For ice cream enthusiasts and home dessert chefs, achieving that perfect, creamy texture without an expensive commercial machine has always been a challenge – until now. The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 10-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Drink Maker revolutionizes homemade frozen desserts, putting gourmet-quality gelato, silky sorbet, and barista-level frozen drinks within effortless reach.

In this review we check out whether Ninja’s upgraded deluxe model lives up to the hype, testing its ability to transform simple ingredients into extraordinary frozen creations. We’ll put its 10 specialized programs through rigorous testing, evaluate the much-touted texture improvements from its dual-layer paddle, and determine if the convenience justifies the investment for both casual users and serious dessert aficionados.

Design and Build Quality
The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe features a modern, space-saving design with a sturdy plastic construction that feels durable without being overly heavy. The transparent lid allows users to watch the churning process, while the ergonomic handle makes it easy to lift the pint container after processing. The base remains stable even at high speeds, and all removable parts—including the dual-layer paddle and pint containers—are dishwasher-safe for hassle-free cleaning.

Compared to the original Ninja CREAMi, the Deluxe version brings several key improvements: a larger 680-gms capacity (up from 454-gms), two included pint containers instead of one, a dual-layer Creamerizer paddle for smoother textures, and an expanded selection of 10 programs (versus the original’s seven). It also operates more quietly, making it less disruptive in a home kitchen.

What’s Inside the Box?
Inside the box, you’ll find two 680-gms CREAMi Deluxe pint containers, a dual-layer Creamerizer paddle, a lid with a handle, and a recipe inspiration guide to help beginners get started. The inclusion of two pint containers is a major plus, allowing you to prepare multiple flavours simultaneously or store a backup batch in the freezer.

Controls and Customisation
The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is controlled via a simple dial and function pad. The dial offers 10 preset programs: Ice Cream, Gelato, Sorbet, Milkshake, Lite Ice Cream, Frozen Drink, Frappe, Frozen Yogurt, Slushie, and Mix-In. The function pad includes a Re-spin option for achieving ultra-creamy textures and a Mix-In mode for blending toppings such as cookies, fruit, or candy.

What Can You Make?
This machine excels at creating a wide variety of frozen desserts and drinks. It produces rich, creamy ice cream and gelato, refreshing sorbet, and even healthier options such as lite ice cream and frozen yogurt. For drinks, it can blend thick milkshakes, frappe, and even mocktails. The ability to customise sweetness, texture, and mix-ins makes it far more versatile than most competitors.

Ease of Use
Using the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is straightforward:

1. Prepare your base (dairy, non-dairy, or fruit-based) and freeze it for 24 hours.
2. Insert the pint into the machine, attach the paddle, and select your desired program.
3. In just 2-5 minutes, your dessert is ready.

The Re-spin function ensures a perfectly smooth texture, while the Mix-In feature lets you add chunks of cookies, nuts, or fruit after processing.

Taste and Texture Performance
The results are impressively smooth, with no icy crystallisation—even with low-fat or dairy-free bases. Gelato comes out rich and velvety, sorbet is refreshingly light, and milkshakes are thick and indulgent. The machine handles alternative ingredients (such as coconut milk or almond milk) well, making it great for dietary restrictions.

Noise and Speed
While not silent, the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is noticeably quieter than a blender. Processing takes just a few minutes, making it quick enough for spontaneous dessert cravings, though the 24-hour freezing requirement means planning ahead.

Value for Money
Priced at AED 999, the Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is an investment, but its 10-in-1 versatility, superior texture, and restaurant-quality results justify the cost for serious dessert lovers. The two included pint containers and durable build add to its long-term value.

Verdict
The Ninja CREAMi Deluxe is one of the best countertop ice cream makers available, delivering professional-quality results with minimal effort. Its versatility, ease of use, and superior texture make it a worthy upgrade over the original—especially for households that love homemade frozen treats.

If you’re willing to plan ahead (freezing the base overnight), this machine will reward you with creamier, richer, and more customisable desserts than store-bought options. For serious ice cream enthusiasts, it’s a fantastic investment.

Pros
✔ 10 preset programs for endless dessert and drink options
✔ Larger capacity (great for families)
✔ Dual-layer paddle ensures ultra-smooth textures
✔ Dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleanup
✔ Quieter than most ice cream makers
✔ Great for dietary preferences (vegan, keto, lactose-free)

Cons
❌ Requires 24-hour freezing
❌ Pricier than basic ice cream makers

Price: AED 999

As families across the UAE gear up for Iftar during Ramadan, the emphasis on preparing healthy and nourishing meals has never been greater. This year, award-winning Emirati Chef Faisal Alharmoodi has joined forces with Ninja to showcase how traditional flavors can be elevated with a modern, health-conscious approach.

Renowned for his restaurants Ryba, Let’s, and Oosh, Chef Faisal has seen growing demand for nutritious Iftar recipes. Together with Ninja, he’s demonstrating how appliances like the Ninja Double Stack XL Air Fryer 9.5L SL400ME can help families create delicious meals while saving kitchen space and minimizing the use of cooking oil.

