CREAMi Swirl Ice Cream & Soft Serve Maker, Sherbet, Milkshake, Frozen Yogurt, Low Calorie Program and More, 13-in-1 Soft Serve Handle & (2) CREAMi Swirl 16oz Pint for Kids & All Ages NC701

The First thing you should know is how amazing it is to make whatever flavor you want, whenever you want, in the style you want. I am diabetic and the low sugar options available to me are very limited. With this machine I can make all kinds of low impact treats whenever I want, AND, if you get the right mixture, it can be stored, frozen, and is still scoopable later. Worst case you need to leave it on the counter for 10-15 minutes, and then it's scoopable. You can make super simple sorbets, my favorite so far is a can of pears, some cinnamon, blend it, pour it into the pint container, top up with water, mix, and then freeze. It takes 5 minutes to prep, 24 hrs to freeze completely. Or, you can make things you would never have the opportunity to try. I made a Persian Bastani for fun. It features saffron and rose water. Its a super floral flavor, not too sweet. But it was new and exciting. My neighbor brings her kids over every Thursday for a play date and the finale is choosing which ice cream flavor they want. Of note, I use an AI to help fine tune my recipes. There is a slightly complicated balance of sugars, fats, solids etc to get the perfect consistency and future scoopability. The first chocolate I made was terrible, so the second one I made off the cuff. I added some pudding mix, melted chocolate chips, xanthan gum, cream and a bit of milk. The final product was absolutely amazing. But, it was too thick and I could hear the motor struggling. So for the longevity of the ice cream machine, be sure to either follow a recipe, ask AI and specify which ice cream maker you have, or pay close attention to you ingredients balance. All in all, the price I paid for this machine in Japan was barely worth it, and that's because the ice cream it makes is so amazing. It was incredibly marked up to get an American machine here in Japan. If I had trusted the shipping to get it to me unbroken from America I could have save a couple hundred USD. But, it's a good machine, and it arrived quickly and unbroken. So it was worth it. One of the lower models might be a better value if you aren't expecting to make some of the other options, like dispensable soft serve, but itnis fun.

well what can i say. yippee this is so good. 99 ice cream is fantastic

Don't get me wrong, its a great little device although I haven't used it fully yet but the reason I gave just 3 stars is due to the price..a bit on the expensive side for what it is

I picked up the Ninja CREAMi Scoop and Swirl Ice Cream Maker NC701 on a bit of a whim for our family. We deal with multiple food allergies, so buying store ice cream that works for everyone is nearly impossible. The ability to fully control ingredients like dairy-free milk, low sugar options, or nut-free recipes is what pushed me to try it. This is the more deluxe version with both scoop and soft serve capability, and it definitely feels like a premium kitchen appliance. From a build quality and appearance standpoint, it is substantial. This is not a small countertop gadget. It is tall, fairly heavy, and takes up serious space. It will not fit under most standard upper cabinets, so plan accordingly. We ended up buying a separate baker’s rack to house this and our Ninja Slushi machine. The included 2-in-1 pints, lids, paddle, and swirl press feel sturdy and are dishwasher safe, which helps with usability and cleanup. Using the machine is not trivial at first. There is a learning curve. The process starts by preparing your recipe directly in the clear pint containers. The most important detail is making sure the containers freeze completely level. Timing needs to be correct for adequate freezing. If the mixture freezes at an angle, the chopping and blending mechanism will struggle to operate or process correctly. After freezing for about 24 hours, you install the blade lid, lock the container into the machine, and select one of the 13 programs. There are dedicated soft serve modes, fruit whip, frozen yogurt, custard, and more. We typically use coconut or oat milk, which freezes harder than traditional dairy. Because of that, we often have to run the blend cycle multiple times to achieve a smooth, soft-serve consistency. That is one of the nuances you only learn by doing. Once the texture is right, you move the container to the soft serve side, install the swirl press, and dispense into a cone or bowl. It is a multi-step workflow, and good results depend on understanding how each phase works. If something is off, it usually comes down to leveling in the freezer, recipe ratios, or needing an extra spin. Performance is impressive once dialed in. The Creamify technology really does transform a solid frozen block into a creamy texture. The ability to customize mix-ins and tailor recipes for dietary needs adds real value. However, it is loud. Very loud. During the chopping and spinning phase, the noise level is intense. It is not something you want running constantly, and it could easily be disruptive and hurt ears in a small kitchen. Another small limitation is the dispensing phase. When using the soft serve function, it does not fully clear the entire pint. There is usually a noticeable amount left in the bottom. It is easy enough to scoop out with a spoon, but it feels like an area that could be improved in future designs. In terms of value, this is clearly a luxury appliance. It is not essential, and it is not small. But if you have dietary restrictions, want full control over ingredients, or enjoy experimenting with frozen desserts, it offers strong performance and flexibility. It does not replace a commercial soft serve machine, but for home use, it delivers impressive results. Overall, I recommend the Ninja CREAMi Scoop and Swirl if you are willing to learn the process and have the space for it. It’s pretty expensive, but I believe it adds substantial value for families with allergies or if you just love ice cream. It takes patience at first, and there are nuances to master, but once you understand how it works, it produces high-quality frozen treats tailored exactly to your needs.

Würde null Sterne geben wenn ich könnte. Kam nie an nach langem vergeblichem Warten gab es zumindest das Geld zurück. Würde sie direkt bei Ninja bestellen. Da kam sie zumindest an. Die Maschine an sich ist super und kann ich wer eine vielseitige Maschine mag nur empfehlen.
