Overview
Ninja uses a motor base with a paddle that shaves down a frozen pint, so you freeze your mix ahead of time and run a program. Two pint containers with lids come in the box.
It excels at personalized portions: each pint is its own recipe. The limit is the lead time, since a base needs to be uniformly frozen, and the machine is heavy for its size.
Who it's for
A household that enjoys experimenting with dairy-free or low-sugar bases and has freezer space for pints is the audience. People who want soft serve on the spot will find the freezing step annoying.
Pros and cons
- Seven one-touch programs
- Two pints included
- Handles mix-ins and shakes
- Base must be fully frozen first
- Heavy for a countertop gadget
- Small batch size
Performance notes
The paddle spins and descends into the frozen pint, shaving it into a smooth texture, so an evenly frozen block gives a smoother result. Uneven freezing or a tilted pint leaves icy or powdery spots.
