Great for frozen treats not great for weight loss.

I have a love hate relationship with this machine. It works great and everything I’ve made is delicious. But now I want ice cream and treats everyday which is not very good for weight loss.
As someone who loves ice cream I can promise that you will be glad to buy one! Keep in mind that most of the recipes call for freezer time of 24 hours.
Bought this about a month ago and have used it everyday. I'm hooked. You do have to experiment, but I have loved everything I've created. I do low fat recipes and they are delicious. Highly recommend
Love my ninja! Took me a few tries to get exactly what I needed, But now it’s wonderful! I use protein drinks which create excellent low fat , high protein enjoyment!!
As someone who owns a lot of Ninja products and has generally been impressed with their performance, I had high expectations for the Ninja® CREAMi® Deluxe. Ninja's products usually live up to their promises, so I was excited to add this to my collection. However, after some time with it, I'm landing on a 3-star rating.
The idea of making a variety of frozen treats at home was very appealing. Unfortunately, the execution hasn't been as flawless as I hoped. The ice cream often comes out too soft, almost like soup, and the sorbet is too icy, needing a remix to get closer to the right texture. This has been a bit of a letdown.
Also, the machine is loud. I mean, really loud. It's something to think about if you're sensitive to noise.
On the positive side, like most Ninja products, it's user-friendly, fits well in the kitchen, and isn't too hard to clean. This aligns with the quality and convenience I've come to expect from Ninja.
But, the price tag is steep. Considering the performance issues and how often I find myself actually using it, I'm questioning the value it offers for the price.
In conclusion, while I usually swear by Ninja products for their reliability and effectiveness, the Ninja® CREAMi® Deluxe has been a mixed experience. It has its strengths, like ease of use and cleaning, but the inconsistency in treat quality, noise level, and high cost are significant drawbacks. It's an okay gadget, but it might not meet everyone's expectations, especially if you're familiar with the usual Ninja standard.

I’m a Ninja fan! The Creami is my fourth Ninja product (pressure cooker, indoor grill, & dual brew), and I LOVE them all! There’s so many low-calorie frozen treats to be dreamed of & made with this machine. My best hint for success is to let your frozen treat set out for about 15-17 minutes before you move it to the Creami for the magic to happen!
I bought this less than a month ago, and the first 2 uses...fantastic! 3rd use, it jams twice. Smelled burned metal, and it took a bit to get lid off. Gear on paddle and on plastic lid dark. Paddle got stuck even after letting ice cream thaw a bit before attempt. The bad part is, I can't get a replacement blade or lid. Out of stock. Does this happen alot? Internet says yes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
