Ninja Creami DELUXE Frozen Treat Maker Review! | Model

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Friday, we will be publishing our direct comparison video between this new Ninja Creami Deluxe, and the old Ninja Creami! So, that might be fun to watch. If you liked this video, you might like this Ivation compressor ice cream maker review video, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWeqnpyDmduHa9E

[@Chickwan]

Just wanted to get my girlfriend an ice cream maker for her birthday and after cycling through some of your videos I can say you've helped me make my decision. Thank you so much!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You're welcome! Glad I could help ya out.

[@BryanGrandyCA]

Well done, thorough review. Thanks!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You are very welcome.

[@MsBobip]

Excellent review! Thank you for the detail you put into it. You touched on the improvements from the previous model but kept it short and to the point. We saw this at Costco this week and decided to check into it. Your review put us over the top and we will go and pick one up next week. Summer is coming and I like that we can make slushies with Crystal Light, making that a healthy option. Also, I use to buy frozen fruit and blend it in my food processor. I believe this will make the process easier, less messy, and create more of a smoother product. Also, the add in feature, I can hold back some of the frozen fruit to give it a pretty, texture feel.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Glad to help! Costco has those for a fantastic price right now.

[@sean321a]

Enjoyed the review Joe. Thanks for the great content. Looking forward to the comparison video with the previous model.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Sean!

[@Richplaceholder]

Nice review, my coworker got one for christmas and showed it to me and now i want one. Pineapple sorbet is so good.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thank you! It is! It's my favorite sorbet flavor.

[@kinglord5429]

Had this since Christmas and still haven't taken it out of the box. BJ's had sales on fatboy ice cream so been buying that.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Fat boy ice cream sandwiches are tough to beat.

[@davorbrajkovic2128]

Great video as always. You are far better than anyone.🏅 Thank you.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate that.

[@AereForst]

Your freezer is abnormally clean. I’m envious.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Haha! I try..... but I have to keep it that way since it's gonna be public like that.

[@philfoster1511]

Great video as always! Really want you to review the Ninja Woodfire Grill next!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I was juts looking at those.... Gonna have to put it on the list!

[@terrijuanette486]

They need a plastic 'cage' or cover for the Ninja Creami. I bought my blentec instead of another Vitamix when my last Vitamix bit the dirt because of the plastic sound cover. What a game changer!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah...Those help with the noise waaaaay more than people realize!

[@cheryln7564]

Thanks for sharing…the loud noise is definitely the deal breaker.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeha.. That can be rough on people... Especially if they have really sensitive ears.

[@TheFrenchieConnection]

More treats! Yeah! 😊

[@Twelve057]

Can you show the mix-in feature after processing a half-pint? I’d like to see how that works when you want to mix-in the top half.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thats a great idea! I'll do a video showing how to do mix-ins on he top half, bottom half, and full pint. Should be able to get that scheduled and uploaded before the year is out!

[@veegee8088]

Hi Joe! Thank you for the reviews. Great job explaining the machine to us. I am sold! I saw both Creami comparison and my question is: which one of the Creamis are the loudest? Just about the same? Just wondering in order to make a decision. Thank you!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Thanks, Vee. They are about the same as far as noise. The deluxe might be a tiny bit louder, but that may just be my imagination.

[@mastermind6767]

Worth an upgrade if you already have the original one? Any differences making frozen yogurt on the exclusive setting on the deluxe vs the old model?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I have a direct comparison video between the two coming online on Friday. The results on the 2 machines are pretty identical though. Still haven't tested the Froyo setting, however. Will be doing that today.

[@janastockwell7186]

I have this question too!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Actually doing blueberry froyo on both machines in the morning.. The old one doesn't have a setting for it, so I might throw that one on the Gelato setting.

[@doadventurewell]

hey! So with your experience, do you think the deluxe is much better as far as durability considering you can use water in recipes without worry (when compared to the original where you're not supposed to use straight water)? I would prefer the smaller pint-sized containers, but if I'm going to spend $200 on an ice cream machine, I'd like to be able to make whatever I want and not have to worry every time that it might break on me, if you know what I mean!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I'm gonna guess that the durability is very similar to the original. There isn't a power bump or anything, so probably all thr same parts in the drive mechanism. I still would use frozen water it... The amount you can hear it trying with stuff like syrup doesn't make me think it will Be able to handle that too many times. I could be wrong, but it makes me uneasy.

[@doadventurewell]

@@JoesPhenomenal Okay thanks for the input! Might stick with the small one then (:

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Any time!

