You must be the best dad in the world! That was the best demonstration and explanation of any product I've seen on the internet! It was exactly what was needed to know for common citizens, the pros and cons of each, and no extraneous diatribe whatsoever. If I could give you more than one like, would've hit it many more times. Thank you very much for your clear, pragmatic, common sense, most understandable video!
I have been making homemade ice cream for decades. My first two ice cream makers were White Mountain 4 quart electric ice cream makers that used ice and rock salt. My third ice cream maker was a 2-quart Cuisinart freezer bowl ice cream maker. This year, when the motor on my Cuisinart died, I purchased my fourth ice cream maker, a 1-pint Ninja Creami. Here are my opinions of the three types of ice cream makers I have used: 1. I prefer the large batch size of the White Mountain. 2. I prefer the soft-serve ice cream texture of the White Mountain and the Cuisinart. 3. Achieving the soft-serve texture is easier with the Cuisinart compared to the White Mountain. 4. I preferred the White Mountain and the Cuisinart when I had large freezer space. 5. I prefer the Ninja now that I have small freezer space. 6 I prefer the small batch size of the Ninja when I only want to make a small batch of a new recipe. For example, this week, it was very easy to make a 1-pint batch of orange sherbet. I had never tried it in my White Mountain or my Cuisinart because making 2-quart or 4-quart experimental batches was too much and too difficult. Thank you for your video.
$200+ seems like a lot of money to spend on an ice cream maker that only makes about a pint of ice cream. When our children were little we had a "Nostalgia" motorized old fashioned style ice cream maker. The kind that needed ice cubes and salt. It could make a full gallon. And after making it you could keep the ice cream and serve it right from the aluminum container it was made in. As it came with a lid. Is it just me? Or are manufacturers today trying to dazzle us with bells and whistles? Thanks for the review JAD!
The Creami is based off of an extremely popular commercial restaurant design called a PacoJet which costs $5,000+. The PacoJet patent ended in 2017 which is when Ninja decided to make a home version. Also, it's technically 3+ pints since it comes with 3 containers as standard and you can always buy more.
Thank you for the demonstration of the 2 ice cream makers. I like the Ninja best for a few reasons. Even though it's a little nosier it cleans up easier.
We had to return our ninja creami because it would not produce hard ice cream. Even after leaving the icecream in the freezer for 48 hrs once we went to make ice cream it would turn it into a soft serve not hard. Now waiting on the KitchenAid icecream attachment bowl to arrive in a couple of days. It should work on the same line of the Cuisinart but a little less cost.
I like the Ninja better. Because the Cuisinart ice cream.. you’re gonna have to put it back in the freezer to get hard. That’s way too soft for me. Thank you for the comparison.
I have the Cuisinart and what I prefer about that one is I can make ice cream last min. Last week I had a craving and it took me about 5 minutes to mix it all together and put it in the machine. ( We keep the bowl in the freezer) then 25 min later... Ice cream. With the ninja, it sounds like you could not do that, you have to have the mix frozen overnight. Now if you don't keep the bowl frozen, you still would not be able to make last min ice cream. Looks like both are good options. (I LOVE all my Ninja products) Honestly, the clean up for me is no biggie. Rinse the bowl with water and throw it back in the freezer.
But he mentions that in addition to freezing the base, you need to place the ice cream mixture into the refrigerator for a few hours before being able to make it in the machine.
If I had children, I would go for the cuisnart since it makes a bigger amount of icecream. I prefer the Ninja for myself bc its easier to just make a pint and quickly clean all the dishes lol
Here in india, weather is very hot so the cuisineart maker does not work even if you pre freeze the bowl for 2 days. It gets warm really fast and ice cream is still liquid after churning. Ninja creami works much better
The ninja creamy is more louder than Cuisinart and faster and it slows down and it has a built-in timer on a ninja creamy butter Cuisinart. It’s got a very high tech display.
Ninja has a history of the blade popping off and staying in the ice cream. We’ve had 3 of them. All did the same thing after using 6-8 times. So far… 1 cuisinart in, same machine being used
Try for your mixture to freeze flat, if its sideways or has a lot of unflatened surfaces, the blade is gonna get damaged faster. (Sorry for my English)
From what you are really telling us, is with Cuisinart 2 ice cream maker you can start mixing in the machine at the beginning of dinner and eat your desert when everyone is done eating dinner. No serious planning ahead to make ice cream. That is a serious consideration to think about. A about 30 min make time, or even max 2hrs 30min if you want it even firmer. While a required 24hrs plus wait time for ninja. Ninja needs more than 24hrs to freeze prep & make the shaved ice cream desert in 5 plus min + more time for fixings, equaling about 24hrs and 10min. Ninja you really need 24hrs before you can to eat your ice cream. While the other, Cuisinart 2, is done in 30 mins with adding mixing as it makes real ice cream, and eat. Now if you want to cool for 2hrs the ice cream mix to make it firmer, you are looking at a 2hrs and 30min total time for Cuisinart 2. The longer you leave the ice cream in the cold bowl mixing bowl the firmer it can get. What you don't use just freeze - which hardens it further and eat later. Just like store bought. Cuisinart 2 you make your ice cream the same day. Don't you think that's a really important point?
I found the Creami to be very smooth for the most part. My daughter did a Slushi the other day and the ice was so fine the texture was almost like corn flour. Most of the Creami recipes have less air mixed in than probably any ice cream you've tried. Because of this the Ice cream feels colder but melts faster and the flavours tend to be more intense.

I love my Cuisinart it makes enough icecream for me my husband, my daughter, and all 3 of my grandkids.
Perfect timing, you review just popped up in my notifications and I just purchased the Cuisinart, arrived today!
Hope you enjoy it!

Just for the clean up alone, I would go with the Ninja.
yep!
Gracias excelente explicación visual, voy a comprar Cuisinart .
I love my ninja creami delux just arrived in Australia ❤
Thank you! This helped me a lot in deciding which device to choose out of the two!
Glad I could help!

This seems to be the biggest difference... do you want ice cream right now? Or tomorrow...LOL

This was a great review 👏🏼 all the info that I needed to make my decision 👍🏼

The Cuisinart sounds just like mine. I actually have one of these.
The ninja creamy is more louder than Cuisinart and faster and it slows down and it has a built-in timer on a ninja creamy butter Cuisinart. It’s got a very high tech display.
Thanks
Does anyone find that the Ninja IC melts quickly, even on the spoon as you're eating it?
I like the Cuisinart better.
Is bowl aluminum or stainless steel
Ninja has a history of the blade popping off and staying in the ice cream. We’ve had 3 of them. All did the same thing after using 6-8 times. So far… 1 cuisinart in, same machine being used

You lost me at freeze overnight with the creami. I keep the Cuisinart freezer bowl in the freezer.
Ninja wins this one.👍
For sure!
Which one is your favorite?
Ninja for sure
In the Ninja is the ice cream, creamy or icy
it does have a little ice but not much
I found the Creami to be very smooth for the most part.
My daughter did a Slushi the other day and the ice was so fine the texture was almost like corn flour.
Most of the Creami recipes have less air mixed in than probably any ice cream you've tried.
Because of this the Ice cream feels colder but melts faster and the flavours tend to be more intense.
