Whether you've been hit by a heatwave or want some succulent summer sun fun, an ice cream maker is an excellent addition to your kitchen; and none compare to the Ninja Creami. Best of all, it's on sale right now for Prime Day, but I've actually found a better deal on the Ninja Creami, now $169 (was $199) at Walmart.

That beats Amazon's current Creami deal for $199. This is far from the best price we've ever seen for the model; while its list price was $229 at launch, and it sold at that price for the majority of its first two years on the market, nowadays it's most frequently priced at $199, so this isn't really a deal at all. The deal to really avoid, however, is this Ninja Creami Deluxe, now $249 (was $279) – except the retail price is actually $249 and it was only listed higher for less than a day back in 2023.

The Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker in the US is the more basic model. It has five preset programs including classic functions for ice cream, milkshakes, sorbets, and gelato. In all cases, it’s easy to use as you simply need to fill it up and leave the maker to do the hard work. It's not the best price we've seen (which was $149) but a solid discount on a popular product that we gave four stars in our review, nonetheless.

Ice cream makers have regained popularity in recent years, but it's not just for the novelty of at-home soft serve. Certainly, in the case of the Ninja Creami, it's so users can have a bit more control over what goes into their sweet treats, whether that's down to dietary preferences or restrictions.

Each of these options gets you freshly made ice cream in less than an hour too, and if that's not the best way to beat the heat this summer, I don't know what is.
