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!!

My nutritionist recommended that I eat more protein. It is hard for me to consume the amount requested. I have began supplementing with protein shakes. I bought the creamy and now I make protein ice creams. I use one protein drink and mix with two tablespoons of sugar free jello hit the light ice cream button and then mix in toppings. The only con is the machine itself is loud.

I am in love with the Ninja CREAMi! This little machine is going to get me into all kinds of delicious trouble—in the best way possible. Within just a few hours of unboxing it, we had already made a batch of chocolate Greek yogurt ice cream… and it was amazing!The texture? So creamy. The process? Super easy. And the best part? We get to control every ingredient. Whether you want to go low sugar, high protein, dairy-free, or just totally decadent, the CREAMi makes it possible. I already know we’re going to have hours of fun trying out the included recipes and experimenting with our own.This isn’t just about dessert—it’s about creating treats we don’t have to feel guilty about. It’s a total win for anyone trying to eat better without giving up the joy of ice cream.Highly, highly recommend—this is easily one of my favorite kitchen purchases in a long time!

Absolutely love this machine! Make all different flavor low calorie ice creams! Now that it’s finally warming up, I’m using it consistently! I generally spin each canister twice as this makes it really creamy!

OMG! My son makes thee absolute most delicious ice cream in this machine. So smooth, no chunks of ice, mixes perfectly, quiet, just great!!!! Excellent buy!!

EDIT: been 1 week since I contacted ninja’s customer service where they said they’d get back to me in 24-48 hours, never heard back! I followed up with them twice and still got nothing. I will just be returning the customer service was terrible :/I got this 9 days ago and it’s my 5th time using it. Today I got my base ready, made sure all the parts were attached correctly (this is important!) and then used the lite ice cream button after setting it up. I’m not sure if this is like it for all ninja’s or mine was just defected but it’s good to note that although my blade has always been able to attach, it almost seemed wobbly? But because I’ve neverowned a creami before and it never seemed to be completely snapped into a stagnant place I figured that was the normal. But today it appeared that my ninja started smoking! Turns out my brand new ninja started to have too much friction and caused it to start heating up and smoking before the blade eventually fell off and melted the cover attachment that connects to the creami machine. I even burned my fingers because I figured the smoke I saw was the ice cream being too cold and reacting to the warm temperature after 24 hours of freezing, so when I saw the blade well into the ice cream I just grabbed it without thinking. When the blade finally cooled down I took a look at it and noticed there was a chunk missing from it too, not sure where that little piece went. I reallyyy liked the ice cream the ninja made so I’m devastated this even happened, especially because I really believe I got a defected one to begin with, especially because I haven’t really heard of anyone else having this problem:( I tried requesting a replacement but alas I couldn’t get ahold of anyone or find a replacement instead of just a return option anywhere. Please be careful with the product you receive!.

Well i got this because my wife wanted to turn her protein powder into ice cream and for that she Loves it. I have made several 'ice cream' containers in this as well. When making mine I find it does mix well enough for me. I have to do a couple of mixes and typically the bottom around the edges does not get mixed in all. The other thing i have found is if you actually put the full amount your supposed to in the container it really does not do a good job of mixing.
