Ninja Creami drops to $180 for Black Friday — make fresh ice cream at home
Black Friday has delivered a tasty discount: the Ninja Creami ice-cream maker is on sale for $180 (down from $230), the lowest price we’ve seen this year. It’s a compact countertop machine that turns frozen bases into ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes and more, making it easy to customize flavors and ingredients.
The Creami works by freezing your liquid base in the included pint containers (about 24 hours in the freezer), then using the machine to blend and reshape the frozen mix into scoopable treats. Components are mostly dishwasher-safe, and Ninja includes two pint containers with lids — handy for prepping multiple flavors or storing leftovers.
Key features
- Seven one-touch programs including ice cream, sorbet and milkshake.
- Compact footprint compared with some rival machines, but still requires freezer space for pint containers.
- Most parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
- Includes two pint containers with lids for prepping and storage.
- Can be loud during operation — plan to run it when noise won’t bother others.
Who it’s for
If you enjoy making desserts from scratch, have limited counter space, or need strict control over ingredients for allergies or diet preferences, the Creami is a great Black Friday buy at $180. It’s also a fun gadget for families who want creative flavor variations and mix-ins.
Alternatives
If you want soft-serve capabilities or a more advanced machine, Ninja’s Swirl model can make both regular and soft-serve treats — current QVC pricing ranges around $280 (down from $350) depending on the sale. Consider whether soft-serve and extra features are worth the higher price for your needs.
