Totally worth it
I was hesitant at first, but I’m so happy I made the decision, this machine is amazing! I love being able to make my own ice cream or smoothies at home, in an easy way and using the ingredients I want. Honestly, I know it’s not something I need, but it just makes my life easier and happier.

Impressive!
I'm really impressed with the Ninja Creami...! I have another ice cream maker, but it's the kind where you have to freeze the bowl-- and to be honest it just never worked that well for me (constantly had to scrape the sides) plus it took up a lot of space in my freezer. So I saw the Ninja Creami on YouTube and was convinced enough to order one. I just made my first frozen yogurt pints and wow! they all came out GREAT. I'm a seasoned cook, so I'm inventing my own recipes for gelato, ice cream, custard, and frozen yogurt. The Creami is easy to operate and a breeze to clean the paddle and lid (these are the only things that need to be washed after using the unit-- and of course the pint jar when you're done eating your frozen treat). It is NOT a "messy" machine at all, just the opposite. I read that some reviewers have said the machine is too loud. I have not found this the case at all-- it just sounds like a blender. I was bracing for earplugs when I first turned it on, but was pleasantly surprised that it was no louder than a typical kitchen blender. While the paddle is rotating down, the machine is very stable with no vibrations-- rock solid. So far I've made chocolate frozen yogurt, pineapple frozen yogurt, coconut ice cream, and maple vanilla cinnamon custard ice cream. These have all been my own recipes and they have all come out super delicious and creamy. A tip: buy yourself more of the pint containers-- spend an hour making different mixes and then freeze in bulk to always have a frozen container ready to pop in the machine. I can already tell that this is going to be a frequently used appliance in my kitchen! A-plus, highly recommend!UPDATE: The more I use this machine the more I love it. Everyone who tastes my frozen creations says it's the best thing they've ever had. I'm having an absolute blast coming up with new and unusual flavors...Orange Creamsicle, Cafe au lait frozen yogurt, Basil-infused Lemon sherbet, Black licorice gelato, Mocha Tofutti, Mint & Dark Chocolate Chip frozen yogurt, Honey Blueberry "tofutti" gelato, Balsamic Mixed Berry frozen yogurt, Pumpkin Spice custard, Lemon Cheesecake gelato, Strawberry Shortcake frozen yogurt, Black Cherry Pie gelato, and Lavendar-infused Honey Strawberry gelato are some of the many flavors I've come up with so far.There is one review on here stating that you can only use two fruits for sorbet with the Creami: bananas and oranges... this is FALSE!! You can use any fruit you want, just keep in mind that you need to blend whatever fruit you are using in with your base. The Cream cannot break up large chucks of solid frozen fruit. The fruit you use in the base can either be used fresh or you can reduce it on the stove with some sweetener of choice if you like. Either way, you WILL need to blend it in with your base before freezing the pint container.I've had a few potential buyers ask the same question-- "Do you need to put cream cheese in every recipe?" No, you do not!!! You can take, say, a regular sorbet fruit base and add a small amount of milk, plant based milk, silken tofu, half & half, yogurt, or cream cheese to make a creamy based sherbert/ice cream/gelato/tofutti/frozen yogurt. Silken tofu comes out especially creamy and I sneak a good chunk or two into most of my recipes. You can also add a tablespoon or two of instant pudding mix... regular or sugar-free. I mix my recipes up in my Nutribullet blender... I've used a sharpie to determine where a pint is on the large blending cup and I just add my ingredients until I come to that line, then I screw on the blade and blend it, then pour into a Creami's pint containers. This works great for me because I just eyeball my ingredients to taste. I really try to control sugar in my cooking so I just put enough in to slightly sweeten. You can use honey, agave syrup, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar as white sugar substitutes. The flavor combinations are limitless. Seriously, this machine turns out some of the best gelato, ice cream, and frozen yogurt that I've ever had!!

Great machine.
Great product. Having so much fun with this. Easy to clean and the recipes are very easy. I bought the smaller model and do not regret it at all.

Game changer
Absolutely love this machine. It is about the size of our Ninja large coffee maker. We use it to make lower-calorie and high-protein alternatives to store bought ice cream and it works great for that. It does take some experimenting with but there are tons of YouTube videos you can find with recipes and tips to use. It is also great for normal ice cream and comes with a handy recipe book to use.Be aware that the machine is pretty powerful, so it is loud. When we run it we sometimes with step into another room. This isn’t too much of an issue but if you are sensitive to noise be careful. It is also important that you clean the blade, container, and lid after each use so bacteria doesn’t grow. We do this by hand and dishwasher and it is fine.It’s a great little machine that does need to be maintained, but that maintenance is very easy and is totally worth the ease of use of being able to make ice cream at home. Would recommend!

Big fan of ice cream fast..then this is your buy
Machine does a great job of mixing up frozen to creamy fast. Easy recipe to make basic vanilla ice cream. You can get creative and add almost anything to it. Very simple to clean. The mixing lid is really all you need to wash off well other than container and lid. But extra containers.. you only get one in the box.

only 2 fruits can be used!
I ordered the Creami because of the good reviews, and my own good experiences with Ninja Foodi products. I do have an ice cream maker (the Cuisinart) which works very well, though it took me years, and half a dozen machines before I found one which worked well. That said it does take up a lot of space in the freezer so I thought this was worth trying. However, the main reason I wanted it was to make low or no sugar fruit sorbet, as they promote. I have to say that I was disappointed (VERY) to discover that it should only be used with bananas and oranges. Really? That actually makes it almost useless to me, and it is expensive (for something which does 1 single thing,) and which I can already make.I have, however, found a good use for it (if not a good place... it really is VERY large).Freeze some Thai iced coffee and it makes excellent espresso ice cream.I still can not find a space for it. I am OK with it on the counter during the summer, but now.... I have to find some (already scarce) cabinet space.It is more like a shave ice machine than an ice cream machine. The fruit"sorbet" it makes is noot creamy, It just isn't, even when I respin.But it does occupy less freezer space (but more counter space than my Cuisinart).If you are thinking of buying this you should know that it only works with bananas and oranges, and that Ninja says using it with other things will damage the product and void the warranty.Over cyber week I bought I Vitamix. It can handle frozen berries (and even rocks, according to one web site ;) So I may never use this again. It is a good deal more expensive, but it does other things as well, and can work with just about any variety of fruitPros: does not take up a lot of freezer space. Provides a new technique, opening up more recipes (maybe)Cons : does just 1 thing. Takes up a lot of counter space, and is also heavy.Can not use any fruit besides bananas and oranges(Though I did use pomelo.... which is a lot like orange texture wise).. I am not sure I would call the result "sorbet"I really think that if Ninja is going to promote this for sugar-free fruit sorbet, they ought to flat out tell people.... but just these 2 fruits.
