We love ice cream!  The problem is that we live where it is hot nearly all year long and even with a cooler in the car, it is hard to get frozen treats home before they are a mess.  We have been considering an ice cream maker for sometime, and we are absolutely delighted with the Ninja CREAMi!  It did take me a bit to get used to it, but the instructions were easy to follow and they had recipes that were easy to make and customize for various flavors and mix-ins.  Our whole family has enjoyed this machine immensely.  Great machine and great family fun times!