Chef Faisal said, “Ramadan is a time for reflection, connection, and of course, delicious food. But it’s also a busy time for families, and finding the time to prepare elaborate meals can be challenging. That’s where Ninja comes in. It makes it incredibly simple to create healthy and flavorful Iftar dishes like this Chicken Machbous, without spending hours in the kitchen. As it has the capacity to cook four foods at once, it’s a game-changer for busy families who want to enjoy traditional flavors and share a nourishing meal with their loved ones during Ramadan.”

A year ago, Dyson unveiled a revolutionary new professional hair dryer enabled by new power-dense technologies. It has a new technology streamlined heater, the Dyson Hyperdymium motor, and intelligent Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors in attachments which communicate with the hair dryer, automatically adjusting the motor and heater to deliver optimal airflow and temperature. The Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer is Dyson’s most powerful, yet lightest and most precise hair dryer to date. 30% smaller, 20% lighter, and more manoeuvrable than the original Supersonic hair dryer, it delivers fast drying, smoother and shinier6 results.

Developed and tested with professionals, the machine has only been available for stylists to purchase so far, being unveiled at Fashion Week in the A/W24 season. It has since become an essential in the kits of talent such as Sam McKnight, Eugene Souleiman and Lacy Redway, who choose the Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer for its enhanced manoeuvrability, comfort and precision. Following participation in design reviews with Dyson engineers over five years, Matthew Collins, Global Styling Ambassador at Dyson, says “this is the best blowdryer I have ever used”. Elsewhere, Stylist Anthony Turner, backstage at the Issey Miyake A/W24 show, describes the machine as “a magic wand”, and stylist Gary Gill says, “at first glance it is visually astonishing, even strange. But I like it. I felt like it could never work, but it’s the complete opposite.”

Today, Dyson announces that the Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer will be available for general sale, making salon-finishes open to all. The announcement comes following demand from users hungry to achieve high-quality results at home between appointments. The machine will be available in two new colours – Ceramic Pink, inspired by the orient of a pearl, and Jasper Plum, inspired by the rare purple jasper gemstone (exclusive to dyson.ae or dyson.sa).

Founder and Chief Engineer, Sir James Dyson, along with Beauty President, Kathleen Pierce, Dyson’s Global Styling Ambassadors, and the engineers who developed the machine, are in Paris for the announcement during A/W25 fashion week. It’s a city that the company and its Founder are fond of, with the first Dyson Demo Store opening in 2000 on Rue de la Boetie in Paris. It offered a fundamentally different way to show technology.

This week, Dyson’s flagship Opera store on Rue Auber will embrace the innovative spirit and excitement of Fashion Week. An intimate launch event gives beauty enthusiasts the opportunity to try the Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer in the Dyson Beauty Lab, before it is available to purchase across Europe from April, whilst it will be available for sale in the US and Mexico from 6 March, with other locations to follow in the coming weeks.

Dyson has a long history of innovative collaborations in fashion. As far back as 2007, Dyson collaborated with designer Issey Miyake on a runway collection, “The Wind”. Upon entering the beauty space in 2016, they worked with stylists and models in the backstage environment to improve styling experiences and hair health. In 2024, Dyson introduced their newest solution backstage at iconic Fashion Week shows such as Chloe, Stella McCartney, and Issey Miyake. Reflecting on the long-standing friendships behind Dyson’s partnership with these shows, especially Issey Miyake, James Dyson shared in an exclusive backstage interview, “It’s an emotional time because he’s no longer with us. But it’s lovely to be back and to see the Dysons they are using at a fashion show.”

For the A/W25 season, Dyson will be partnering the Chloe show on 6 March, styling models backstage for the runway with lead session stylist, Gary Gill. Gill used Dyson’s professional range in ‘24 at the first show imagined by new Creative Director, Chemena Kamali. It was a collection that paid homage to the late 1970s, a decade when the natural beauty of women was celebrated but also their courage and strength. Gill created a look that was as effortless as it was natural, altering between loose, subtly curled hair and relaxed low buns. The A/W25 looks will be released on 6 March after the show, and the stage is set for another inspiring moment in fashion and beauty.

Alongside the launch of the Dyson Supersonic r hair dryer, Dyson is introducing a Styling Menu at select Dyson Demo flagship stores worldwide7 where beauty shoppers can explore this year’s trending styles on different hair types and learn how to achieve their favourite look with the guidance of a Dyson styling expert. The Styling Menu kicks off with five signature looks “Styled with r”, curated from trend predictions by Dyson’s more than 50 Global Styling Ambassadors that have used the tool to create some iconic runway and red carpet looks in the past year.

The five trending styles for the launch are: textured wave bob; S-shaped curls; sleek straight; halo curls; and soft twist outs. About the launch of the Styling Menu, Dyson’s Head of Global Education, Amy Johnson says, “It will be updated every season with looks created using different machines, ensuring fresh and iconic styles are at the forefront of our education programme for customers in store and online. Appointments with stylists are bookable at the Dyson website, taking skills from the backstage to the front row, to you, at home.”

Dyson’s Styling Menu features trend predictions for all hair types. Johnson continues, “Dyson engineers are passionate about researching and designing products with cutting edge technology for diverse hair types. Our stylists in Dyson stores, as well as our Professional Styling Ambassadors around the world, are excited to help you learn the skills to look and feel at the top of your game.”
