Thank you for posting this. My kids have been asking for one of these for quite some time and I had a hard time pulling the trigger at the original price. I initially thought this was for the original creami, but this is for the Deluxe, which is even better.
⚠️ Why you should avoid refurbished Ninja Creamis
I highly recommend passing on these refurbished units. I bought one that quickly broke, and after diving into how these machines actually work, it makes total sense why so many of them are returned damaged.
The Mechanical Flaw:
The Creami operates basically like a drill press, and the blade is held onto the end of the shaft by a magnet. When people freeze their bases, the ice crystals expand and naturally form a hard mound in the center of the pint. The instructions explicitly tell you to make sure the frozen contents are perfectly flat before running it, but most people ignore this.
The Damage:
When the "drill press" comes down and the blade hits that frozen mound unevenly, it starts to violently wobble. This causes severe friction and heat, which permanently demagnetizes the magnet on the tip of the shaft. Worse, it can bend the main shaft or strip the threads where it attaches to the blade, which leaves metal shavings in your ice cream and stops the blade from spinning entirely.
The "Refurbished" Trap:
People return these machines after completely ruining them through user error. They get boxed right back up and sold as "refurbished," but they already have permanently dead magnets, bent shafts, and stripped threads.
If you already bought one:
Use some hand sanitizer to remove the sharpie marks on the serial number and QR code on the sticker on the back because Ninja customer support will have you take a picture of that sticker in a video call before they will send you a new replacement base.
Been using the refurbished version I bought more than a year ago. Have done more than 100 pin ice cream and still works like new. Mine from the start has a bug which I read online it affect some devices. It wont turn on until you disconnect the powercord from the outlet and reconnect. I just have it connect to a powerstrip with a switch to on/off.
I bought this exact deal last year. Lasted 93days (3 days beyond guarantee). Blade broke off. So I'm only gonna buy replacement from Costco when it goes on sale.
