Is the New Ninja Creami Breeze Worth It? You NEED to See this Review!

Find out if the Ninja Creami Breeze NC201 is really an upgrade! If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Creami Deluxe review video, too: • Ninja Creami DELUXE Fr...
In May 2023, Ninja released their brand new and improved Ninja Creami Breeze ice cream maker. Not only does it make ice cream, but you can do shakes, gelato, sorbet, smoothie bowls, and all sorts of other frozen desserts and treats. The biggest difference between this new Ninja Creami Model and the previous ones is that Ninja has managed to make it a little more quiet, more compact, and have eliminated the need for the pitcher that you previously had to drop your pints into for processing. This is the fourth version of the Creami in as many years, and to this day they still are the only ones to have been able to mimic the very expensive, yet industry standard Pacojet. It handles all kinds of jobs really well, and is a better option for making frozen things. Check out this video and you'll be able to see why!

The Ninja Creami Breeze NC201 is Ninja's new ice cream machine, but is it different enough to warrant an upgrade? If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Creami Deluxe review video, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJyvi2Oto9N6oMk

[@thisblackgirloverhere9013]

The reason some people get plastic shaving in their food isn’t because it’s sorbets. It’s because you need to shave the hump that sometimes forms after freezing with a spoon before mixing. That hump can cause the blade to tilt and shave the bowl a little. That’s all it is.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That makes sense, too. I've shaved sbrough thta plenty of times and haven't had any issues though.. Maybe just lucky. In any case, I'm sure Ninja knows about it and needs to maybe stick a label on the pint mentioning it... Will probably save them some warranty calls, anyway.

[@srmarketto]

Heard you wont get the hump if u dont use lid during freezing

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@srmarketto that might be worth trying out.... Also if you are hearing your ingredients like I do, it helps to let them return all the way to room temp before popping in the freezer.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

@thisblackgirloverhere9013 *"That hump can cause the blade to tilt and shave the bowl a little. That’s all it is."* I'm sorry but IMO you're downplaying a serious issue by saying, "That's all it is". Nobody wants to consume plastic and there shouldn't be a learning curve on what to do to prevent that. That's a terrible design and oversight on Ninja's part and should not be excused.

[@tommihommi1]

the hump has nothing to do with the plastic shaving issue. The ice cream or sorbet can ball up above the blade inside the container, and then go in circles around the shaft, pushing it to the side and causing the shavings.

[@dneeceann]

Just ordered the breeze this week. I'm very excited! It was the only model available so the decision was easy.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hope ya like it! It's a nice machine.

[@Dragoninja]

This is a really good video. Mr. Phenominal has pointed out some of the Differences between the Breeze, Deluxe, & Original machines. Not only did he point the Differences, but he also pointed out the Similarities too. 👍

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks! Doing a 3 way direct comparison video right now, too... Too many Creamis laying around now.. haha

[@simpligypsi5503]

Got mine two was ago..use it everyday..love it!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nice.... what's your favorite thing to make in it?

[@wessimpson2544]

I must received my Breeze last week. I love it. Now it’s my first one but i find it easy to use. A little less parts which is good.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Right on! Glad you like it!

[@igloozoo3771]

Same here. I purchased the deluxe last year and returned it right away without using it cause I felt therer was too many parts. I love my Breeze.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@igloozoo3771 The new cup and lid design is really nice.... Makes the old style feel really clunky.

[@judybent1746]

Would like to mention how I clean my lid. I hold the lever open while running water through the holes. If it runs clear, I'm happy that it is clean. Just a little habit I have.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Judy. I do mine the same way.

[@Albertojedi]

My fave Joe's videos are the ones related to Ninja devices🤗🤗

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Alberto!

[@DigitalicaEG]

To clean the inaccessible part of the shaft you can just run it with hot water in the pint. At least that used to work for me in the other models.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That would be a great way to clean it, I think.. That's How I clean my blenders (with a little detergent also). That probably wouldn't help up if there is anything that got past the rubber seal and is just sitting up inside the machine though, I think... It's worth doing anyways though. Good tip!

[@judychase5786]

I have the original Creami and the lid drives me crazy trying to clean it. I didn't realize at first that the ice cream was actually getting into the lid. It was pretty gross with no real way to clean it out. Took a long time of running straight hot water thru all the holes I could find on the lid. Ninja needs to do something about this lid issue.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... They really need to work on that.

[@NessaRossini...]

This Breeze has my attention. 🥰

[@JoesPhenomenal]

They did a nice job on it for sure... kinda wish they added some new function to go with that though.

