While I love the Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl, it stays in storage most of the time because I just don&#8217;t have the space for it. But the Nutribullet Chill ice cream maker might just be the device that earns some kitchen real estate.<\/p>\n<p>The whole device comes in three parts: the ice cream maker base, the blade block, and the blade cover. The base is smaller than a kitchen stand mixer, taking up very little square footage as it&#8217;s taller than it is wide. It&#8217;s decently hefty at 10.5 pounds, but it is fairly easy to maneuver on the kitchen counter. When not in use, I can easily tuck it away on the counter without losing too much space.<\/p>\n<div class=\"eloquent-imagery-image\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" src=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1784228541.png\" alt=\"The Nutribullet Chill base next to a stand mixer.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-2.fill.size_800x450.v1784228541.png 800w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-2.fill.size_1400x788.v1784228541.png 1400w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-2.fill.size_2000x1125.v1784228541.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n            <span class=\"normal-case text-gray-1000\">The Nutribullet Chill takes up less space on my counter than my stand mixer.<\/span><br \/>\n            <span class=\"text-gray-600 credit\">Credit: Samantha Mangino \/ Mashable<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The blade is sort of a plunger shape and screws onto the top of the pint containers.

The different settings worked well for their designated types, but I did feel a few were noticeably missing.<\/p>\n<p>I expect a respin sitting on preprogrammed devices in case it doesn&#8217;t come out the right texture. However, Nutribullet may not need it, since all the recipes turned out well. But the most egregiously missing setting was a mix-in setting, which most ice cream mixes I&#8217;ve tested recommend.<\/p>\n<p>Checking in with what the brand recommends, Nutribullet says to add in your mix-ins before freezing, which get blended and incorporated in when it processes. I took that route with the strawberry frozen yogurt, which had fresh fruit mixed in that got fully blended. If you want chunks mixed into your ice cream, then you&#8217;ll have to fold those in after.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"it-sounds-like-a-truck-and-getshot\">It sounds like a truck and gets&#8230;hot?<\/h2>\n<p>One thing that I&#8217;ve come to expect with instant ice cream makers is the machines&#8217; volume \u2014 they&#8217;re extremely loud. The Nutribullet Chill is the loudest ice cream maker I&#8217;ve tested, and while I can&#8217;t measure its specific decibels, I can say that it shocked me, sounding like a garbage truck was in my house, and making me wonder if I should be wearing <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/which-loop-earplugs-to-buy\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\">earplugs<\/a> while using it.

The blade block has a metal shaft that slides into the machine, and after use, the shaft gets very hot. The ice cream maker has multiple &#8220;shaft hot&#8221; warnings (I know, I know), but it still surprised me how warm it was, and I wondered how that heat might affect the texture of the frozen treats, especially since the vanilla ice cream turned out so melted.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-total-breeze-to-clean\">A total breeze to clean<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;m still salty about having to clean the Cuisinart FastFreeze, but cleaning the Nutribullet Chill components is a breeze. Luckily, nothing on the motor base needs cleaning, but the blade block, blade cover, and pint containers are all top-rack dishwasher safe. This was a pleasant surprise, considering most ice cream maker parts are not dishwasher-safe.<\/p>\n<p>But if you don&#8217;t have a dishwasher, don&#8217;t fear. I hand-washed all the parts and found them very easy to clean.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-the-nutribullet-chill-worth-it\">Is the Nutribullet Chill worth it?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"eloquent-imagery-image\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" src=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-8.fill.size_2000x1125.v1784228541.png\" alt=\"The Nutribullet Chill with strawberry frozen yogurt.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-8.fill.size_800x450.v1784228541.png 800w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-8.fill.size_1400x788.v1784228541.png 1400w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/reviews\/03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\/images-8.fill.size_2000x1125.v1784228541.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n            <span class=\"normal-case text-gray-1000\">The Nutribullet Chill ice cream maker is a worth competitor to the Ninja Creami.<\/span><br \/>\n            <span class=\"text-gray-600 credit\">Credit: Samantha Mangino \/ Mashable<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Nutribullet Chill ice cream maker is a worthy rival of the Ninja Creami. It whips up perfectly creamy, smooth ice cream with no icy or watery texture. Be prepared for noise, as it&#8217;s the loudest ice cream maker I&#8217;ve tested, but it&#8217;s a nice option for people in smaller spaces, too.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want the basics, making ice cream, sorbets, and frozen yogurt, then the Nutribullet Chill is a great machine and $30 cheaper than the Ninja Creami. But if you&#8217;re looking for mix-ins or a milkshake option, the Creami may be more your speed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex relative flex-col p-6 max-w-3xl mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 font-sans border border-gray-100 pogoClear md:flex-row\" data-commerce-block=\"\">\n<div class=\"md:mx-0 relative md:w-1\/2\">\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/cc.mashable.com\/v1\/otc\/03bCs1jQxEftXGkZ7A6Km1e?merchant=05kie42h3YvHwjr4G1w80Qq&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fnutribullet-Smoothie-Compact-Dishwasher-NBD50100AK%2Fdp%2FB0GRC411VN%3Fth%3D1&amp;template=review&amp;module=shop-card&amp;element=offer&amp;item=offer-image&amp;position=1&amp;element_label=image&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Freview-route-prefix%2Flife%2Fnutribullet-chill-ice-cream-maker-review&amp;product_uuid=018yyhjdw9zkhJQQ0Jk2wfb&amp;offer_uuid=007s7XDislFj3199ttegyxt&amp;object_type=review&amp;object_uuid=03SFDyMEhfT6mobwsKEjGH8\" data-commerce=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-element=\"offer\" data-ga-action=\"offer-image\" data-ga-item=\"offer-image\" data-ga-label=\"image\" data-ga-position=\"1\" data-ga-module=\"shop-card\" data-aps-asin=\"B0GRC411VN\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"mashable-editpost-20\" data-aps-asc-subtag=\"007s7XDislFj3199ttegyxt\" class=\"block overflow-hidden relative w-full border border-gray-100 aspect-square border-1\"><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-contain absolute inset-0 p-12 w-full h-full\" src=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/product\/018yyhjdw9zkhJQQ0Jk2wfb\/hero-image.fill.size_256x256.v1783502537.jpg\" alt=\"nutribullet Chill Ice Cream Maker, for Gelato, Sorbet, Frozen Yogurt, Smoothie Bowls, Compact Size, (2) Dishwasher Safe 16 oz.
