One shopper said it was "straightforward to use", adding: "The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe Ice Cream Maker has been an absolute delight for my kitchen! It’s incredibly versatile, allowing me to make everything from ice cream and gelato to sorbets, frozen yoghurt, and even milkshakes.
With 10 functions, the possibilities are endless, and the 2-in-1 flavour option is a fun way to experiment with unique combinations." Another agreed: "This is one of the best kitchen appliances I have ever bought, and at a good price too! I love it. It looks amazing; it fits perfectly on the counter and makes the best homemade sorbet and ice cream.
" While a third said: "We have had our Ninja CREAMi Deluxe for about 6 months now, and we absolutely love it. I don’t think that there hasn’t been a day where we have not used it. The quality of the ice cream is fantastic, and I love how you can make ice cream in 1-3 minutes after preparing the base.
" However, some customers had a few more critical notes to share. "The device itself is quite tall that can make it a little tricky to fit in tight spaces," warned one. Another noted: "Your CREAMi is not a blender or a grinder or a food processor.
So all fruits and ingredients need to be liquidized or blended before being frozen." For an alternative gadget at a lower price point, Currys is selling the Giles & Posner Ice Cream maker for £32.99 .
For a more premium buy, Sage has The Smart Scoop at £369.95 . But for a tried and tested ice cream maker that has a well-deserved reputation, look no further than the Ninja CREAMi .