[@jeanpowell981]

I just ordered the Creami Deluxe and have been watching several of your recipes. I notice you change the type of milk you use often. Typically I use Fair Life Whole milk and it’s just me using milk. Will that work in most recipes? Thanks.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Yeah... I like the fairlife stuff too. I just change the milk up so it gets out to a wider range of people.

[@Cheryldianeb]

I was really hoping to see the Sorbet, how you prepare it? Any chance that's coming up?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Sure! I actually have all of our Ninja Creami content on a playlist. Here goes the link: kzbin.info/aero/PL_7Tp_C-EAJ8WLhJM-I2gTeUYB1mI-2Hm. I don't have any sorbet on it for some reason, so I will do a video for that next for you!

[@dontsurroundurselfwithurself]

Hey Joe, great review as always. I was never able to get ice cream that wasn't powdery out of the original Creami, so maybe I'll better luck with this one. I was really disappointed with the OG because my family is like an ice-cream eating tornado, strong enough to swoop up Dorothy and her little dog Toto, too - if they were both made of ice cream.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

When it powdery like that, try pouring a little bit of milk or cream into the pint before you respin. Thta might fix it up.

[@denagustafson6070]

This is such a surprise to hear. I’m a complete novice to ice cream making, I followed no recipe and I have yet to produce anything but the creamiest ice cream my family has ever enjoyed with our Creami. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. Wondering if your machine had a faulty motor or broken part?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

That happens sometimes if you use certain ingredients.. You can always add a tiny bit of milk or cream, and respin. That'll fix it right up.

[@signalfire6691]

It's powdery because it's still too cold. Probably your freezer is set very low. If you microwave the frozen container for 10-15-30 seconds depending on how much water vs. fats is in the mix, just to warm it up a tad, it may very well process correctly the first time. I used to own a frozen custard business and sold pints and quarts of the stuff. It's got very little air (called overrun in the business) and therefore was rock hard out of a freezer. Nuking it for 15-20 seconds depending on how much was in the container made it a lot easier for customers to scoop and recreated the 'right out of the store' texture. Works the same for the Ninja which has to work really hard to process the right-out-of-the fridge mixture. They suggest to 'leave it out for several minutes before you process it' but the microwave is quicker. It also tends to slightly warm the stuff on the outside of the container more so than inside - also making it easier to scoop.

[@stevenelson5481]

How long have you been using the Ninja Creami, have you had any problems with it…I was considering buying one but I’ve seen ALOT of bad reviews on Amazon…Motor burned out, the creami blade came off while using, cut up the side of the pint containers-plastic particles in the ice cream, black powder coming out from the machine and so on…after using a couple months (10+ times). Have you experienced any problems similar to this?

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Nothing yet... and we have 2 here.. the orginal and the new deluxe model. I wonder how many of those reviews could be based on using stuff in it that you're not supposed to though. For sorbets, the manual is super specific about which can and can't be used due to hardness, and I know you have to use different settings between real sugar and substitutes. Also, fruit packed in water is supposed be be a no no as well... There's some hoops to jump through for sure, and if the mix ends up too hard, I can see all of the above going wrong with it.... or I could be lucky. Time will tell, but we make a lot of creami content, and haven't had anything weird going on yet. (knock on wood)

[@nicolealbright1612]

I had plastic particles in mine after 3 weeks of use(not heavy use, just regular). They sent me replacement cups and an upgraded brand new machine. We shall see if the same thing happens.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Was the paddle hitting the inside of the pint cups?

[@nicolealbright1612]

@@JoesPhenomenal Yes, it was scratching the side. I noticed it on 3 of my 4 containers.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hmm.... It should have been clearing the sides, that paddle is supposed to stay about a mm from them.... Maybe the shaft that comes down was a little tweaked to one side. It's nice that they're replacing it for you instead of making you do a bunch of annoying stuff.

[@justinyates2803]

didn't know they had a deluxe. good video tho!

[@JoesPhenomenal]

No idea. But I know they just released it here, so hopefully for Christmas or shortly after?

[@ismaeldiallo2476]

@@JoesPhenomenal thank you for that do you think I should buy the creami or wait for the deluxe

[@JoesPhenomenal]

It was for me, I'd try to wait, but if you already had the older one, I'd say you probably don't really need the upgrade.

[@Ramirez1of08]

Kohls has it for $195

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Not bad at all! I think Costco had them at 179 also.

I can’t find this anywhere to buy it’s 250.00$ on ninja but Amazon has it for 379.00 I’m not paying that over priced. Anyone know where I can buy this unit thanks.

Whoa... Looks like retailers gouging. For that price, I'd wait til Ninja gets them back in stock. If did see it for 279 on Kohls website though a few mins ago.

