Is the Ninja Creami still worth it or just a trend?

Yes — the Ninja Creami is still worth it if you’ll actually use it regularly, but it’s not a must-buy for everyone. For most buyers, a new Ninja Creami typically lands around $150–$230, while used units are often about $80–$160 depending on the model and included pints/accessories. If you only want an occasional dessert gadget, it can feel overpriced once the novelty wears off.

It’s best for people who want high-protein ice cream, lower-sugar desserts, sorbet, smoothie bowls, or dairy-free frozen treats at home. If you want instant, traditional ice cream without planning ahead, it’s less convenient because you have to freeze a solid pint first and then process it.

Worth it if: you’ll use it at least weekly, like experimenting with recipes, and have freezer space for pints.

Probably not worth it if: you want a simple one-step ice cream maker, rarely make frozen desserts, or tend to buy ice cream instead.

Prices change a lot, so check sold/completed listings before buying.
