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.

I would pick a ice cream maker with built in compressor over this any day of the week.

These things are great but a pain in the butt to clean. What they don't tell you is that the top that you put on to cover the container as it's mixing always gets junk trapped inside of it. They say just rinse it out, but that is never enough. You have to get a pipe cleaner to dig around in it to get everything out. They really screwed up on the design of that.

I've never had an icecream maker but tried it one time. It was something that you need to add salt and ice in the side compartment. It turned out better messy since the salt and ice combo created a slush and it took a while to actually become hard.

How is the Ninja compared to that?
How long does it take to make a pint jar and hope does it cool? If it's too much effort then it will only be used once in my household.

My limited understanding of ice cream machines and what you're talking about is this... There are 3 kinds of ice cream machines I know of:

* The salt(?) kind you talked about

* Something like this Ninja that just seems to blend stuff together to be like a sorbet consistency, but requires you to freeze after

* Ice cream maker with compressor - these ones are the ones that can actually mix and make something a bit cold (it might not be super frozen but I think it's the best option)

If you want more of a cold instant ice cream, a compressor based model seems to be the way to go. I personally ended up getting one myself from an auction type place, and am hoping to use it this week. Have to pickup some heavy cream and other ingredients for it first though

Edit- here's a reddit discussion on the ninja, if you're curious - https://www.reddit.com/r/icecream...with_tldr/
