I love this machine! I'm so happy with my Creami. I used to use a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker and the Ninja works so much better. I like having the options to make sorbet, milkshakes, add mix in's, make Gelato or use the ice cream setting to get the texture I prefer. It has a setting to suit everyone. The possibilities are endless and it's perfect for people with food restrictions to make it exactly to their liking using their favorite ingredients. The Ninja Kitchen website publishes great recipes tested in the Ninja kitchens as well as user submitted recipes. It's a valuable resource to get the most of the machine. The only downside is the weight I gained by eating all my wonderful creations.
