Ice cream is the perfect tasty treat to help cool down during hot weather. Ahead of this week’s heatwave, Ninja has slashed the price of its CREAMi Deluxe 10-in-1 Ice Cream and Frozen Drink Marker. Originally priced at £275.98, the gadget can now be purchased for £216, a £60 saving.
The website-exclusive Ninja CREAMi Deluxe bundle includes the machine and five handy tubs with lids to store the ice cream in. The gadget can be used to make a variety of cold treats, with it offering 10 simple one-touch programmes; Ice Cream, Sorbet, Light Ice Cream, Gelato, Milkshake, Mix-In, Frappe, Frozen Drink, Slushi and Frozen Yoghurt. This CREAMi makes ‘50% more ice cream’ than previous models, with creations ready ‘in minutes’.
There are similar kitchen appliances on the market, however few make as many frozen treats as the Ninja CREAMi. Shoppers who are only after a machine that makes ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt may be interested in the Cuisinart 2L Deluxe Ice Cream Maker that’s currently on sale at Argos for £85 and makes ice cream ‘in 25 minutes’.
For those looking for a cheaper alternative, Lakeland is currently offering a £10 discount on its Digital Ice Cream Maker, now priced at £39.99. This gadget also only makes ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt, with creations ready ‘in as little as 40 minutes’.
The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe has earned an overall score of 4.5 out of five from over 170 shoppers. One impressed buyer wrote: “Excellent product, fun and easy to use. Comes with recipe ideas and really clear instructions on how to use.”
A second happy customer wrote: “Arrived the next day after ordering online. Easy to use, great instructions and recipe suggestions. Makes incredibly smooth ice cream.”
Someone else said: “Absolutely worth it. I’ve made frappes, sorbets and have been so satisfied with everything. Absolutely love the new functions. A great machine and product. Especially with the extra tubs.”
Sadly one buyer was left disappointed, as they commented: “Very loud and very expensive for what you get. Wouldn’t buy again. Seems to produce cold slush each time.”
However, another glowing five-star review for the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe reads: “I was bought this for Christmas, I absolutely love it. It was easy to set-up and use. It’s also easy to clean. I highly recommend this product. I have many Ninja items and can honestly say this doesn’t disappoint.
“If you’re like our household and money is tight, you might think this is an extravagant purchase, but when my grandchildren come to stay, they always want ice-cream/milkshakes and even slushi from our local shop, so this actually saves us money in the long run. It’s value for money.
“Makes the best creamy ice-cream, the milkshakes are really good, too. You can get many different recipes and buy extra tubs. I haven’t used all the settings yet, but I love everything I have tried. You can buy ice-cream mix online and this is a quick and easy cheat.”
