Yes, but it comes with three pints so you should always have a couple in rotation

For those that don't know how this machine works, it is essentially a blender so you freeze the ice cream mix solid in the freezer (rather than letting it firm up) and then the blender goes in an pulverizes the ice and the heat of friction will melt it.


Pros and cons of this.

Pro
Fantastic for a variety of ice creams. This is super popular with making low sugar or protein ice creams. Tons of recipes online that essentially has you pour in a protein shake into the cup and freeze that and it comes out great. Low or non sucrose sugars (like stevia or monkfruit) have no issues either. Once again since you're just blending a big block of ice it handles it fine.

Normal ice cream makers can have a lot of trouble dealing with not enough fat or sugar.

It's also pretty easy to clean and deal with, as it's essentially just a powerful blender.

Cons

Sometimes the ice cream comes out like shaved ice, as in not moist enough so it doesn't have a good texture. What I like to do to get around this is to blend it once, take it out and pour in a little liquid (like cream or milk or something) in the gaps left in the puffed ice, then reblend it.

It's also EXTREMELY LOUD just fair warning.

Overall I say this is a solid machine, and you'll be surprised how good protein ice cream actually is. Could be a good way of indulging in low calorie high protein ice cream. But at the end of the day it's a machine for a specific purpose so no need to buy if you weren't interested in making your own ice cream.

Also - making ice cream (normal ice cream with cream milk sugar) can actually be MORE expensive than just buying it. Heavy cream is expensive, coconut milk is a solid alternative that I used a lot in my recipes and it keeps longer if you don't make ice cream for several months.

Whew. Unless you live out in the boondocks somewhere, it is easier and cheaper to just go to the store and stock up on quality ice cream. There doesn't seem to be any shortage of competitors in the ice cream freezer aisle of most supermarkets.
True, there is something to be said of just making your own ice cream that is Cream, milk, sugar and not a store brand that is like HFCS, Corn syrup, fractionated corn syrup, red #40, natural flavor, sugar, palm sugar, yellow #6, milk, cream powder and it's "frozen dessert".

Here is Costco's "super premium" ice cream ingredients

Cream, skim milk, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, carob bean and guar gum.

The gum thickeners at the end are new, it used to not have that. Ice cream in general, including ultra high premium ones, seem to try to slip in cheaper stuff all the time. So to each their own but I honestly like making it myself.

You can check your local store's inventory and price with the app.

At the bottom there is a little icon that says warehouse. Make sure your local store is the one showing at the top, then search for ninja in the "Search Warehouse Inventory" search bar.

HÄAGEN-DAZS Vanilla ice cream. Not just anyone can use just five simple ingredients -- cream, skim milk, sugar, Madagascar vanilla extract, and egg yolk.

The only super premium ice cream, IMHO.

It is so hard to even find ice creams that use real sugar these days, let alone all the other unnecessary ingredients they stuff in there.

My app shows local inventory but only the online price. It very specifically says that the warehouse price may vary but does not show what my local club sells it for

I mean that Costco ice cream used to not have anything extra, and now it does. There wasn't new packaging or notice it just does now. Things change and it sucks

Same price at Walmart - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ninja-.../249900363

Yes, includes less pint containers but free shipping + using Cap One Shopping gets you cash back.

Summary - Walmart & Costco deals are on par with