[@shyamdevadas6099]

Great video. I have one more thing to add to your very detailed assessment. In another video, it is revealed that the internal parts of all three machines are IDENTICAL. This includes the motor and motor controller. From the outside, it looks like the only real differences are in firmware and the drink functions. The drink models are obviously not going to be tilted because of the issue of spillage. Also, the other models with the pitcher would seem to make sense, if they are intended to catch any possible liquid leakage. Just my personal opinion here: As wonderful as the drink features are, the Ninja is a pretty crummy frozen drink machine. If you want to make a shake, a slushy, or a coffee drink there are far faster, cleaner, and more capacious ways to do it. This thing requires you to freeze drink liquids in the special container, add things, mix in things, and then process them for 2-3 minutes. At the end of it, you get a dinky, pint-sized drink and you have to disassemble, clean, and dry everything. I see no compelling reason to not just buy and use a good-quality blender for drinks. You need to have a blender anyway, since the Ninja Creami isn't a substitute. This smaller Ninja is the one I want. While its about the same footprint as the others, it does seem a bit sleeker and less imposing on the counter. The simpler coupling system is a total winner. Thanks for another excellent review!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks! Agree with ya... I wouldn't want to wait a day to make a slushie or frappé or something like that... Unless I already had coffee ice cream or some sorbets or something made... But then I'd have to process the down to make room for the liquid.

[@joshuacooks]

the motors and controllers aren't identical. the german ninja site has detailed specs on all three, as well as the plunge and spin speeds for the different modes. the deluxe is more powerful and has the widest range of spin and plunge speeds.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@@joshuacooks I saw that! I couldn't find it anywhere else but there. I don't know why they made that such a pain in the neck to find. Thanks again, Joshua.

[@joshuacooks]

@@JoesPhenomenal thank you for the fantastic reviews!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@joshuacooks thanks, Joshua. If you want to send me the link to that page with the motor specs, I'd be happy to mention it and pin it to the top so people cna see that...

[@Howard_Hunter_]

Thank you Joe, for this unbiased review. I don't think this technology is there yet. My main concerns are not being able to clean the shaft, possibilty of plastic shavings, and noise level. My Vitamix and Lello can make the same recipes.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Very valid cocerns, Howard. Thanks! I haven't had any issues yet with any of the creami machines in house yet (we have all 3), so I've been trying to look more at the plastic shaving thing to see if there's more to that. The shaft, as far as I can see seems to stay really clean, so maybe the rubber seal is sufficient? Who knows.... works ok on automotive stuff to do it that way, I suppose. That breeze really is a lot more quiet, but by no means is a "quiet" appliance if ya know what I mean!

[@Howard_Hunter_]

​@@JoesPhenomenalI hear ya! My Vitamix is plenty loud. It's neat that you can turn a solid into ice cream, but, that's just another means to achieving the same goal. The Breeze doesn't seem to offer any time or labor saving advantages over the way I make frozen treats now. I'm very happy with my machine.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah. I'd say if you have something that's working out for ya, why change?

[@alinenareau9505]

Hi Joe ❤ Witch recipe you use ? The result you show is fantastic 😊 and look so creamy Thank you very much

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thank you! Here is a link to my ninja creami Playlist. It has all the ice cream recipes I have done in there. The ingredients are in the description of each video. All Creami, All Day!: kzbin.info/aero/PL_7Tp_C-EAJ8WLhJM-I2gTeUYB1mI-2Hm

[@peaceful3250]

I think it's valid to call mix in a separate function. I'll stick with my original Cremi. Good demo, Joe.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Noted! And you're welcome!

[@emilymcauliffe9547]

Along with some other people, My CN205A (Breeze model) broke after 6 days of use. The machine actually smoked - the shaft and paddle stripped. This is not a case of user error. Now this model is not available on the Ninja site - they are selling NC201. Still waiting for my replacement after 2 weeks.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Well, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that. I wonder if the model change has something to do with fixing that. They've been sold out on that NC201 for about that same 2 weeks, so maybe? Hopefully they get that replacement out to you soon. What were you making at the time? I'm going to try to keep track of that and see if maybe there's some sort of pattern.

[@emilymcauliffe9547]

@@JoesPhenomenal Yeah I really miss my machine. I was making protein ice cream with Farelife Milk and pudding. It always came out great. One thing I will do with the new machine is wait 10 min before spinning. And freezing the pints with the lid off at first to avoid the spike.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@emilymcauliffe9547 yeha... That's a wise decision I think.... Always better to make it easier on the machine when you can.

[@MicanaMakeshia]

Thank you for your review, what was the recipe for the first test?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

For this one, I reused my recipe from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onqWiIuHZal6hq8. However, to keep it lower fat, you can leave out the heavy cream, and put in the same amount carbmaster milk and it's fine.