[@michellewolfe1956]

I recently got the regular ninja creami and sometimes while processing it seems to bog down and cause the machine to shake, does this one do that? Also do you notice if this one processes better to avoid respins? I usually have to respond mine 2 or 3 times.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I know the wobble you're talking about. I haven't noticed it as much, but I'm still doing testing for the comparison video coming out on Friday. As far as respins go, I haven't had to do it a ton even on the older machine.... maybe once here and there.. It might hve something to do with the ingredients that I'm using, however.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hmmm.. I've never had to do anything like that for good results... You must have a pretty badass freezer? Could be a difference in ingredients used, also.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

When I have that happen, I pour a little bit of milk or cream into the pint before I respin it, and it seems to do the trick.

[@signalfire6691]

@@JoesPhenomenal Yes, many of the problems people are having is because their freezers are set REALLY cold. Nuke the container before you process it, for between 10-25 seconds generally speaking depending on the power of the microwave and how much water/fat is in the mix. It'll take some of the stress off the Ninja.

[@lizlauman3004]

Any other healthy receipt. I don't eat sugar and don't use processed food

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Hi Liz. Were you looking for Ninja Creami content? If so, I have all of mine in a playlist. Here it goes if you need it: kzbin.info/aero/PL_7Tp_C-EAJ8WLhJM-I2gTeUYB1mI-2Hm

[@spring_ideas]

Hello I am new in your Chanel I like your videos I subscribed your Chanel and share videos. Please can you make these four recipes on original Ninja creame machine. Thanks 😊

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I Spring! Will do! We also have all of our Creami content in a playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PL_7Tp_C-EAJ8WLhJM-I2gTeUYB1mI-2Hm. Most of the recipes are done on the original creami but conversion between that and the creami deluxe is pretty easy. Everything is just 1/3 more for the deluxe since it's larger.

[@KayoMichiels]

Why call it a Deluxe.. if it's in actual an XL... Deluxe i would think it was the same machine with some extra functions and even some better construction.. but in reality it's a bigger machine with extra function and the cups are not interchangeable with the original one...

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I'm right there with ya. I do like the extra size, though. Something more that separates it would have been pretty great though... Like maybe th ability to freeze and churn on the fly if you chose to.

[@calm1047]

More functions are the difference! You can make different 🍸 drinks!

[@skykitchen867]

For the price of this thing, you can get a self-compressed ice cream machine. Pour in your ingredients, turn it on, and half hour later you have fresh ice cream. This machine is too much theatrics.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You know what? I originally thought the exact same thing about these creami machines. I still use both that and my compressor machine, however. At the end of the day, the resulting ice cream you get out of the creami after the whole fiasco with it is fantastic! The texture is just really great. It really grew on me because of that. When I want something right away, I will still use the compressor machine though... also If I want a nice soft serve, it's a better option for me as well.

[@LarryRichelli]

I have a question that I am finding hard to get an answer to. On the original Creami the containers were called a pint and now on the larger containers of the Creami deluxe they are called pints also. So what gives. Please answer this question. Thanks and please try going Vegan.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

Heya, Larry. The original creami pint is just that.. It's called a Creami pint, and holds a pint (2 cups). When they released the deluxe version, they kept calling it a pint, but the capacity went up to 3 cups.... So it isn't correct, measurement-wise... Nice and confusing, right? Ninja uses the term "creami pint" as the name of the component, but not as a distinct unit of measurement. Hope that helps!

[@theaterchef]

Pacojet is more like $6k to $7k now.

[@JoesPhenomenal]

I believe it.. I think I saw a used one at something like 3900.

@@calm1047 I never had a issue with the noise myself.... was thinking maybe something to do with people that have really sensitive ears and are prone to migranes or something along those lines.

[@310frankg]

I hate the part that you have to wait 24 hours to freeze for everything SMH

[@JoesPhenomenal]

You know... I felt the same way and my original review way back reflected that. Didn't like the time involved at all.... especially, when you can get it done in a couple of hours tops with a compressor based churner. It really kinda grew on my though over time, and the new version has better capacity, which was my only other real complaint. If you can manage the time issue (which I overcome by just making a bunch of pints at the same time so I always have stuff in the freezer for whenever), the resulting ic cream is REALLY nice. excellent firmness and texture. Definitely took me a while to come around though and I can understand where you're coming from.

[@310frankg]

@@JoesPhenomenal I will return mine it's not worth my time and money when thanks to the recipe book I know how to make ice cream with out needing to waste so much money on a machine that only whips frozen mixed when I could do it with my own hands and a hand blender that only cost $20 bucks
