How does this compare to the other variation that pops up at Kohl's? I want to say the other one might include more pints (containers)... Maybe even 5 or something, but not sure if there are other differences

Edit: meant to say "pints", not "points"

Just an overpriced fancy blender that is poorly made with a weak motor. Not an ice cream maker.

A couple things about this:

- All the recipes they recommend involve cream cheese. I'm not sure if this is because the test kitchen editors like the taste of it, or whether it's because the motor wouldn't be powerful enough to blend a more solid dessert.

- It's loud.

- The Mix-Ins feature pulverizes your mix-ins beyond recognition. If you were hoping for a DIY McFlurry, look elsewhere.

As for the recipes, we have used the Creami for well over 2 years now, using it often for several jars a day and several days in a row, so it's been well used -- we have the same as Costco's (7 functions) but bought it at Kohl's long ago.

* It's holding up well.

* Costco offers the color coded lids. Kohl's version has gray only.

* We have never used the cream cheese, but from the start experimented with heavy whipping cream and half & half for the person who needs extra calories but does not consume much food anymore. It works with all our favorite recipes.

* If the recipe has a high level of heavy cream, we use ice cream.

* If there's more half & half than heavy cream (for those here that don't need the extra calories but like ice cream), we use ice cream light settings.

* We also use canned fruit a lot... little bit of liquid, fruit, freeze, run on sorbet. Great light treat when working outside in the Deep South in the heat.

* For smaller snacks, filling the jars halfway works well too. So, no need to re-freeze at the end of the day...

The main thing with this is, personalize to taste. Don't let the test kitchen editors dictate what needs to go in...

Here's a tip: for ice cream that tastes like a Reese's PB cup... get powdered PB, Nesquick, a bag of Carnation Breakfast Chocolate, mix with either half heavy whipping cream and half & half or straight half & half.... Get's the pickiest one here to eat a whole 16 oz jar yummyyummyyummy

(PS: we ended up buying the larger version too and it is in good use by now that the temps are in the mid-80s.)

This thing is great for being able to make keto/low carb ice creams. I am not sure if this makes "real" ice cream; for us, it always comes out like a Wendy's Frosty (think of thick soft-serve, which we love). The doubters always say it's an expensive blender; it could be, but there's something about the Creami that a blender won't do. If you buy it, consider a package "deal" like this one that includes extra containers.

If I recall correctly, I think we got ours from HSN around $100 last year with 5 containers when it was on sale and you could stack it with a new account referral discount. So maybe shop around? But this one here for $120 probably is the best deal currently.
