First, it's loud enough to wake the dead. So don't get one of these if you live next to a cemetary.
Second, it's absolutely imperative that the top of your ice cream mixture is completely level before you begin. If you stick your mix in the freezer, it will freeze with a hump in it. No bueno. Some people freeze for the first hour with the lid off to prevent this. I prefer to let the mix thaw for 15 minutes (ignore the part in the manual that says to process immediately after taking it out of the freezer) and then level the top with the back of a spoon. If you fail to level, the blade might pop off. There's a video of a guy on YouTube who claims that their Creami caught on fire because the blade was dancing around the spindle. Shooting sparks maybe. Catching fire I kind of doubt.
Oh, and also. Be sure to use the right setting. I find that the (longer running) lite ice cream is the right setting for me most of the time since I use whole milk instead of heavy whipping cream, so I have a higher water/ice content. And finally, respin is your friend. I usually go straight to respin (after running the lite program, of course) even without checking the consistency, because I already know it's going to need it. GL. And enjoy your new Creami.
The regular NC301 has 16 oz containers. The Delux NC501 has 24 oz containers.
The regular NC301 7 programs. The Delux NC501 has 11 programs
The regular NC301 7 makes ice cream, sorbet, gelato, milkshake, smoothie bowl, lite ice cream, and mix-in. The Delux NC501 lists the previous and additional "slush, Italian ice, frozen drink, creamiccino, frozen yogurt and more"
Costco often has the 7-in-1 for $99 with 3 pint jars.
We bought many extra and usually have 16-20 jars in the freezer on rotation for both the NC301 ("regular" 7-in-1) and NC501 (deluxe) since we use the machine(s) practically daily from March through December and at least weekly during January and February.

We also make a bunch of ice cream/frozen yogurt. 1/3 Milk, 1/3 heavy cream, 1/3 greek yogurt. Add in whatever flavors you like, reducing the milk if your add-in has liquid (like berries). Buttermilk gives a super nice cheesecake type flavor. We also use pudding sometimes as a flavor enhancer, last night was butterscotch chocolate chip.
I can't say how this compares with other ice cream makers, but if you like to tinker and experiment, this thing is a hoot. Once you figure out a base mixture you like, the skies the limit. One of our favorites is Chocolate Chile, with lots of cocoa powder, a bit of cinnamon, and just enough chile powder to give it a kick. We almost always have a frozen cup ready to be spun up at a moments notice.

I do recommend getting the deluxe version over this though... The larger cups make a huge difference...plus can always add less mix to those, but you can't add more to the small cups.

There Is a designated mix-in button that you would now press, and it basically turns your ice cream into a creamy.
I have used the rise marshmallow whey protein with fairlife fat-free milk, white chocolate sugar-free pudding mix, and then Oreos as you're mix in. It is 10 times better than a dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard
For ice cream, the great thing about the Creami is that you can personalize and customize.
Basic ice cream here is made by fruit (fresh or canned), add some heavy whipping cream (liquid) and some milk and freeze. Or, fruit + milk for those who don't need the extra calories from the cream - still creamy ice "cream" just a bit lighter.
And for the hot summer days, we often make sorbet with just canned fruit in fruit juice or crush fresh berries with some fruit juice or a smidgen of wine plus water.
Around here, the cream cheese that Ninja suggests has never been used and the results of our concoctions still come out very well.
When our figs are ripe, we'll pick them and put them straight into the creami jars with some whole milk and freeze for the most delicious fig ice cream.

It's loud, that's the only downside. Agreed. But then, we don't live in an apartment, so it's no problem to run a batch for 2 minutes or so.
As for the "bump" - never had a problem and have used our Creamis (7-in-1 and 11-in-1) for about 2 years almost daily. Many cases of "bumps" and never a problem. No issues at all...
People complain about the noise and the fact that they don't know how to make something beyond the recipe booklet (which, cream cheese does not belong in ice cream!). But, to each their own. As a family who owns about 14 different Ninja products, we do love the both our Creamis and many of the other Ninja products. Not everyone does. And it's okay to disagree. As long as we can all agree on the fact that we don't all have the same taste.
Heard talk about it, but the 7-in-1 and 11-in-1 we have both never had any issues. Not sure how widespread that problem was / is. Could be a way to discredit the product because one or two people had the issue and suddenly a bunch of folks thought they had the same issue - a good way to get a refund on a product they didn't like to start with. Not trying to start rumors, just pointing out that there seems to be something going around that many people never experience(d).
