Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this thing! It makes homemade ice cream and other delicious goodies in seconds, and it comes with a recipe book full of great ideas. I'd recommend one to anybody.

I've had a few ice cream makers in the past, and they all had pretty much the same thing in common - they were a complicated and made a mess. This unit is relatively compact and good looking. If you're wanting to make ice cream pretty regularly, it's certainly worth the storage space and may even find a permanent home on the countertop. The recipes included all make ice cream, but other recipes I've found online have been easily adaptable. I also like the ability to load the container when you want to refresh and re-cream the ice cream. The main and only downside to this device is the volume. The creamerizer is essentially a spinning blade drill that's plunging into frozen cream. It's loud, and it takes several minutes to finish.

I was first surprised by how easy it was to make ice cream from scratch and how Ninja provided many recipes to try. With 3 cups available, I was able to create three different combinations of ice cream flavors to share with my friends during a party. There are other options besides creating ice creams such as smoothie or sorbet. Finally able to make sorbet without grabbing my food processor which now minimized my counter space compared to before.

I received this item for free from Best Buy and Ninja in exchange for my honest opinion.I was really excited to receive another Ninja product...I've used/had so many, and they've all blown my expectations out of the water. This one, though, failed to do that. Is it a handy gadget? I supposed...but...when you hear "ice cream maker," you think sweet, I'm going to make some ice cream when the craving strikes. Not with this machine, unfortunately, you have to plan at least 24 hours ahead if you want ice cream. Milkshakes are easy enough at the last minute, and there are a lot of great recipes on their website, but I am really disappointed about the ice cream making taking a whole day of planning to make. Yes, you can keep some pints already made and waiting in the freezer, but I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have the freezer space for that when I can just have a store-bought pint ready to go with less work.All my complaining aside, it seems like it is another solid Ninja machine, if you have patience, have the freezer space, and aren't a moody eater like me.

Great machine! I love the 7 in 1 more than the 5 in 1 because of the smoothie bowl feature for açaí bowls! Easy Best Buy in store pick up process as well!

Happy with this little ice cream maker. Works as described. Purchased for my husband's birthday and he uses it a lot! After purchasing, I did find it at another store for $50 less. I was pretty disappointed that I had paid the higher price.

Great gift! My daughter started using it that very day! Loves what she can create from the product!

So nice to have fresh ice at home and control the ingredients! Instructions easy and detailed. Also gelato recipes.

Happy with this project and i love it and happy at ninja

Great product. Love to make protein ice cream in it.

These machines are great for making an incredibly close approximation of ice cream. But they are not reliable at all. If you don't mind blowing $200 plus dollars on a machine that may last a year or two then go for it. Otherwise, I'd avoid this product until they have some kind of major redesign. The biggest issue with the machine's design in the shaft in which the blade attaches. The tip of the shaft is magnetized and holds the blade in place as it shaves and whips up the frozen concoction in your pint. However, should you accidentally have something frozen too hard, not perfectly level, or have certain frozen fruits in the wrong random position, there's a high likelihood that the blade will struggle and overheat. The excess heat from the blade WILL DE-MAGNETIZE the shaft. The shaft is directly attached to the motor and is not user serviceable. So should this happen to you, the machine is now a large heavy brick...completely useless. Shark will honor warranties with a replacement unit within the 1 year time frame. That's great. But because the product's design is questionable, even the replacement unit has a high risk of failure. You'll eventually be past the 1 year warranty time frame and then be SOL. This is all from personal experience and I just hope to help anyone out there avoid wasting their hard earned cash on a product that will most likely fail on them.

I was looking for a Ninja coffee system and found this.

My fiancé loves his. I got it for him for our anniversary and he really enjoyed making his sorbet. I think it was a great purchase.

Wonderful product. The Nina Creami really does smoothly blend frozen concoctions of your choice. if you love frozen concoctions of any kind, get this machine.

Great way to make ice cream! The book is very helpful for recepies or you can make your own.

Item was exactly as advertised. Still need to continue to use the system purchased and will update the review later.

We trying a lot of different flavors. We are enjoying this machine.

It is great and i like the fact i can make any ice cream i want and any combination. But i feel like the recipe makes less then it says in the book. But it still a great kitchen appliance

Not as simple to make the ice cream as they make it appear on TV. I would say overall it is a good device. I personally probably would not ever buy it again.

Love it. works great. Still trying other recipes.
