Ninja’s versatile Creami ice cream maker hits an all-time low for Black Friday.

For Black Friday 2025, the Ninja Creami Scoop & Swirl ice cream maker is experiencing a significant dip in price, dropping to $279.99 at key retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and SharkNinja’s online storefront. This represents a 20% discount from its usual price, marking an all-time low. The device’s versatility is a key selling point, allowing users to create both traditional hard-scoop ice cream and softer, “soft-serve” variations. According to a recent review by Jen Tuohy, the Creami also unlocks creative possibilities through recipes, including unusual concoctions such as frozen tomato soup and watermelon with condensed milk, alongside standard offerings like milkshakes and yogurt. The process takes approximately 24 hours for freezing, though the machine can transform store-bought ice cream into soft serve in seconds. Todd Haselton, a deputy editor for The Verge, highlighted this capability as a major draw, emphasizing the machine's ability to facilitate unique and flavorful frozen treats. The Black Friday price reduction positions the Ninja Creami as an accessible entry point into the world of homemade ice cream production.
