- How is the NC701 different from a standard CREAMi?
- The NC701 adds a swirl handle for layering two flavors or folding in mix-ins, plus a display and timer. Standard CREAMi models process one pint at a time without the swirl function.
- Do I have to freeze the base overnight?
- Yes. The pint base needs roughly 24 hours in the freezer before processing, so plan a day ahead.
- What comes in the box?
- You get the motor base, the processing bowl and at least one pint container with lid. Extra pints are sold separately.
- Is $299.99 a good price?
- It is the only new price we have on record for the NC701, at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026. The Swirl sits above standard CREAMi models, so compare against those if you don't need layering.
- Can it make sorbet and gelato?
- Yes. It handles soft serve, ice cream, sorbet and gelato, and the 800 W motor copes with dense, low-sugar bases.
- How much counter space does it need?
- Plan for about 10 inches wide, 15 inches deep and 17.5 inches tall, with clearance to lift the lid.
