Amazon has cut over £30 from the Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Maker, reducing its price to £169 from £199.99, a saving of £30.99 or 15%. The discount comes as the UK experiences a heatwave, with record temperatures driving demand for cooling treats. SharkNinja, the brand behind Ninja, has completely sold out of the same CREAMi model on its own site, where it was priced at £169.99 (was £199.99) when available.
Features and Functions
The Ninja CREAMi offers seven functions to create a variety of frozen desserts, including ice cream, gelato, milkshakes, sorbet, and smoothie bowls. A dedicated 'Mix-Ins' program evenly distributes additions like chocolate chips, sweets, nuts, or biscuit pieces throughout the tub. The device uses Ninja's 'Creamify Technology', which employs a rotating 'Creamerizer' paddle to achieve the desired consistency. According to Ninja, the machine can transform frozen bases into treats 'in minutes'. An easy-to-use touchscreen displays a progress bar to track preparation.
What's Included and Customer Feedback
Each purchase includes three dessert tubs with a total capacity of 1.4 litres, along with a Ninja recipe guide. Amazon customers have rated the CREAMi 4.4 stars based on over 1,100 reviews. One buyer commented: 'It has quickly become one of the most-used appliances in my kitchen. I purchased it primarily to make homemade ice cream, but I’ve experimented with sorbets, milkshakes, frozen yogurt and protein ice cream, and the machine has performed exceptionally well.' Another reviewer stated: 'Wish I’d bought this sooner, it has completely exceeded my expectations.' However, they noted: 'It’s quite noisy while running, so don’t expect a quiet appliance, but you do get used to it and the results make up for it.' A third five-star review called it the 'best kitchen investment', adding: 'One of the biggest advantages is knowing exactly what ingredients go into your ice cream, which gives you full control over what your family is eating.'
