NutriBullet Chill

Ranked #9 in Ice Cream Makers

90 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

The other new processing-style standout alongside the FastFreeze: promising, well-liked, and unproven over years, which is fatal to a higher position under a lens that weighs long-term ownership. Ranked here purely because years of ownership data do not exist yet.

Flagged as a product to avoid

2 of 15 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

It is the Creami clone the marketing pushes hardest, but every outlet that tested this concept tested the Ninja CREAMi and recommended the Ninja, and none elevated the Chill over it; the processing-knife concept is only as good as its execution, and the execution to buy is the NC301.

The cheaper Creami alternative that no current expert roundup places, while the same testing crowns the Creami line - Food & Wine's best overall, Bon Appetit's hype-justified pick and the Guardian's cult favourite are all Creamis.

The NutriBullet Chill is also a great option, and even without the extra mix-in and milkshake programs, you’ll still be able to make delicious frozen treats. It’s also a good choice for those who want a sleeker appliance they can leave on their countertops and store more easily when not in use. Plus, it won’t require buying a lot of replacement pieces if it breaks (hopefully, that doesn’t happen). For now, I plan to keep using the original Ninja Creami, but if you’re curious about the NutriBullet, you can still expect delicious results.

Overall, I've been genuinely impressed with the nutribullet Chill Ice Cream Maker . It's simple to use, makes delicious homemade ice cream with a wonderfully creamy texture, and gives you complete control over the ingredients. Whether you're making indulgent desserts, lighter frozen yoghurt, or refreshing fruit sorbets, it's a brilliant addition to the kitchen. For families, or anyone who loves homemade desserts, I think it's well worth the investment.

Nutribullet’s new Chill ice cream maker could finally break my resolve with its smaller footprint. While the Creami’s base measures 17.44 by 8.58 inches, the Chill’s is just 9.6 by 5.74 inches, making it easier to squeeze onto a kitchen counter and later store once my family tires of DIY frozen treats.

After freezing the base, I processed it in my NutriBullet Chill Ice Cream Maker and was really happy with the final texture. It came out smooth, creamy, and scoopable with a fresh green tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.

The machine is intuitive to use — no guesswork required. The size is countertop-friendly, about the size of a small blender. I had no problem finding space for it in my apartment.

The NutriBullet Chill Ice Cream Maker is perfect for those who want a simple, no-fuss way to create delicious frozen yogurt at home. This compact machine allows you to whip up your favorite flavors without the need for extensive preparation or complicated processes. It's built-in bowl chills quickly, letting you enjoy your treats in just 30 minutes. Ideal for individuals or couples, its lightweight design makes it easy to store when not in use. However, this model is best for smaller batches. So, if you're entertaining a crowd, you might find it a bit limiting.

It also successfully transformed frozen puréed pineapple into sorbet, but therein lies my main issue with the Chill (and the reason it lost out on the top spot): per the manual, you need to pre-blend ingredients like fruit before freezing. The Chill also lacks a mix-in button, so you'd have to stir in any additional ingredients by hand. That said, it worked well and would be a solid pick for anyone looking for a slightly smaller machine, or someone who's drawn to the pastel colorways.

And when I saw the NutriBullet Chill, which was a fraction of that size, and if you look at them side by side, the difference in size is ridiculous. I thought, well, let's give that a try, but to be very honest, I thought I was getting almost exactly the same machine in the sense that they both operate by the same principle, the same concept. And yes, the Ninja does have a couple of extra options, be it more presets than the NutriBullet.
