Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Ice Cream and Soft Serve Maker, Sorbet, Milkshake, Frozen Yogurt, Low Calories Program & More, 13-in-1, Soft Serve Handle, (2) CREAMi Swirl 16oz Pints, For Kids & ALL ages, NC701

So simple and the possibilities are endless. Game changer for ice cream at home. I am a fan of Ninja products and own many. They have always performed well and been dependable.

This produces beautiful ice cream, frozen yogurt, and frozen dessert-type products, as good as that available in my local markets, and I can make frozen dessert out of almost anything, including my protein drinks. I can also make almost any variety of low carb ice cream that I want, and am experimenting with unusual ice cream products.A few notes:- This machine is loud when creamifying the ice cream - about as loud as my vacuum cleaner. This will turn off some people, and can be a problem using it where noise is a concern.- Need to prepare and freeze ice cream 24 hours in advance, so spontaneity might be an issue. Any unfrozen pockets can ruin the texture, so needs the full 24 hours. It can turn commercial ice cream into soft serve for those spontaneous moments.- Very easy to clean, the parts are all self contained, and the main unit does not touch the ice cream or get dirty (except maybe the drip tray), which is a huge plus.- Expensive, but long-term return on investment may be good versus buying commercial frozen dessert products, and it is in the price range of many medium- to higher-end home ice cream makers, and of the many I have had in the past, this is the best so far, so worth it.- It only comes with two ice cream cups, and with the need to freeze 24 hours in advance, most people will need more. Fortunately they are also available here on Amazon, in two-packs. Make sure to buy the ones specifically for this 700-series machine, because older versions for previous machines will not work with this newer machine.

This machine was worth every penny. It’s SO fun! The combinations are endless!

I'm quite enjoying the ease of use of this product although it is quite loud... like for about 5-7 minutes you are hearing a construction saw going so that sucks. The soft serve side is finnicky recipe wise; some things just melt too fast to be cone worthy. I LOVE how simple it is to use though. I froze a can of crushed pineapple and made pineapple sorbet and it was SO DELICIOUS. I've been experimenting with the various soft serves in the book and some need tweaking. Beware of the heavy cream... the creami has a tendency to over-churn it and make it buttery; the flavor of the ice cream is still good but leave the greasy film in your mouth.

This machine is fantastic. Took a bit to figure out for me, but now it’s simple and so much fun. Definitely get extra pints and have some ready! The first use we had an ice cream party with the great grandparents and every one loved it, got to customize their ice creams, and now when my son sees me start up the machine, he calls up his grandparents and they come running. Definitely a really great tool to bring family and friends together. It can be loud but only for a few minutes, and you know what? It WORKS, unlike certain machines at the French fry place 😂

Seriously considering sending it back!I have a Breville Ice Cream compressor and have for years. It makes fantastic ice cream.I was attracted to this ninja because I love soft serve and thought this would be great for the summer.I finally tried it today. Was in the mood for soft serve. Followed their recommended recipe exactly. Well it was soup within seconds.I was so disappointed. The texture was gritty and the consistency was soup-like.I will try once more and reach out to the company - but for this price or any price it's not worth it.

I've been an avid gambler for several years now and it's cost me nearly everything. I make good money, but it all goes into the slots. I finally broke down and saw a therapist who specializes in gambling addiction and she advised that I take up another hobby to fill that void. Now I LOVE ice cream and I remember making it as a kid, so I thought this would be a great hobby. I got one of those Nistalgia Products ice cream makers and it helped a little, but something was missing. It didn't give me that instant gratification the slots gave me or play to the tactile fixation of pulling that lever I'd become so accustomed to. Ultimately I was unable to help myself. Fast forward to the release of the Ninja Swirl by Creami. I originally saw it on YouTube, and immediately I noticed that lever. I also saw that ice cream is a fast process (aside from the 24 hour freeze time) I knew I had to have it.Ever since I've been creaming it every night before bed. I'll load up one container with a soft serve mix and put it in the freezer and then load the the previous night's into the machine. I love seeing the lights on it too! It is a bit loud and not in the satisftying way the slots are, but when I pull that handle to be rewarded with delicious soft serve rather than another $50 down the drain it's honestly such a life changer!I will say the initial investment was tough as I waited anxiously for the machine to arrive with no money left for the slots, but it's well worth the tremors and migraines I suffered during said wait. I'm very happy with this and so happy to be putting my life back together. Thank you Ninja!

Just wow. It does everything I want and more. It's easy to use and clean. It is quite big, but not that loud to me. There are too many y recipes online that you will be good for years to come.
