It includes a recipe book with a lot of great recipes - I can't wait to try them all. The basic recipe for either a vanilla or chocolate "base" uses milk, heavy cream and cream cheese. Once the base is frozen (they advise 24 hours), you use the machine to "cream" the base, then add in "blend ins" like nuts, cookies, etc. and mix again. The consistency and mouthfeel of the ice cream it produced is very similar, if not identical to ice cream we've had from local craft ice cream shops. The only downsides are the mixing "bowl" is plastic and has a lot of nooks and crannies to clean and the machine only includes one paddle, so you'll need to wash it between uses if you are making/mixing multiple flavors in one session.

I’ll start by saying that this product is a bit of a novelty item. Not everyone is going to need this machine. I say this because the machine actually doesn’t “make the ice cream” you still have to put in the work to prepare your cream base and freeze it for a day. So just know that. Don’t expect this machine to make the ice cream in an instant. That being said, I do appreciate what this product provides. Especially since I have a lot of nephews. They had a blast “making their own ice cream”. I do like the pint containers that come included. They allow easy storage of ice cream in your freezer and since there is 3 of them. You can make different flavors at a time. They are easy to clean and very sturdy. The machine itself is more of a processor. It will blend up and turn your frozen cream base into a soft serve ice cream. The product comes with a recipe book for ice creams, milk shakes, sorbets. Once you make a couple , you’ll get a feel for making the cream base and will want to experiment with different ingredients. The kids enjoyed mixing in their own cookies and treats into their ice cream and milk shakes. It is fairly foolproof to use with all the preset buttons and very easy to clean. Would I recommend this to a friend? I would but only if you enjoying spending time to make your own ice cream and deserts. I could see this being very useful to anyone with kids or who just loves to make ice cream and milk shakes.

I got this as a birthday gift for my partner, and I’m so thankful he shares his ice cream with me. Yes, it is loud for a minute. Yes, we do blend it twice. It’s so worth it though. We can each make our own flavors with the multiple containers it comes with. Cleaning is not nearly as bad as some reviews I’ve seen make it out to be- just rinse with hot water right after spinning and wash with soap when you do your dishes! This has become a big part of our routine now that we can make low calorie or dairy free ice cream at home. It’s honestly paying for itself by saving me from having to buy overpriced non-dairy ice cream and the ingredients can be as affordable or extravagant as you choose. The only downside I can think of is that it takes up a good chunk of counter space in our small apartment, but it’s still so worth it.

Awesome machine. Takes minutes to whip up a base for ice cream. You can make it as healthy or as indulgent as you want. I use a chocolate protein shake recipe as my go to recipe. Tastes better than store ice cream, with maybe 1/4 the calories and more protein. You really can't ask for more than that. A few small cons - It's very loud; It takes several respins before you get to the right consistency (which just means it probably takes 5-7 minutes total to make ice cream from the base); you have to wait 24 hours from when you make the base in order to make the ice cream. Overall, I'd still say this is an amazing purchase!

I recently got the Ninja Creami, and it’s been a total hit. It makes super creamy ice cream, sorbet, and gelato with ease. The texture is smooth and perfect, and you can easily customize flavors and add-ins like chocolate chips or fruit. It’s also great for making healthier options with your own ingredients. The only downside is that you have to freeze your base overnight, so it’s not instant gratification, but once it’s ready, it’s totally worth it. Overall, if you love homemade ice cream, the Ninja Creami is a great buy.

Very easy to use, and the ice cream is very good! I would say it is kind of loud, but worth it!

I have used the creami for years. Being a bodybuilder, it’s my go to for protein ice cream. I bought this one for my daughter as gift. Honestly I can say I can’t live without it. It is a little noisy, but only for a short time. I spin mine twice because I like a light and fluffy consistency. Always have extra containers made up in the freezer. Just change up the protein powder flavor for a different ice cream flavor. They make so many flavors now it’s very easy to have a variety.

Easy to use and like recipe book included. When i read the Best Buy description is stated the Creamer came with 3 ice cream cups but it actually only had 2. I like the pint size and dessert come out great. You have to freeze ingredients for 24 hours and the mixture must be leveled in pint container.

Pretty good product, definitely on the loud side but with a few spins does the job.

The Ninja Creami has revolutionized my kitchen experience, earning it a well-deserved 5-star rating. This remarkable machine effortlessly transforms ordinary ingredients into an array of delightful frozen treats. Its versatility, ease of use, powerful performance, and thoughtful design make it a must-have. Whether it's velvety ice creams, silky sorbets, or delectable frozen yogurt, the Ninja Creami never fails to amaze. Prepare to embark on a journey of culinary bliss that will leave your taste buds begging for more.

Great product, makes ice cream and other items. Pretty easy to use, but sometimes the container gets stuck on the unit. Need to be careful taking the container off.

First things first, it’s very loud. But that does not grant it a negative review in any way due to the nature of Ninja appliances and what it needs to do. Had kitchen aid attachments to make ice cream but was not impressed with how it worked and with that possible coolant liquid draining into the mix. But this Ninja creami makes a consistent and great ice cream with so little that I no longer need to go buy a pint at the supermarket. I can pronounce all my ingredients and it tastes amazing

Great for a cold snack in this heat. Easy to use and a variety of flavors you can make

The results are excellent the machine is just very noisy. I definitely recommend it.

I have made so many different pints for me and my family. I have been wanting one for quite a while now and was so happy I finally committed to the purchase. Just keep in mind that it's quite loud. Other than that, it's perfect.

The only drawback to the Creami, you have to wait 24 hours of freezing to process the ice cream. A helpful tip for those lactose intolerant: Substitute: - whole lactose free milk for the milk - lactose free creamer for the heavy cream - lactose free cream cheese for the Philly Cream Cheese NOTE: It actually turns out better with these ingredients than with the heavy cream and cream cheese. I would also recommend buying a few extra containers, two pints with 5 ice cream eaters don't last long. Another tip, don't be afraid to respin. Some of the recipes will get flaky if your freezer is too cold. This is true especially with the frogurt. Basically dump 14 oz of favorite yogurt in a container, freeze and spin. I find it is not as creamy after a couple days so a respin is needed and it helps to allow it to warm a bit to get back to creamy. Enjoy and don't be afraid to be creative.

I knew the Ninja Creami was good, but I didn’t expect it to be THIS good. It makes perfect ice cream using simple ingredients like yogurt and whey protein, and you can create so many different flavor combinations. I’m absolutely loving it! It’s healthy, super practical, and I’ve been using it every single day — it’s officially my favorite sweet treat now. I even bought 4 extra containers so I can always have different mixes ready to go. Honestly, 10/10. No complaints at all!

Gift for son in law, works well so far. He has bought more containers but says it’s pretty good after finding the best way to make the creamiest and likes that they can make protein shakes also.

Excellent product! Use it everyday!!! makes delicious ice cream!

great ice cream maker, easy to use. lots of use coming up
