How is this different from earlier Creami models?

It adds a side soft-serve dispenser with three speeds and a Swirl Press, plus dedicated Soft Serve programs. Earlier models focused on scooping from the tub.

Do I need to freeze the tub in advance?

Yes. You prepare a base in the 480 ml tub, freeze it solid, then process it with the Creamerizer paddle. The machine does not freeze the mixture itself.

How much does one tub make?

Each 480 ml tub makes about four small cones, depending on serving size.

What comes in the box?

The Stone Gold motor base, two 480 ml CREAMi Swirl tubs with nozzles and storage lids, a dispensing lid with Swirl Press, outer bowl and lid, Creamerizer paddle and a pull-out drip tray.
