Title: Impressive!
Review: I'm really impressed with the Ninja Creami...! I have another ice cream maker, but it's the kind where you have to freeze the bowl-- and to be honest it just never worked that well for me (constantly had to scrape the sides) plus it took up a lot of space in my freezer. So I saw the Ninja Creami on YouTube and was convinced enough to order one. I just made my first frozen yogurt pints and wow! they all came out GREAT. I'm a seasoned cook, so I'm inventing my own recipes for gelato, ice cream, custard, and frozen yogurt. The Creami is easy to operate and a breeze to clean the paddle and lid (these are the only things that need to be washed after using the unit-- and of course the pint jar when you're done eating your frozen treat). It is NOT a "messy" machine at all, just the opposite. I read that some reviewers have said the machine is too loud. I have not found this the case at all-- it just sounds like a blender. I was bracing for earplugs when I first turned it on, but was pleasantly surprised that it was no louder than a typical kitchen blender. While the paddle is rotating down, the machine is very stable with no vibrations-- rock solid. So far I've made chocolate frozen yogurt, pineapple frozen yogurt, coconut ice cream, and maple vanilla cinnamon custard ice cream. These have all been my own recipes and they have all come out super delicious and creamy. A tip: buy yourself more of the pint containers-- spend an hour making different mixes and then freeze in bulk to always have a frozen container ready to pop in the machine. I can already tell that this is going to be a frequently used appliance in my kitchen! A-plus, highly recommend!UPDATE: The more I use this machine the more I love it. Everyone who tastes my frozen creations says it's the best thing they've ever had. I'm having an absolute blast coming up with new and unusual flavors...Orange Creamsicle, Cafe au lait frozen yogurt, Basil-infused Lemon sherbet, Black licorice gelato, Mocha Tofutti, Mint & Dark Chocolate Chip frozen yogurt, Honey Blueberry "tofutti" gelato, Balsamic Mixed Berry frozen yogurt, Pumpkin Spice custard, Lemon Cheesecake gelato, Strawberry Shortcake frozen yogurt, Black Cherry Pie gelato, and Lavendar-infused Honey Strawberry gelato are some of the many flavors I've come up with so far.There is one review on here stating that you can only use two fruits for sorbet with the Creami: bananas and oranges... this is FALSE!! You can use any fruit you want, just keep in mind that you need to blend whatever fruit you are using in with your base. The Cream cannot break up large chucks of solid frozen fruit. The fruit you use in the base can either be used fresh or you can reduce it on the stove with some sweetener of choice if you like. Either way, you WILL need to blend it in with your base before freezing the pint container.I've had a few potential buyers ask the same question-- "Do you need to put cream cheese in every recipe?" No, you do not!!! You can take, say, a regular sorbet fruit base and add a small amount of milk, plant based milk, silken tofu, half & half, yogurt, or cream cheese to make a creamy based sherbert/ice cream/gelato/tofutti/frozen yogurt. Silken tofu comes out especially creamy and I sneak a good chunk or two into most of my recipes. You can also add a tablespoon or two of instant pudding mix... regular or sugar-free. I mix my recipes up in my Nutribullet blender... I've used a sharpie to determine where a pint is on the large blending cup and I just add my ingredients until I come to that line, then I screw on the blade and blend it, then pour into a Creami's pint containers. This works great for me because I just eyeball my ingredients to taste. I really try to control sugar in my cooking so I just put enough in to slightly sweeten. You can use honey, agave syrup, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar as white sugar substitutes. The flavor combinations are limitless. Seriously, this machine turns out some of the best gelato, ice cream, and frozen yogurt that I've ever had!!

Title: Well made and functional
Review: Does the job and makes me creamy ice cream. Has many functions for delicious treats and many frozen ideas in the recipe book provided. The only draw back is the noise. This machine is loud when making ice cream. Other than the noise level, the machine is well made and works as intended. Easy to use and a helpful instruction manual included. So save money and make homemade ice cream the easy way. Buy one today. Iâd recommend to family and friends.

Title: Finally I can have ice cream as I like it!
Review: This is now the third time in my life I've tried a home ice cream maker. Well, third time is the charm! This machine is AMAZING! The chocolate hazelnut gelato you see pictured above is made with skim milk and sweetened with allulose, making it low calorie while still completely delicious and creamy. How the machine gets skim milk so creamy I have no idea! It's even better if you use a little half and half. The pint I made tonight was 315 calories for the whole pint, and it has exactly what I want in it. I hate all other non-sugar sweeteners, and I prefer not to have tons of fat and sugar. Here are the advantages of the Creami over my discarded ice cream makers of the past:--it seems to be nearly fool proof. You won't always get a great result if you're just winging it, but you do generally end up with actual ice cream. In the other ice cream makers, if you got the proportions wrong, it would sometimes not really freeze or it would get icy.--It's so much easier to get the ice cream out and to clean! The ice cream maker I had with a compressor was such a pain--you had to get the ice cream out around the paddle, or dig the paddle out of the ice cream, and invariably you end up making a mess. The Creami pints are so much easier to deal with. Even the lid, which is a little more annoying, is pretty easy to clean once you know what to do. (Read the manual, even though you have to go online to get it--it's important to take out the rubber gasket and clean under it.)--It doesn't matter if you have leftovers that freeze hard as a rock. We never enjoyed eating ice cream from our other makers on the next day, because they always hardened so much in the freezer. (And you had to make so much we always had leftovers.) With the Creami, if the leftovers freeze hard, you can just process them again and have just as good an experience the next day.The only real downsides I can see are 1) you have to wait 24 hours for your pint to freeze before you can make it into ice cream, and 2) the horrendous noise the machine makes. It's seriously loud, and the sound changes in alarming ways as the blade makes its way down and back up. The first few times I ran it, I was afraid something was going to break or blow up or something. I am now starting to get used to it and know the weird noises are normal. Dealing with the racket is totally worth it!If you've tried an ice cream maker before and decided it wasn't worth the hassle, give this one a try. It's wonderful!

Title: Ninja Screami! Very loud!
Review: Itâs an incredible machine, the technology is mind blowing. It turned chocolate milk and protein powder into chocolate concrete ice cream. I turned the pint upside down and the spoon was stuck like the sword in the stone. This is the best ice cream Iâve ever made and the sorbet is the same amazing consistency. Very few moving parts means easy to clean, the moving parts assemble easily and I canât wait for my next batch of ice cream!But man alive, this thing is loud! Itâs only for a couple of minutes and after that first bite of the thickest, richest, low cal, low carb concrete ice cream- who cares! Worth it!
