Ninja CREAMi NC301 Ice Cream Maker
13 lb 800W, two 16-oz pints only. 1–2.5 min process time at ~75–85 dB. First spin comes out crumbly; Re-spin is the workflow. Lid holes trap mix and smell. Paddle can drop and shred if not seated. Freeze 24h, fill to line. NC501/NC700 pints don't fit this model. Buy if pints are a weekly habit and you'll Re-spin. Skip if you wanted Deluxe/Swirl pints or the noise shares a bedroom wall.
