Quick Take
The Ninja Creami Deluxe takes the viral original and supersizes it. You get 11 one touch programs, extra large 24 ounce tubs, and the ability to spin two flavors from a single base. At $249.99 it costs more than the standard Creami, but the added capacity and programs justify it for households that actually use it weekly.
What We Like
- Turns almost anything into ice cream, sorbet, gelato, or frozen drinks
- XL 24 ounce tubs hold 50 percent more than the original model
- Total ingredient control for high protein, low sugar, or dairy free recipes
- Simple three step process: prepare, freeze, then process
- All parts are dishwasher safe and BPA free
What We Don’t Like
- Bases must freeze for 24 hours before spinning, so no spontaneous dessert
- Loud during processing, like a strong blender having a bad day
- Bulky footprint eats meaningful counter or cabinet space
- $249.99 is a real premium over the standard Creami

Quality
The Deluxe feels like a serious appliance. The motor base houses dual drive motors that power the Creamerizer paddle, and the whole unit weighs over 15 pounds, so it stays planted while it works. The two 24 ounce tubs, outer bowl, and lid all feel sturdy, and every removable part is dishwasher safe. Ninja backs it with a one year limited warranty, which is standard but not generous at this price.
Value
At $249.99 the Deluxe sits $50 above the original Creami, and the math only works if you use it. A household making two pints a week instead of buying premium pints at the store can break even in a few months, especially with cheaper homemade bases. If you will only spin occasionally, the standard Creami or a basic ice cream maker costs less and does the core job.
Who Should Buy It
Anyone who makes frozen treats weekly and wants bigger batches, more variety, and full control over ingredients.
Who Should Skip It
If you want dessert right now with zero planning, the 24 hour freeze requirement will drive you mad. Small kitchens should measure twice.
FINAL VERDICT
The Creami Deluxe earns its hype. The bigger tubs and extra programs make it meaningfully better than the original for real users, and the results genuinely rival store bought premium pints. It is loud, bulky, and demands planning, but nothing else turns a frozen block into custom ice cream this well.
