Now in its final hours, Amazon Prime Day continues to bring some of the best discounts we'll see until Black Friday. Whether you want a fun way to cool down in summer or you're a year-round ice cream lover, one of the internet's favorite kitchen appliances, the Ninja Creami, is a rare $40 off, bringing the price down to just $160. With seven different settings, you can have your pick of frozen creations with just the click of a button, from ice cream to sorbet to milkshakes and smoothie bowls.
I'm not ashamed to brag -- I discovered the beauty of this ice cream innovation a year ago when I reviewed the Creami for CNET. I love how versatile it is. It allows you to make ice cream and gelato custards along with fruit sorbet mixtures and freeze them the night before. From there, the Creami easily turns out different ice cream flavors in about 2 minutes. Most at-home ice cream makers only make one batch every 8 hours since the center chilling bowl has to be frozen completely between uses.
Just some of the decadent ice cream CNET made in the Ninja Creami.
Karen Schiff Freeman/CNETThe Creami is also great for special diets since you can add less sugar, no sugar or alternative sweeteners to ice cream mixtures if you choose. There's also no end to the flavor combinations and recipes to try. If that's not enough, the Creami allows you to add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts and incorporates them evenly throughout.
If I have one complaint about the machine, it's that it's loud when churning. The good news is that it only takes 2 or 3 minutes to spin the base into a fresh, frozen summer delight.
The Ninja Creami is as popular as small appliances get, so its price doesn't drop often. If you're looking to haul in the easy ice cream maker, grab it now for $40 off before the October Prime Day deals are done. And don't miss our Prime Day coverage of all things bright and beautiful, including the best Prime Day deals under $25.
