Ninja CN301CO CREAMi Ice Cream Maker

Just a heads up, this will be a long (honest) review. I'll be reviewing based on the actual product and my take on the pricing of this. If you want to skip all the fluff then head straight down to where it will read “Review on the actual product”. I’ve been eyeing this bad boy for quite some time now (1-2 years), and I didn’t want to shell out $200+ for this, knowing it’s an awesome product but c’mon this will get me in trouble with a) debt, b) spending splurge’s and c) regret lol. Don’t tell me you have not had a purchase guilt/regret and now you have to rethink your life choices lol. This has been on that list. Anyways, I’ve seen this on sale at numerous places but I still had that gut wrenching feeling…hmmm maybe I’ll get it at a later time or I don’t eat a lot of ice cream to get my money’s worth. Think about it, if I were to spend $200+, I have to think of how many times I would be able to eat a pint of ice cream to get my $$$ worth. In our home, we don’t eat a lot of ice cream, especially the same flavor for a whole month lol we’ll buy a pint or two maybe once or twice every 3-4 months at a time, sometimes a gallon, sometimes bars or sometimes all 3 lol With all the extra stuff added in, my tummy doesn't react too well to the milk products or other ingredients so my ice cream has to be all fruit bars and low sugar, which we know does cost a bit more. Plus, we get other ice cream flavors too that everyone else can have. Cost with everything could range about $20-$30. Saw this (renewed) on Amazon and I really wanted it especially for the price it listed. Read the reviews...well people, it clearly says it on the title and if anyone doesn't know what it means, it's the same thing as refurbished. Per Amazon - inspected before reselling. I researched this on sale from other stores and majority of them had only 1 pint but I didn't have any points to use or gift cards, so I went with Amazon instead. You cannot beat this price as this was the lowest I’ve seen, especially for 3 pints, the only drawback was that it’s refurbished so you gotta take a gamble. I did and I am definitely satisfied with my purchase, especially the amount I was able to get it down for with my points and gift cards. Now the worry part is if this will be coming to “brand new” like condition. Now time for my review on the actual product. Luckily everything came in one piece and it looks brand spanking new. Although, it didn’t come with a spatula but I didn't mind at all because I have a lot of those lol. And, I didn't mind not receiving a booklet too, well there's a thing called Google. First thing I researched was the product do's and don'ts and what the simplest ingredients to make with whatever I have on hand...sorbet. Froze pineapple chunks and juice for 24 hours and placed it in the machine. Beware, this thing is LOUD. Scared my soul right out of me AND my 100 Ibs dog lmao. But, don't freak out, that's what it's suppose to do...amazing and delicious! So very happy with this refurbished bad boy!. If you want to shell out the big bucks and have zero regrets on getting this for the top dollar that it list for, by all means do it. This is worth it for whatever amount of $$$ you wish to spend, it just didn’t for me.

Perfect for making protein ice cream and healthy meal replacements! Could not say enough about this product

My grandchildren love this thing. These days it’s hard to find something that doesn’t involve a screen. This ice cream maker got them off the screens. Win!

I got this as a re-new product knowing it was open. I went out and got enough stuff to make 3 different "ice creams" In total I spent like 30$ at the store. I made 3 mixtures and frozen them all for 24 hours. I followed a video online on how to use the mixer as the box came with no info. I mixed one it sounded like a blender; not sure loud, it came out like snow. I added some milk ran it again and it came out like really "ice cream". The video said to do that. I ran the second batch this one came out good the first time. I make a bowl for my girlfriend and I to try each. We both take a bite and get something that felt like hair in our mouth. After some discovery we find out that the blades was scraping the plastic mixing cup and makes plastic strans mixed in the 'ice cream'. Once I cleanred the bowls to return the item I saw each cup had chunks missing from there sides. The product worked like it should the end product was good, but just buy it new as there is a reason why somoene returned it once. I am thinking of buying a new one, but im kind of off put by the whole thing of maybe eatting plastic. Also sorry I wrote this quick and one my phone.

Could not find a disclosure to this effect on the listing, but this product is refurbished. It still works very well and I've had zero problems with it, but I would have preferred to know before purchasing. The most annoying thing is that, because it is not a factory new product, it does not come with the recipe book, which I was really looking forward to. However, there are several recipes on the internet so this has prevented me from enjoying it to the fullest! (To be clear, the listing does not claim to come with the book, I just assumed it would because I thought I was getting a new product, not a used one.) Would have been 5 stars if not for the lack of disclosure. I definitely recommend getting Ninja Creami!!!

Could not even tell it was used! Runs like a dream. Who would even return this??? I was bummed that it didn't come with the recipe book at first, but honestly there's enough recipes on TikTok and the internet to keep me going all summer. I'm going to run Ben and Jerry's out of business! It's a little complicated to clean but all the pieces are top rack dishwasher safe so I haven't run into any issues. It's very very loud but I went into this purchase knowing that; it's a blade going through ice technically! But it's so worth it for 210 cal/30+ grams of protein pints of soft serve 🥹

The creami in action. It’s very loud, but apart from that I love it. I would definitely recommend! I also would recommend just blending your bases if you want to do a sorbet or use fruit to extend its life. To get creami ice creams, I would also recommend a thickener such as xantha gum or sugar free pudding

No paro de usarla

La Ninja Creami est une machine super intéressante pour faire des desserts glacés maison facilement. Elle permet de préparer des crèmes glacées, des sorbets, des gelatos et même des versions plus santé riches en protéines. Son grand avantage, c’est qu’on peut contrôler les ingrédients : moins de sucre, sans lactose ou avec des ajouts comme des morceaux de chocolat ou de biscuits. La texture est généralement très onctueuse grâce à son système de transformation après congélation. Par contre, il faut prévoir du temps puisque la préparation doit congeler environ 24 heures avant d’être transformée. Elle peut aussi être un peu bruyante pendant l’utilisation

Excelente, como tip cuando el helado está listo coloquen un chorrito de leche y vuelvan a dar el ciclo y el helado queda excelente y cremoso

Great product for those that want to make their own ice cream. My wife loves making low calorie, high protein ice creams for her diet. I’m sure if you used a proper recipe, it’ll taste pretty close to the real thing but even using ingredients like sugar free protein powder and cottage cheese, she can make a pretty convincing product. No more buying expenses Halo Top. Easy to clean too, all the containers are dishwasher safe

Pese a que la compré en agosto, apenas en diciembre la he abierto. Los vasos vienen en un doble fondo en la caja, hasta abajo. Pensé que había llegado incompleta pero nada de eso, son 3 vasos. Tiene QR para descargar el manual y no tiene recetario impreso así que toca ver recetas a mi gusto en la web. Aun no la he usado, todo se ve bien.

I was really looking forward to making ice cream with the Ninja Creami. It is bulky but fists on the kitchen counter. After watching several videos online, I was confident that I could easily make the machine function. Once all the ingredients were in a jar, I went through the various steps. With the last click, no lights could be seen to show the various options available (ice cream, gelato, sorbet....). After many, many tries, the lights appeared momentarily. It was only after pushing and holding the handle strenuously that it started churning. For this machine to operate, I need to continuously push and hold the handle (tiring work). Ice cream is delicious but machine is definitely defective. I am returning it for a refund. I would appreciate the company offering a compensation for the stress and hassle created by a defective product.
