# Ninja Swirl Soft Serve/Hard Serve Ice Cream Maker Review

If I learned anything from The Brave Little Toaster, it’s that not all appliances are thrilled about their assigned tasks. Take the newly announced Ninja Swirl soft serve/hard serve ice cream maker, which looks like it’s sporting a surprised expression as it churns out your favorite ingredients into a tasty, cold treat.

## Introducing the Ninja Swirl

The $350 Ninja Swirl, by Creami, is essentially the company’s existing CREAMi ice cream maker with the added capability of making McDonald’s-style soft serve, minus the risk of the machine being broken. This device can also generate frozen yoghurt, fruit swirls, and many other types of frozen treats.

### A New Player in the Market

Up until now, there’s not much competition in the soft serve machine market. However, companies like Breville offer hard serve machines for under $500, like their BCI600XL. While Cuisinart’s Mix-It-In Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker is available for $180, there’s a significant gap between that and the Ninja Swirl’s nearest competitor, the Vevor Commercial Countertop Ice Cream Maker, which costs $1,000 MSRP.

## Soft Serve Lovers, Unite!

Home cooks don’t need anything as expensive as the Vevor for making on-demand ice cream that won’t break the bank, especially if what they’re after is a simple pint of a favorite flavor.

# The Benefits of the Ninja Swirl

According to Engadget, the Ninja Swirl is designed to be quieter and provide more accurate notifications about the remaining blend time. As a larger unit than Ninja’s original 7-in-1 ice cream maker, the added benefits for soft serve enthusiasts make the extra cost worthwhile.

## The Competition and the backstory

Without forsaking local small-town ice cream parlors, the Ninja Swirl may be an essential tool for at-home treats. Companies like iFixit and right-to-repair advocates have been pushing for easier access to repair and maintenance of broken ice cream machines. As the result of their efforts, the federal government has granted DMCA exemptions for retail-level commercial food preparation equipment. However, as it turns out, third-party distribution of tools to fix those machines is still not allowed, and there’s no guarantee that McDonald’s soft serve machines will become more reliable now. Home ice cream makers, like the Ninja Swirl, remain a great option for those looking for a convenient way to enjoy their favorite flavors at home.

## Availability

The Ninja Swirl is available online now and is expected to be on store shelves starting this spring.
