I was IN LOVE with my creami. I told anyone who would listen how this machine was literally changing my life because as a gastric sleeve patient, protein is a top priority for me and protein low cal ice cream that tastes amazing!? Um yes please!!

Then came the letdown. The blade always seemed a bit fiddly and unstable but I put my concern down to not being an engineer and understanding the magic creamifying action. I should have trusted my gut. The blade came off in my ice cream whilst making a horrid screeching noise. We quickly shut it off (sounds like when you’re stripping a drill but). I rescued the blade, cleaned everything carefully, inspected it all and tried again. Same problem. Tried a new pint. Same problem. I reached up to where the rod would meet with the blade and I found charred bits. I suspect we must have caught it before it burst into flames. I’m furious. I’ve only had it 2 weeks and we’ve been meticulous in our use.
