- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025This was a good purchase. Not your typical old fashioned ice cream maker. I was torn between this one and my other favorite brand, but am glad I went with the Ninja. The machine itself is heavy and durable. The size is not so big that I couldn't find a spot on my counter. It's fairly easy to use, but is quite noisy. My ice cream is super tasty when I use the mix in feature. This certainly is a lot healthier than Dairy Queen, that's for sure!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025I buy a lot on Amazon and almost never write reviews, but the Ninja Creami deserves some kudos. This thing basically turns everything into ice cream, and it’s very easy to use after you learn the steps the first couple times.
To support my work in the gym, I need to eat a lot of protein, so most days I add a scoop of protein powder somewhere. Since I got the creami a few weeks ago, most of my protein powder lives in ice cream and I get to eat ice cream for breakfast. I can make a whole pint of delicious ice cream that is high protein and under 300 calories using various combos of fruit, yogurt, almond milk, protein powders, and sugar free jello pudding mixes. I love this thing!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2022This 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!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2025This makes great ice cream with limited ingredients. My favorites so far are canned peaches or pineapples, tiny bit of cream to top it off, tablespoon of vanilla pudding mix, and 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023Fresh pineapple turned into a smooth frozen dessert is simply amazing. I have eaten this now dozens of times and it just doesn't get old. It is like Dole whip, but much healthier because it has just the one ingredient, pineapple. I loved it so much that I bought a second unit as a gift.
Overall this machine has been pretty frustrating. I made pineapple first, based on reviews here, but as I branched out, using other fruit like mango and papaya and pitted cherries, the machine started malfunctioning, dropping the blade into the dessert. Digging it out and trying again worked for a while, until there was an awful grinding noise and the spindle that holds the blade was shredded. This was after about two months. Ninja was super good about this problem -- we connected by a video call, they looked at it, had me cut the unplugged cord while online and then sent me a new unit. I was super careful with this unit, making sure that the blade and spindle were clean every time, containers not overfilled and everything seated properly and ... it happened again, this time after a month. It also melted plastic in the blade holder and there was an acrid, burned plastic smell.
Ninja was harder to get in touch with but sent me a new unit. Having not had any for a while, it took me two months to open the box, and it wouldn't turn on. I called Ninja and they had me send the unit back and sent me a new unit. This time they made me pay $20 shipping.
So this time, on my fourth unit in six months, I *only* make pineapple and orange -- two single ingredient recipes in the book that comes with it. I quit experimenting with other fruits. I don't know why mango or papaya are different than pineapple, orange and banana, but I don't want to lose another unit. Pineapple is worth it. It is a fantastic dessert! I still eat frozen mango and papaya, just cubed and not run through the creami.
BTW, I also have a vitamix and you can't do the same things in the vitamix that the creami will do. The vitamix is fantastic and can also make frozen desserts, but not the smooth, whipped pineapple that the creami will make.
Is it worth it? If you are trying not to eat added sugar, the creami is the best way to have a terrific frozen dessert with no added sugar, milk, yogurt or anything else. A pineapple costs $3-$4 and makes two containers' worth. So even adding a couple of bucks per container for the unit itself, it is cost-effective over the frozen yogurt place -- if your unit holds out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amo esta cosa
Ve los tutoriales, por el amor de dios, VE LOS TUTORIALES.
Es muy muy muy sencillo de usar y mantener, pero si lo usas inadecuadamente vas a tener problemas y mucha angustia al sentir que arruinaste tu carísima máquina de helados.
Básicamente congelas un bote (de los incluidos) de lo que se te ocurra y al día siguiente lo metes a la máquina. Aprietas un botón, suena como turbina de avión unos 2 minutos y ya tienes tu helado. Una vez metí piña fresca en cubos con chamoy y jugo de limón al bote, lo congelé y se hizo una nieve increíble.
