My Ninja Creami is in overdrive this week — but this alternative ice cream maker on sale for Prime Day might just replace it
I scream, you scream
At least for us here in the UK, this year's Amazon Prime Day sale is coinciding with one of the hottest heatwaves on record, meaning an ice cream maker goes from a nice-to-have to an essential snack distribution system.
Thankfully, in my household, my trusty Ninja Creami is here to rescue me from overheating, and it's a mainstay on my countertop even outside of extreme weather warnings.
Right now, the Ninja Creami is on sale for $169 (was $219) at Amazon US, while over in the UK it's £199 (was £249) at Amazon. Neither deal is a record low for Ninja's once-viral ice cream machine (those are $129 and £149, respectively) but nonetheless represent decent $/£50 savings.
What I'm more interested in this year, however, are some of the alternatives that are more attractively designed and cheaper, to boot.

My holy grail, the Ninja Creami is still popular for a reason, and that's not just because it works well. It comes with detailed instructions, tips and tricks, offers seven different modes and includes a dishwasher-safe 16 oz mixing cup.
On the more aesthetically pleasing end of the spectrum, Black+Decker's dupe has seen a great 40% discount for Prime Day, bringing the price down to less than the Ninja Creami. It's functionally the same as the Ninja Creami and judging by the positive Amazon customer reviews, pretty performant, too.
UK Prime Day deals — ice cream makers
Ninja's Creami ice cream maker is a household favorite ice cream maker, having pretty much revolutionised the scene when it hit the market a few years ago. This isn't the best price we've seen, but it's a sizeable £50 saving nonetheless.
If you think this model looks pretty similar to the Black+Decker model above, you'd be exactly right; both brands operate under the same parent company. That means you get the same seven auto functions, the same dishwasher-safe tubs, and the same super cute design. It's not on sale in the UK right now, but it's still cheaper than the Ninja Creami above.
