If you’re ready to buy the world's most popular ice cream maker and want a Black Friday deal, you’ve probably noticed that retailers take confusing approaches to the Ninja Creami pricing. Ninja, Walmart, Amazon, QVC, and others don’t follow the same strategy, and with five iterations of the Ninja Creami on the market, it can be tricky to figure out which model offers the best features or value for money.
As a kitchen appliances and shopping editor (and Creami fan), I’ve been tracking Ninja Creami prices for months. Our team of product testers has trialled every version in our quest to find the best ice cream makers, so that I can separate the bargains that are genuinely worth your money, from the ones that just look good on the surface.
As of today, Ninja Creami Black Friday deals have dropped in some of the stores I’ve been watching. I’ll be updating this page daily during the Black Friday sales this week, so you can get the best bang for your buck.
Best Ninja Creami Black Friday Deals
Which Ninja Creami Model Should You buy?
The answer depends on the kind of recipes you want to make, how much design matters to you, and how much you want to spend. Our team has tested them all and I personally own the Ninja Creami Deluxe (I tested it on Em the Nutritionist's healthy ice cream recipes), but that might not be the right fit for you.
Ninja Creami 7-in-1 vs Ninja Creami 11-in1
The original Ninja Creami 7-in-1 is ideal for ice cream lovers. It offers seven features, including ice cream, lite ice cream, milkshakes, mix-in, sorbet, gelato, and smoothie bowl. It's not fancy-looking, but it's reliable and excellent at what it does.
The Ninja Creami Deluxe builds on the original with five additional programs: frozen yogurt, Creamiccino, frozen drink, slushi, and Italian ice (and it does away with the smoothie bowl feature).
If you enjoy a frozen drink, the Deluxe has you covered across the board. It also boasts a 24 oz container, which is 50% bigger than the original 16-ounce. It can also process half a container at a time if you want a half-and-half ice cream or don't think you'll use a whole tub. Ninja also offers a range of fun colorways on this SKU.
If you like the sound of the extra features and more modern design, the Deluxe is worth the spend.
Ninja Creami vs Ninja Swirl
If you love soft-serve, you'll need the Ninja Swirl by Creami. Our tester, Kate, loved the super light, creamy, and picture-perfect results. We think it's great for families with young kids, or those who are frequent entertainers looking for show-stopping desserts.
However, if you're not fussy about your ice cream aesthetics and can forgo the cone, the original or the Ninja Creami Deluxe will save you money.
How Can You Tell You've Found a Good Deal?
Compare the deal price to the RRP: For example, the Creami Deluxe (11‑in‑1) shouldn’t normally surpass its recommended retail price, which is around $250. If you see it listed for more, that’s not a deal; it’s just inflated pricing.
Check historical pricing: I use sites like CamelCamelCamel or Honey to see the price history on Amazon and other retailers. This helps you know if the current discount is real or just a temporary mark-up shuffle.
Look at bundle deals carefully: Many retailers, like QVC, for example, bundle the machine with accessories, so be sure you’re comparing the total value. Sometimes a deal with a higher price actually offers more in extras, which can be worth it if you’ll use them. Ninja is even offering a Creami Deluxe bundle with a waffle maker, which could be worth it if that's your favorite sweet treat.
Consider your needs vs features: Don’t pay for extra programs or the largest tubs if you only want simple, single-serving scoops. The best deal is the one that gives you the features you actually need for the lowest price.
I’ll be updating this page daily during the early Black Friday sales (which have now arrived at Amazon and Walmart). Of course, I'll be watching the prices like a hawk during Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday, just in case there are flash deals or further drops.
