Although it isn’t prepared to make an funding, the Ninja CREAMi soft serve ice cream maker has obtained glowing reward on Amazon, the place it’s at present at its lowest value. One person shared the way it ‘genuinely surprised me’ and stated: “Before shopping for the Ninja, I listened to all the web complaints: ‘It’s simply an overpriced blender’, ‘You have to freeze the tubs’, ‘It doesn’t also have a compressor’.

“Because of this, I actually decided to buy a compressor ice cream machine first — the Cuisinart Frost Fusion. On paper, it sounded more ‘professional’ because it freezes while churning. Reality? Huge disappointment…

“Then I bought the Ninja CREAMi Swirl and honestly, the difference was shocking. The Ninja produces REAL ice cream texture. Thick, creamy, smooth, scoopable, and even amazing low-calorie or protein recipes.

“Vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream, peanut butter protein ice cream — everything has come out better than my expensive compressor machine. Yes, you need to freeze the tubs beforehand. But after the first few days, it becomes effortless.

“I keep a few tubs prepared in the freezer and just spin whichever flavour I want.”

Someone else echoed the compliments and said: “I rarely leave a review but for this one, it’s well deserved. The best ice cream and sorbet I ever tasted and the kids are very happy eating a healthy ice cream. Thank you!”

A third added how it was their ‘best buy of 2026’ and marveled: “It’s absolutely diabolical how easy it is to make ice cream. I’ve made protein dense frozen yogurt and let me tell you, I’m never buying frozen yogurt from a store again.”

One of the only recurring downsides some people have noted is that it is relatively ‘loud’, with one review reading: “It is a strong sturdy machine as long as you don’t over fill it. It is quite loud and does vibrate a bit but worth it for the quality of the sheet treats it can make.”

Someone else echoed: “As for noise, it IS loud, but it only lasts 2-5 minutes and is no worse than a food processor or blender.” They also shared how: “If you don’t eat it all, you put it back in the freezer, then have to reprocess, but that’s just the same as any ice cream maker – except with a traditional machine, you can’t reprocess!”

For the most part, however, ice cream lovers have been blown away by this machine that sees them ditching frozen treats from outlets. One individual famous: “Bought this during a warm spell after the third consecutive weekend of the children asking to go out specifically for ice cream. The upfront cost felt significant but the per-serving economics made more sense once it was actually in use.”

They added: “Produces results that are genuinely difficult to distinguish from a good ice cream shop.”
