My new favorite appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this, as someone whose favorite dessert is ice cream, this is going to be a well-used appliance. I used the recipes that were included as a guide to make my own flavor. I noticed that the more water content something has, the more icy the texture (which makes sense). So even though I blended fruit with milk and used the ice cream setting, it had more of a sorbet texture. On another round, I made a chocolate ice cream using whole milk and the texture was amazing. It was super smooth and creamy and you would have thought heavy cream was used. I didn't finish the whole cup of ice cream in one go so I froze it again for the next day. Although you can certainly attempt to scoop it the next day, it's certainly way easier to put it back in the machine for it to soften it up again. One thing I did learn was to taste test before freezing so you can make last minute tweaks if it needs more sugar/flavor.
As for the machine itself, once you read through the manual, this is super easy to use. Screw in the blade attachment to the cup, put it in the machine, choose whatever setting you desire and press the middle circle to start. I will say this is incredibly loud to use, but it's not a big deal since you can do something in another room for the handful of minutes the machine is on. Cleaning is also super easy, no hard to reach crevices. Absolutely love this and highly recommend to those who also love frozen desserts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first experience with an ice cream maker and I'm so happy with the NutriBullet,it is so easy to use and come with full instructions, you can make healthier ice cream for your kids, you can make different ice creams and smoothie bowls as well. Absolutely love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I almost gave it even less instead. The main reason that it is something I love to hate: the noise. It is so incredibly loud I had to get noise canceling headphones to stand next to it and watch it work. If there was anyway to make the motor quieter, it would be perfect. The only other thing I didn’t care for was the touch pad. It didn’t show which section was which until you tapped it to glow. Alright, as bad as the noise was, I will continue to use it for its amazing other features. Yes the noise is loud but it only last for 5-6 minutes. It’s easy to set up, easy to use, very easy to clean up. I went with a basic banana ice cream (not just bananas) and it was so simple. I suggest adding ingredients to a different cup and then using a hand/immersion blender to puree everything. Pour that into the pint container, add lid and freeze. It takes up SO MUCH LESS space in the freezer and the containers then become where you store your finished ice cream. Pop on the bladed lid, attach to machine and go. That’s it! Simple, delicious and much healthier frozen treats. The different parts are easy to clean, the instructions it comes with are very detailed and easy to understand, and some parts are dishwasher safe. The machine itself is very small and compact and fits perfectly between my other larger items like my air fryer without getting in the way. It will stay out all year. The ice cream does come out so creamy and smooth. However, if you refreeze it, make sure you wait a few minutes for it to thaw a bit before digging in. It doesn’t need to be blended again. I know this will probably upset a neighbor or two with its noise, but I can always make it better by sharing the delicious treat. Oh, and I think my dog loves this ice cream machine more than I do and better than store bought doggy ice cream.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is soooo easy to use! I made a lemon sorbet from their recipe QR code and it was absolutely delicious! I love how many different frozen desserts you can make with it. From guilt free options all the way to the delicious sugary ice cream. The size portion is really nice because you can get a few servings out of it. Cleaning it is very easy as well, literally takes barely any time which is a plus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall very impressive so far it's done ice cream and gelato exceptionally well! I love that the recipes this came with were minimal ingredients. It's easy to use but very loud. I like that it comes with a container and lid to store everything after you make it super neat! I can for sure see myself using it all summer and experimenting with different flavors.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very loud when blending your frozen concoction but I made chocolate gelato and it was so smooth and creamy. It also didn’t take long to blend it and it’s super user friendly when using it. The machine also isn’t super big so it doesn’t take up to much room.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a bit confusing to work at first but if you follow the recipes provided and instructions you get delicious results. I love that it is compact and durable, also wasn’t too loud which is good.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We tried this ice cream maker and love it. It can make ice cream, gelato, sorbet, frizen yogurt and smoothie bowls. It’s very easy to use, just mix the ingredients, freeze them for a couple of hours then place it in the machine and press the button. It has a compact size and doesn’t take up much space. We really enjoy using this machine and making homemade ice creams.
