The Ninja Swirl is a great product. From the thoughtful packaging to the appealing design, it feels well made all around. We have made protein ice cream (Creamifit), traditional ice cream, and even Dole Whip with excellent results. The machine is easy to use and simple to clean afterward. It is not the quietest, but the noise level is about the same as a blender, and sometimes a little louder. Overall, this is an excellent product, especially if you can find it on sale.

I've tried somewhat similar products that claim they can make a soft-serve style ice cream just to be disappointed in the end result. This machine, however, lives up to what it says it can do. We have currently tried regular vanilla ice cream and vanilla frozen yogurt and the whole family absolutely loved it. The texture and flavor or the ice cream is spot on with soft serve quality. The machine itself doesn't require a lot of assembly. Has several different functions depending on your own preference. You can tell the machine was made with quality parts and comes with almost everything needed to start your soft serve journey. My only knock maybe for a larger family purchase a couple extra cups as the machine only comes with two, and with a larger family, youll need a little more storage. The cups do allow for a good amount of Capacity.

The Ninja Swirl has seriously leveled up dessert at our house. We’ve made soft serve, milkshakes, sorbet—you name it. The texture is smooth, the process is easy, and the cleanup isn’t bad either. I was a little skeptical at first, but it’s legit.We’ve started making our own “copycat” DQ Blizzards and frozen yogurt bowls, and it’s actually saving us money. You can load it up with toppings or keep it simple with just fruit, and it handles both like a champ.I’d highly recommend grabbing the extra containers too (we got a couple more)—it’s super convenient to prep a few different flavors and just swap them in whenever.If you’re even halfway into ice cream or frozen treats, you won’t regret buying this. It’s a hit in our house.

Excellent product. Makes incredible quality ice cream and frozen treats. Very versatile and many different recipes.Only critiques: The machine is fairly large in size compared to the pint containers you insert into it. It takes up a decent footprint on a countertop (if you want to leave it out) and is heavier than the typical small kitchen appliance (making it less ideal to store and have to get out each time to use). It is also quite noisy. Hopefully these are some factors that Ninja can optimize in future models.

I was really excited to try the Ninja Creami Swirl, and I have to say, it does what it promises: it makes genuinely good ice cream. It's been a fantastic way to turn my protein shakes into a much more enjoyable treat.The Good:The core function is great. The ice cream texture is impressive, although I found that adding a splash of milk to the top of the frozen pint before spinning helps the machine get started and results in a smoother consistency. I also appreciate the design touch of the pint clicking securely into place; it's a small but satisfying detail that lets you know it's ready.The Not-So-Good:Unfortunately, my experience came with a few frustrations. First, this machine is LOUD. It's definitely something to be aware of if you have a small living space or sensitive ears. I also frequently had to run the cycle twice to get the right texture, which adds to the noise and time.There were also some operational quirks. On several occasions, the machine just wouldn't start, forcing me to take the pint out and reseat it. I also noticed the blades would get a strange oily residue on them, and I couldn't figure out why.Sizing and Final Thoughts:My biggest disappointment was with the 'Swirl' version itself. The portion size for the ice cream feels too small to justify the feature. If I were to buy one again, I would skip the Swirl and go for either the standard model or upgrade to the Deluxe for the larger pint capacity.Ultimately, I ended up returning the unit because it arrived with a broken pint. Combined with the other small issues, I decided not to get a replacement just yet. It's a really good product in concept, but the execution has some flaws that made it not the right fit for me.

Amazing product - easy to use and easy to clean and maintain. Well developed product with multiple options. The containers are self contained when you plug them in - so the machine itself never gets messy! Just simply wash out the containers once done and you’re all set! Functions as advertised, quick clean, quick use (freezing the cream takes 24 hours but actually making the soft serve only takes a few minutes!). Beautiful design, great size - fits nice on a countertop. Taste is dependent on your ice cream developing skills - there are many recipe books out there, but it’s easy to make simple flavors. 10/10!

Great product and value for the money spent. You will be making Ice Cream everyday for everyone in the family. Its easy to use, quick to make, and holds a good amount of Ice cream. The ice cream tastes great as you can make any flavor you want. The speed in making Ice Cream is extremely fast, and I highly recommend purchasing this product today.
