Is the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe worth buying in Australia?

It is worth it if you will use the bigger tubs and the newer programs, and probably not if a 470ml tub now and then is enough. Here is the case in numbers, all from Ninja Australia at the time of writing:

• Price: $449.99 for the Deluxe against a regular $349.99 for the original CREAMi, a $100 gap.
• Capacity: 700ml tubs against 470ml, so each Deluxe tub holds about 49% more.
• Programs: 11 against 7. The Deluxe adds Frozen Yoghurt, Creamiccino, Frozen Drink, Slushi and Italian Ice; the original has a Smoothie Bowl setting the Deluxe does not list.
• Power: both are 800W.
• Size: the Deluxe is 42.3cm tall and 6.5kg, against 40.5cm and 5.9kg.

Who it suits: families who want bigger batches from one tub, people who will use the drink programs (Slushi, frozen drinks, Creamiccino), and anyone who already knows they like the CREAMi way of making ice cream.

Who should skip it: singles or couples making the odd tub, and anyone short on freezer space, because every tub needs to freeze for a full day before you can use it.

Ninja CREAMi: Deluxe vs original

The CREAMi does not churn like a traditional ice cream maker. You freeze a base solid in a tub, then the machine shaves and blends it in minutes. That changes how you plan:

Feature	CREAMi (original)	CREAMi Deluxe (NC501)
Ninja Australia price, at the time of writing	Regular price $349.99	$449.99
Tub size	470ml	700ml
Tubs in the box	3	2
Settings	7: Ice Cream, Sorbet, Milk Shake, Lite Ice Cream, Mix-In, Gelato, Smoothie Bowl	11: Ice Cream, Lite Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato, Frozen Yoghurt, Creamiccino, Frozen Drink, Slushi, Milkshake, Italian Ice, Mix-In
Wattage	800W	800W
Weight	5.9kg	6.5kg
Size (D x W x H)	30.5 x 17 x 40.5cm	30.5 x 21.3 x 42.3cm
Cord	0.8m	0.9m

What the freezing step means in practice, according to Ninja Australia:

• Freeze for at least 24 hours before processing.
• The machine is designed for bases between minus 12 and minus 21 degrees Celsius. If your freezer runs colder, you may need the RE-SPIN program more often.
• Programs take about 1 to 6 minutes.

So the real question is freezer room. Each 700ml tub needs more freezer room than a 470ml tub, and spare tubs for back-to-back batches need more room again. Ninja Australia also sells a Swirl by CREAMi model for soft serve, which is a separate machine.

How ShopBack lowers what you pay for a Ninja CREAMi

ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

How to use it on an appliance order:

1. Sign up free at ShopBack Australia or in the app.
2. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out on the store's site as normal.
3. Once the order is confirmed, the cash shows in your ShopBack account, and you can withdraw it.

Illustrative maths. On a $450 CREAMi order at an illustrative 2%, $9 comes back, so the effective price is $441. The rate is only an example: check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page, and read the terms there, because some categories, codes or gift cards may not be eligible. Our electronics savings guide covers the same steps for other appliances.

How to apply this

3. Mark the sale windows: 27 November and 26 December 2026.
4. Compare the final total at Ninja Australia, The Good Guys and Amazon Australia, using the ANZ model code.
5. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.