[@mikejones7495]

The answer is NO, I had mine about about three weeks until the motor started to smoke and the blade would fall off in the cup and not come up. Ninja couldn't replace it because they where out of stock. But they did send me a new 501 c as a upgrade for the replacement . I think the problem is the angle of the motor creates more stress on the motor causing to much friction and that is why it failed.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hmmm... Interesting. At least they sent you a Deluxe as a replacement. It's a better machine overall imo. In my case the breeze seems to run a lot cooler, though. Hopefully you just had a defective one but we shall see pretty quick if those issues are rampant. Thanks for the info!

[@Holmeslet92]

I've just bought that model, arrived today (it's my first, although have the food processor/smoothie maker and the 9in1 multicooker fron NINJA) the tub used for this model, is it the same as the one from the older model, only without the big pot-thing around it?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

It's the same size as the original ones (1 pint/2 cups). Instead of dropping it into an outer pitcher like the older ones, the actual pint container has slots on the outside of it, and it connects straight to the machine. The lid is a little smaller and better though.

[@Holmeslet92]

​@@JoesPhenomenal ah, okei thank you! Could you buy pots for the old model and use it for the new, then?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

@Holmeslet92 I wish... The breeze has a special design so it only works on that machine. The deluxe is larger, so the ones from the original one work work on that... So they all use their own special shapes and sizes.

[@SusyCares]

Whats your vanilla receipt? That consistency looked amazing.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Susann. Here goes a link to the creami vanilla ice cream recipe. The only I posted is a no egg version, but you can use eggs in equal portion to the egg replacer and it's all good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onqWiIuHZal6hq8

[@maggie2465]

The only one available for sale now is the Breeze...if I don't own one, would this one be a good started? I mostly want it to make keto friendly ice cream with almond milk or protein and cottage cheese.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Heya Maggie. That's the one I would get if I didn't care about the extra capacity in the deluxe.

[@taniaallan5702]

If you don’t have the deluxe, but you have the original…would you say the Breeze is worth buying or it’s the same?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

If you have the original, it's going to work exactly the same way except for the reduction in parts and the slightly smaller footprint. For me, I wouldn't upgrade just for that. It's an improvement, but not enough to warrant another $200US, IMO

[@stllady1827]

Ninja needs to work out the design flaws, period! We should be able to take the Spindle area apart, and those issues with the lid. We're dealing with DAIRY!😮 Returned mine unused, I'm not pussy-footing around design flaws of a $200 machine!😮

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Totally agree. Ninja had a history of making their stuff hard to clean for whatever reason. However, I did do a video on here in response to that concern and took one apart that I've had a while to inspect the insides, and it turned out nice and clean. So that's encouraging.

[@missyleng]

Those plastic lids suck, went through three! Called ninja they won’t have an in stock until July 8, apparently they were not expecting this issue that’s why they are out of stock! Thank you Joe also made a sound proof cupboard with styrofoam

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks Missy! That's awesome that you soundproofed an ear for it.. Haha. Are you talking about the breezy lids or the deluxe lids? I felt like the new ones were quite a bit better... Hopefully so.

[@missyleng]

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hopefully they figure that out. I dunno why I haven't had any lid issues yet..... Probably just jinxed myself.

[@AmySwayzee]

Ive had one for little over 90 days. Their warranty doeant cover the lid or the blade. Now im concernes about the retractable spindle that cant be cleaned growing things in my kitchen.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I don't worry toooo much about the spindle. The rubber seal is pretty decent, and also, you'll notice that when it processes, it pushes everything away from the center, so most of the ice cream doesn't really stick too much on it. Just have tobe mindful to clean that gear on the end really well, and also the inside of the blade. Wish it was easier to clean the inside of the lid though.

[@JaqlynsTouch]

HELP!! MY lock light and power light continues to flash and no other lights will light up. I've done everything!! What is wrong?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Take a look at the lid that goes on.top of the pitcher. It's the part that the blade rests in. On the outside of it on the top, there is a little nub that pops up with it locks into the creami. That nub can get broken off, and if it does, the creami won't know it's locked in there. Happened to me one time with my original creami and had to replace the lid.

[@THE_CHOAS_ENGINE]

100% correct. Once the tab os broke the only elegant fix is a new lid. But an easy hack... i cut up amd folded a piece of cardboard and inserted it into the under upper side of ye machine so the machine now always senses the lid is installed. ​@JoesPhenomenal

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That's some MacGyver stuff right there. Haha

[@bryanecek]

Is this machine/maker loud?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

It's a little quieter than the other models, but it's not a "quiet" machine.... It's about 78 dB when running.
