Over the summer, our Instagram and TikTok feeds were full of Ninja Creami creations. From protein powder milkshake to fresh lemon sorbet, the Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker promises that frozen desserts are easy to make at home. During Amazon Big Deal Days, it's your time to take a chance on the appliance of the year: it's 20% off. The current deal is close to what we saw during July's Prime Day. That deal sold out within hours, so if you're interested in grabbing the Creami at a discount, we recommend acting fast.
For the rest of the top-rated deals, check out our Prime Day hub to save on kitchen tools, home goods, and more.
Why buy the Ninja Creami
The Ninja Creami stands out for its versatility (seven settings) and the relatively compact size (just over a foot at its largest point). The process is highly customizable, so you can explore the world of frozen desserts, from thick Fruity Pebbles milkshakes to vegan almond milk ice cream.
It's not quite as easy as pulling a pint out of the fridge: You do have to freeze the base and liquid mixture for 24 hours before you use it. Still, the only home ice cream makers that are close to automatic are compressor machines, like the Cuisinart ICE. These are bulky and expensive, so many will prefer a sleek, automatic Ninja Creami-style model.
Once the base is frozen solid, you simply reattach to the main machine and press a button. The "creamifying" involves the center blade shaving off pieces of the frozen mixture and whipping them together. It takes about two minutes, and there is a "re-spin" setting for when the texture isn't quite right the first time.
The Ninja Creami Deluxe is also on sale for $220 at Amazon, but that's $20 more than the summer discount. If you're eyeing the frozen yogurt and Slushi settings on the Deluxe, we recommend waiting until Black Friday to see if you get a better deal.
