Ninja CN301CO CREAMi Ice Cream Maker, for Gelato, Mix-ins, Milkshakes, Sorbet, Smoothie Bowls & More, 7 One-Touch Programs,

Just a heads up, this will be a long (honest) review. I'll be reviewing based on the actual product and my take on the pricing of this. If you want to skip all the fluff then head straight down to where it will read “Review on the actual product”.I’ve been eyeing this bad boy for quite some time now (1-2 years), and I didn’t want to shell out $200+ for this, knowing it’s an awesome product but c’mon this will get me in trouble with a) debt, b) spending splurge’s and c) regret lol. Don’t tell me you have not had a purchase guilt/regret and now you have to rethink your life choices lol. This has been on that list. Anyways, I’ve seen this on sale at numerous places but I still had that gut wrenching feeling…hmmm maybe I’ll get it at a later time or I don’t eat a lot of ice cream to get my money’s worth. Think about it, if I were to spend $200+, I have to think of how many times I would be able to eat a pint of ice cream to get my $$$ worth. In our home, we don’t eat a lot of ice cream, especially the same flavor for a whole month lol we’ll buy a pint or two maybe once or twice every 3-4 months at a time, sometimes a gallon, sometimes bars or sometimes all 3 lol With all the extra stuff added in, my tummy doesn't react too well to the milk products or other ingredients so my ice cream has to be all fruit bars and low sugar, which we know does cost a bit more. Plus, we get other ice cream flavors too that everyone else can have. Cost with everything could range about $20-$30.Saw this (renewed) on Amazon and I really wanted it especially for the price it listed. Read the reviews...well people, it clearly says it on the title and if anyone doesn't know what it means, it's the same thing as refurbished. Per Amazon - inspected before reselling. I researched this on sale from other stores and majority of them had only 1 pint but I didn't have any points to use or gift cards, so I went with Amazon instead. You cannot beat this price as this was the lowest I’ve seen, especially for 3 pints, the only drawback was that it’s refurbished so you gotta take a gamble. I did and I am definitely satisfied with my purchase, especially the amount I was able to get it down for with my points and gift cards. Now the worry part is if this will be coming to “brand new” like condition.Now time for my review on the actual product. Luckily everything came in one piece and it looks brand spanking new. Although, it didn’t come with a spatula but I didn't mind at all because I have a lot of those lol. And, I didn't mind not receiving a booklet too, well there's a thing called Google. First thing I researched was the product do's and don'ts and what the simplest ingredients to make with whatever I have on hand...sorbet. Froze pineapple chunks and juice for 24 hours and placed it in the machine. Beware, this thing is LOUD. Scared my soul right out of me AND my 100 Ibs dog lmao. But, don't freak out, that's what it's suppose to do...amazing and delicious! So very happy with this refurbished bad boy!. If you want to shell out the big bucks and have zero regrets on getting this for the top dollar that it list for, by all means do it. This is worth it for whatever amount of $$$ you wish to spend, it just didn’t for me.

Great! Cups included. Found them at bottom of box.

I got this as a re-new product knowing it was open. I went out and got enough stuff to make 3 different "ice creams" In total I spent like 30$ at the store. I made 3 mixtures and frozen them all for 24 hours. I followed a video online on how to use the mixer as the box came with no info. I mixed one it sounded like a blender; not sure loud, it came out like snow. I added some milk ran it again and it came out like really "ice cream". The video said to do that. I ran the second batch this one came out good the first time. I make a bowl for my girlfriend and I to try each. We both take a bite and get something that felt like hair in our mouth. After some discovery we find out that the blades was scraping the plastic mixing cup and makes plastic strans mixed in the 'ice cream'. Once I cleanred the bowls to return the item I saw each cup had chunks missing from there sides. The product worked like it should the end product was good, but just buy it new as there is a reason why somoene returned it once.I am thinking of buying a new one, but im kind of off put by the whole thing of maybe eatting plastic.Also sorry I wrote this quick and one my phone.

The media could not be loaded. The creami in action.It’s very loud, but apart from that I love it. I would definitely recommend!I also would recommend just blending your bases if you want to do a sorbet or use fruit to extend its life.To get creami ice creams, I would also recommend a thickener such as xantha gum or sugar free pudding

Could not find a disclosure to this effect on the listing, but this product is refurbished. It still works very well and I've had zero problems with it, but I would have preferred to know before purchasing.The most annoying thing is that, because it is not a factory new product, it does not come with the recipe book, which I was really looking forward to. However, there are several recipes on the internet so this has prevented me from enjoying it to the fullest!(To be clear, the listing does not claim to come with the book, I just assumed it would because I thought I was getting a new product, not a used one.)Would have been 5 stars if not for the lack of disclosure. I definitely recommend getting Ninja Creami!!!

Could not even tell it was used! Runs like a dream. Who would even return this??? I was bummed that it didn't come with the recipe book at first, but honestly there's enough recipes on TikTok and the internet to keep me going all summer. I'm going to run Ben and Jerry's out of business!It's a little complicated to clean but all the pieces are top rack dishwasher safe so I haven't run into any issues. It's very very loud but I went into this purchase knowing that; it's a blade going through ice technically! But it's so worth it for 210 cal/30+ grams of protein pints of soft serve 🥹

I am absolutely in love with my ninja creami. However the 1st one I bought after a couple uses had a part of the plastic around the blades broke off into the smoothies like shards of glass. I contacted the seller and they sent a replacement immediately and I'm sending the other 1 back keep it eye on this!

Regardless, if you get a refurbished one or not, which is what I did, my wife loves us and the kids also it gets used almost daily. It is kind of a pain sometimes that you have to freeze it but we have figured out the right amount of time it needs to be in the freezer.
