This product was definitely an impulsive purchase but one that I have been rather fond of! A few pros are: • No need to preheat the oven for meals • Can match cook to use both baskets • Can “smart finish” 2 items cooking at once so they finish at the same time • Evenly cooks all items • Large capacity is great for a crowd Some cons are: • Vents at the top make items on the counter greasy • There is no volume adjust so the buttons/selections are loud • The insert trays are easy to clean but the baskets are more difficult Overall the product is very useful if you want to make dinner without heating your whole house with an oven. The functionality and the look are both very smart and other than the grease issue it is a fantastic product.

I bought this because I really love custard and was hoping to get that creamy consistency from the Ninja Creami. I am happy to report you do get a very nice creamy ice cream. I have only used it to make healthier versions of ice cream like protein ice cream. I have noticed you will have to spin it a couple times to get it that creamy consistency but it does get there. It is rather big for an appliance but I have tall cabinets so I can store it easily. It is on the heavier side too. The containers are easy to use and clean. The appliance itself is easy to use as well. My only complaint is that it is quite loud.

I got this today and tested it out a bit. It's a bit strange because when frothing the liquid will jet up a bit so you have to do it slow and be careful. The foam created is OK, but I recommend getting yourself TWO of those metal mesh because that will make the foam thicker where it also reduces the aforementioned "jet up" issue. I think the liquid gets pulled up due to the design of the press. I included a bird eye view pic of the Ninja on left and Bodum press on right. The Bodum I have I broke one so ended up with a spare mesh to double up and it is much more effective. Ninja's has more parts and that design causes some fluids to shoot up when frothing so you have to do it slowly. It could just be me so take that with a grain of salt. Luckily, the Ninja and Bodum dimensions are nearly identical so I was able to swap the bottom piece of Bodum press and us it on the Ninja no problem. The Ninja's is slimmer profile wise only because it lacks the handle part though the handle adds tiny bit more stability to the press. Ninja's glass bottom has that silicone base only. Bodum's press has simpler design where after frothing you can air pump it inside the glass not in contact with milk, and then suck any milk that drips when you pull it out. I know that sounds kind of dirty but it's actually a easier cleaning than the Ninja's because of the extra parts. Ninja's is a bit too bulky to suck on so when you pull it out make sure your careful that milk doesn't drip everywhere. Both are easily taken apart for cleaning. Ninja's is a bit taller than Bodum but both same dimensions. The cap part of Bodum is not removable for my particular unit but Ninja's can be removed and swapped with something else if there's any need of doing that. I'm now swapped the base of the Bodum press on to the longer stem of the Ninja and using Ninja's taller glass jar. Double mesh highly recommended for thicker foam and you can pump harder/fewer times to achieve a nice froth and won't even have to follow the fill-line on the Ninja's IMO.
