Ninja Creami ice cream maker: $169 (save $30)
The Ninja Creami ice cream maker is really easy to use. First, you mix up the ingredients ahead of time and put them in your freezer overnight. Once its solid, you put your frozen mix into the Ninja Creami. Its powerful blades will turn it into a creamy frozen dessert in minutes. One-touch programming makes it easy to choose between different types of treats, such as ice creams, sorbets, milkshakes and more. A respin function lets you add even more creaminess, if desired. We like the mix-in feature that makes it easy to add bits of Oreo, nuts, chopped up candy bars and more.
Another great feature: The container, lids and paddle are all top-rack dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. After all, the faster you clean up your ice cream maker, the faster you can make ice cream again!
