Ninja Swirl by CREAMi Ice Cream and Soft Serve Maker, Sorbet, Milkshake, Frozen Yogurt, Low Calories Program & More, 13-in-1, Soft Serve Handle, (2) CREAMi Swirl 16oz Pints, For Kids & ALL ages, NC701

Excellent product. Makes incredible quality ice cream and frozen treats. Very versatile and many different recipes.Only critiques: The machine is fairly large in size compared to the pint containers you insert into it. It takes up a decent footprint on a countertop (if you want to leave it out) and is heavier than the typical small kitchen appliance (making it less ideal to store and have to get out each time to use). It is also quite noisy. Hopefully these are some factors that Ninja can optimize in future models.

The Ninja Swirl has seriously leveled up dessert at our house. We’ve made soft serve, milkshakes, sorbet—you name it. The texture is smooth, the process is easy, and the cleanup isn’t bad either. I was a little skeptical at first, but it’s legit.We’ve started making our own “copycat” DQ Blizzards and frozen yogurt bowls, and it’s actually saving us money. You can load it up with toppings or keep it simple with just fruit, and it handles both like a champ.I’d highly recommend grabbing the extra containers too (we got a couple more)—it’s super convenient to prep a few different flavors and just swap them in whenever.If you’re even halfway into ice cream or frozen treats, you won’t regret buying this. It’s a hit in our house.

Very well engineered for flawless operation and easy set up and clean up. And so delicious! Just an amazing product. Be warned it is loud when operating and takes up space on counter-but oh so worth it. Healthy treats! We love low fat greek yogurt with frozen fruits. Easy peasy. Worth the investment.

Bought this as a gift for a friend, and he loves it! Week after week, he’s perfecting his soft serve creations. Easy to use, fun, and consistently delivers smooth results. This machine is an absolute hit.

I was really excited to try the Ninja Creami Swirl, and I have to say, it does what it promises: it makes genuinely good ice cream. It's been a fantastic way to turn my protein shakes into a much more enjoyable treat.The Good:The core function is great. The ice cream texture is impressive, although I found that adding a splash of milk to the top of the frozen pint before spinning helps the machine get started and results in a smoother consistency. I also appreciate the design touch of the pint clicking securely into place; it's a small but satisfying detail that lets you know it's ready.The Not-So-Good:Unfortunately, my experience came with a few frustrations. First, this machine is LOUD. It's definitely something to be aware of if you have a small living space or sensitive ears. I also frequently had to run the cycle twice to get the right texture, which adds to the noise and time.There were also some operational quirks. On several occasions, the machine just wouldn't start, forcing me to take the pint out and reseat it. I also noticed the blades would get a strange oily residue on them, and I couldn't figure out why.Sizing and Final Thoughts:My biggest disappointment was with the 'Swirl' version itself. The portion size for the ice cream feels too small to justify the feature. If I were to buy one again, I would skip the Swirl and go for either the standard model or upgrade to the Deluxe for the larger pint capacity.Ultimately, I ended up returning the unit because it arrived with a broken pint. Combined with the other small issues, I decided not to get a replacement just yet. It's a really good product in concept, but the execution has some flaws that made it not the right fit for me.

Amazing product - easy to use and easy to clean and maintain. Well developed product with multiple options. The containers are self contained when you plug them in - so the machine itself never gets messy! Just simply wash out the containers once done and you’re all set! Functions as advertised, quick clean, quick use (freezing the cream takes 24 hours but actually making the soft serve only takes a few minutes!). Beautiful design, great size - fits nice on a countertop. Taste is dependent on your ice cream developing skills - there are many recipe books out there, but it’s easy to make simple flavors. 10/10!

5 out of 5 stars! I absolutely love my Ninja Swirl. I use it primarily for healthier high protein ice creams and they turn out delicious. The machine works great, although a bit loud. The swirl setting to make ice cream cones is always fun. The kids love it. I would recommend this machine to anyone that loves ice cream.

Summer Time Game Changer - y’all I just made ice cream out of apple sauce! My kids loved it and I loved that it’s a snack I normally give them. So far we have used yogurt, apple sauce, pudding, chocolate milk mixed with bananas, coffee with creamer (hubby loves this one!) and blended fruit. When my kids ask for ice cream every day I have no problem obliging. This does take prep though as the containers have to be frozen ~24 before you begin - but we bought a few extra so we also keep some on hand in the freezer. I also keep some pints only half full so that it’s a better portion for my kids to spilt which works great. A downside- it is incredibly loud. No ice cream snacks for mom and dad after kids go to bed (at least in our household) also the swirl handle is not my favorite but it gets the job done. The handle isn’t as sensitive to smaller movements and then comes out pretty fast but I’m getting the hang of it. Also freezing the pint after you “creamify” it does work well. If you want to save leftovers you have to re-spin them to get consistency back. But overall well worth the purchase!
