CREAMi Scoop & Swirl Ice Cream Maker, Soft Serve Desserts, Sorbet, Milkshakes, Frozen Yogurt and More, 13-in-1 Programs, Includes Handle and Two 16 oz 2-in-1 Pints, NC701

I've been using the Ninja CREAMi Scoop & Swirl Ice Cream Maker almost every day, and it's been one of the best kitchen purchases I've made. I primarily use it to make protein ice cream, and the results are much better than I expected. The texture comes out smooth and creamy, making it easy to stick to nutrition goals without feeling like you're sacrificing dessert. Once your mixture is frozen, it only takes about 5 minutes to spin and turn it into ice cream, which is very convenient. If you plan to use this machine frequently, I highly recommend buying extra pint containers so you can keep multiple flavors ready to go. I chose the Scoop & Swirl model instead of the regular CREAMi because I knew I'd be using it daily, and that has definitely been the case. That said, I don't utilize the swirl function nearly as much as I thought I would. It's a nice feature to have, but for me, the regular ice cream functionality is what gets used the most. Overall, this machine makes excellent homemade ice cream, works great for high-protein recipes, and has become a daily staple in my kitchen. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make healthier frozen treats at home.

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.

We previously had the Ninja Creami, but this machine takes things to the next level — who doesn’t love swirl soft serve ice cream? It is a bit loud during operation, so headphones might come in handy, but the results are absolutely worth it. The texture is smooth, creamy, and truly restaurant-quality. I love the versatility of this machine — it’s perfect for making soft serve, milkshakes, gelato, or sorbet. It’s also a fun and delicious way to add variety to protein shakes or healthier frozen treats. Overall, a great investment for anyone who enjoys customizing their desserts at home. Highly recommend!

Love this machine! Simple to use once you get the hang of it and I love the ability to make ice cream that turns out rich and creamy using protein shakes, yogurt, coconut milk etc for a lower sugar option and still satisfy my ice cream addiction! Very sturdy, solid machine - I love all my Ninja appliances

Sometimes, i find that the Ninja CREAMi works well for quick desserts like milkshakes and sorbet when i want something sweet after dinner. the setup is pretty straightforward and it’s handy to have the handle and two sizable pints included. however, it can be a little noisy, and i’ve noticed that certain textures don’t turn out as smooth as i hoped. still, it’s nice to have multiple options with its 13-in-1 programs. overall, it’s a handy gadget, but i wouldn’t say it’s perfect for every type of frozen treat.

I’ve been using the Ninja Creami for a while now, and overall I’m very impressed. Unlike traditional ice cream makers, the Creami allows you to freeze your ingredients first and then transforms them into ice cream, gelato, sorbet, milkshakes, and more in just a few minutes. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, especially when making protein ice cream, fruit sorbets, and healthier homemade recipes.

I have had my Ninja Creami for 11 months. I absolutely love it because I can make healthy ice cream desserts. Yesterday it started making a louder than normal noise as I was spinning a fruit smoothie I had frozen. I unplugged it immediately. Once I finally got the lid off, the blade was at the bottom of the mix and smoke was coming up the center of the mix. I looked at the gear that operates the blade and it was black and very hot to touch. I called customer support because I was still within the 12 month warranty and after answering some questions and sending them pictures, they are sending me a replacement product plus extra accessories. The customer service was excellent. If you have problems with your appliance and you’ve had it less than 12 months, call them! They were more than happy to replace my appliance.

Awesome machine! We love it!!!! One container fills about 6 regular sized cake cones. My recipe for chocolate soft serve (What we use): 2/3 cups (nonGMO) pure cane sugar 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum 1-1/2 TBSP Nestle Cocoa Powder 1/8 tsp salt or less (a pinch) Mix together dry ingredients in glass bowl. Add 1/4 cup Heavy Cream and 3/4 cup Half n Half Use whisk to mix carefully and completely. Put glass bowl in microwave for 30 seconds, then take out of microwave and whisk this base mixture again until sugar granules are blended Add 1 more cup of Half n Half and stir with whisk until completely blended. Be sure you have closed your Ninja churning container and installed your selected nozzle shape on it, then pour the ice cream batter into your container to the Fill Line. If you need more Half n Half, add it and whisk lightly to finish. Cover with container top and Freeze 24 hours on a level shelf. Take out next day and follow machine directions for soft serve. We have used the frozen, unchurned ice cream up to a week after preparation and freezing. Enjoy! We love the easy clean up. Get a small brush cleaner and put a little soap on it. Clean the nozzle area and the inside of the container. Take the softserve pressure lid apart and use the gentle bristles with soap and water to clean all parts. On the main churning lid, remove blade over sink, clean with soap and water. If you let water run into the top opening on the blade, the water will squirt out the side, cleaning it more thoroughly. Clean the outside blade lid / churning lid and shake excess water off over sink. Put in dish drainer to dry. We do not put any of our Ninja Ice Cream parts into the Dishwasher. The containers can warp in the microwave, so we suggest you use that technique to soften ice cream to eat. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
