Ninja sells three CREAMi models we track: the NC351, NC601 and NC701. On Oct 30, 2026 they were $229.99, $249.99 and $279.99 at SharkNinja, so the step from the cheapest to the most expensive is $50.00. If price is what decides it, the NC351 is the budget pick. Before paying more for the NC601 or NC701, check on the product page what the extra money adds, using the questions below.
How we pick: we read price and availability on SharkNinja's own page and list the date we checked. We have not tested these machines ourselves. These prices are from Oct 30, 2026 and must be re-checked; confirm at checkout.

Questions to answer before you choose
- How many people will eat it? Compare the pint size and how many pints come in the box on each model's page.
- What will you make? If it's only ice cream and sorbet, the extra programs on pricier models may not matter. If you want drinks or mix-ins, check which model lists them.
- Where will it live? Check the footprint against your counter or cabinet.
- What do extra pints cost? Spare containers are an ongoing cost; check they fit the model you pick.
