Dive into the trend of this summer's soft serve and slushie makers, with substantial discounts available on the top-rated models I've tested.
In the world of kitchen appliances, Amazon Prime Day is turning heads with a range of exciting deals on frozen treat makers that aim to bring the flavours of an ice cream van straight into homes.
The Ninja Creami series, currently the talk of the town, offers versatility and convenience at attractive discounts for Prime members. With one-touch programs for ice cream, smoothie bowls, and more, the Ninja Creami and its related models, such as the Ninja Swirl, are making waves for their soft serve capabilities and multi-use functions.
For those focused on soft serve, the Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker is a great alternative. Priced under $200, this machine delivers soft serve in under 30 minutes and features built-in topping dispensers. Another Cuisinart model, the ICE-21 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker, is highly rated for its effectiveness and ease of use at a fraction of the price of others.
Budget-conscious consumers will appreciate the Hamilton Beach Automatic Ice Cream Machine, currently discounted by about 40%. For those seeking a high-end, smart automatic churning experience, Breville's Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker is a premium option worth considering.
