If you’ve been craving homemade ice cream but didn’t want to splurge on a full-price machine, this deal makes it easier to dive in. The Ninja Creami Deluxe is one of the most versatile frozen treat makers out there — and right now, the refurbished model is going for way less than usual.
You’ve seen it. You’ve wanted it. Now you can grab the Ninja Creami Deluxe for just $100, which is half off its original $200 price — but heads up, this version is refurbished. That’s cheaper than previous sales we’ve seen on new models and it’s a solid way to test out the Deluxe version without paying full price. With 11 different settings, you can whip up frozen creations with just the click of a button, from ice cream to sorbet to milkshakes to smoothie bowls. It’s a limited-time deal, so don’t wait too long.
I’m not ashamed to brag — I discovered the beauty of this ice cream innovation two years 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.
The 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 it incorporates them evenly throughout.

This Deluxe model adds five new functions — including Frozen Drinks, Creamiccino and Slushi — and comes with two XL pint containers that hold 50% more than the original. You can even split one frozen base into two flavors, top and bottom and save half for later.
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.
Why this deal matters
This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Ninja Creami Deluxe — even if it’s refurbished. If you’ve been waiting to try the viral frozen treat maker, this is a solid way to get in for less. The Deluxe model rarely drops this low and it’s packed with more features than the original.
