Get it if…
- You make ice cream for three or more.
- You'd also make slushies or frozen drinks.
- You want the most CREAMi for the money.
Skip it if…
- It's just for you — the original is enough.
- You want soft-serve cones — get the Scoop & Swirl.
Things to know before you buy
- Each base still needs a full 24-hour freeze.
- Loud while it spins.
- Deluxe tubs don't fit the original CREAMi or the Scoop & Swirl, and theirs don't fit it.
Reviewers recommend the Deluxe for most buyers: tubs about 50% bigger than the original's and more programmes, without the Scoop & Swirl's size and price. Like every CREAMi, it needs the base frozen for a day.
