Happened to me as well. Made the exact same protein ice cream recipe that I have been making for the past 3 weeks (with no issue). I received the machine just a month ago. I was able to exchange on Amazon for a replacement and I hope this does not occur again.
Guys dont buy it. It is emnensely loud. The neigbours are able to hear this bloody thing. I innacurately asumed that it would have an element of churn mechanical chilling centric silence instead i got a very loud horsepowered blending machine. The cooling element entails the operator freezing the content or freezing the cups before use. Ive packed this thing up and put it in my car ready to be dropped off at the local Salvos here in Melbourne Australia. A very frustating experience ive effing chucked $300+ at this thing only to recieve a screaming mechanical kid......and it screams for 4 minutes. Save ya money. Just get a godamn cheap blender. Go to the store and buy pint if icecream. Stupid Thing is Overated. Im feeling pretty angry.
I literally have a new Creami still in the box, but I am wondering if I should return it. Given the number of people just on this channel that are reporting the same issue, this definitely sounds like a Recall is needed. Ninja needs to go back to the design stage and prevent this from occurring, especially if the magnetic attachment is wearing out within a few months. They definitely need better instructions and warning stickers. We all know there are people who don’t read manuals completely… or at all😉. I read the quick start guide and the instruction manual. It says to inspect the blade and make sure the surface is flat, but I don’t think this explains what can happen if the blade gets tilted or if the surface is humped. Before I purchased it, I watched several videos on RU-vid showing them using the Creami. I only saw ONE channel that told people, to let your product thaw for 10 minutes before processing or it could void your warranty. I found no evidence of this; in fact, the Creami instructions say, “For best results, freeze base for at least 24 hours and process immediately after removing from the freezer. The unit is designed to process bases that are between 9°F and -7° F. For Canadians like me, this is -12.7°C and -21.7°C. I know from experience that accidentally leaving ice cream out for 15 minutes will make it incredibly soft. It would be interesting to see what temperature a base changes after sitting out for 10-15 minutes. The instructions also say to put the lid on the base and place it flat in the freezer. If the Lid is causing these humps to occur; which in turn is making the blade go off balance, then Ninja needs to address this. I think ultimately for the best results or if you’re having problems, you need to see what temperature your freezer is set to and what your base temperature is before using the machine and making sure it’s completely flat. This puts more effort into a product that is supposed to be easy and fast. Some other tips instead of leaving your base out to thaw are to shave down the top hump to make the top flat or run a spoon under hot water to flatten the top surface. Thank you for posting this video. I’m still on the fence about the Creami, but at least I know what the problem is and what’s causing it. 🍨🥤🍦
Nice video, thanks for sharing! Are you interested in the ethics of Tesla? Tesla is a member of the Fair Cobalt Alliance. Have you heard of Fairphone? It is my belief that the future of technology is not specs, but ethics. Fairphone founded the Fair Cobalt Alliance, which is concerned with improving the lives of the people creating batteries, from mining to manufacturing. Have a good day! Namaste 🙏
On long trips, the drop is not that significant since you only heat up the cabin and battery once. What really eats up the range in the winter are repeated short trips. But I couldn't find a big issue with this either since "repeated short trips" already implies that you don't need "long range" in the first place. Every day you hold back, is a day that you weren't driving a Tesla.
I’ve had my used model 3 for 10 months 25k miles. $5 in maintenance (windshield wiper fluid) so far. Not just money I’ve saved, but time. I did not enjoy driving to the gas station, oil changes, diagnosing check engine lights, diagnosing sudden funky noises ect. I’ll never own an engine powered device again.
@@TechbyParker my work commute is about 40 miles. Not bad, but most of my miles are from traveling. Ever since getting a Tesla, I’m addicted to road trips, and exploring. Sticking a cable in the side of your vehicle and walking away during lunch/ bathroom breaks makes road trips so much easier, and more enjoyable to me.
I already have a car and it runs just great for the past 20 years. A Tesla will put me in a 50K hole. So no the Tesla is not cheaper, it's much more expensive. It costs me $2K to run my 20 year old car including gas, insurance, and servicing. It would take 25 years for the Tesla to break even and that's without running costs. I'm gonna run that 20 year old car for as long as I can.
That’s awesome. Before I drove my Tesla I drove a beater that worked great, then I wanted to upgrade and it was going to spend around $35,000 anyways. With the tax credit, the Tesla was the no-brainer for me. That being said it sounds like you have a great situation.
@@TechbyParker I would rather invest the money and that's exactly what I've done. Not saying I don't like Teslas because it's the number one hold in my portfolio. Thank you for buying a Tesla and make me richer 👍
There is more than just the cost of the vehicle. I have found that I have to upgrade the electric service at my home( $3500-5000) from 100 amps to 200 amps. Insurance increases about 80%, PPF is highly suggested by most RU-vidrs ( $2500-6000) because Tesla paint isn't very good and chips easily. Then there are all of the accessories that Tesla doesn't supply ( portable charger connector kit ($250). So while the disingenuous idea of factoring assumed gas savings as Tesla does to juke the vehicle price lower there are other hidden expenses they won't bring up to their customers. Buyer beware, the hole may be deeper than it first appears.
Most don't really need a portable charger and yes you will have to upgrade your breaker box OR you can just hook it up to your washing machine outlet; which is what most people do instead of paying the thousands for a new breaker. This depends on the age of the house, my uncle's house is 50+ years old and he just hooked it up to the washing machine outlet to charge. My house is about 20 years old so I was good for the 48amps I needed. The paint is pretty bad, my dad scratched his 2024 with nothing but a paper napkin; but it was also because the car was less than a month old and clear coat scratches really stand out on darker colours. Thats why you see so many Teslas wrapped. For us Insurance stayed the exact same, even after an at fault collision by my mother (which is why we got our Tesla in the first place). With the driving we do were saving hundreds of dollars a month in gas, which beats all the other factors.
I agree, to suggest gas savings alone as the whole story would be ridiculous. I did pay an electrician to put the dryer outlet, that ran me 450 bucks aside from that the only larger expense I’m seeing will be tires when I have to change those more often.
@@DrRussPhdcrazy thought, you don’t have to upgrade to 220v & you don’t need PPF. Put the money back in your pocket if your trying to penny pinch that hard lmao. I AM driver in Vegas who’s expenses are definitely different than yours… but I used to spend $25-$35 a day on gas ($625-$825 monthly) & now I charge at home for $6-$8 per day ($160-$220 monthly) in normal 25 days of working per month.. despite the change in never needing oil changes & reducing my brake pads of constantly riding my breaks in city driving.. I checked my savings before buying & after buying savings are indeed true at LEAST for a driver perspective😂 Monthly Savings: • Minimum monthly savings: $405 • Maximum monthly savings: $665 Savings over 5 years (60 months): • Minimum 5-year savings: $405 × 60 = $24,300 • Maximum 5-year savings: $665 × 60 = $39,900 So, your monthly savings range from $405 to $665, and over 5 years, you save between $24,300 and $39,900.. I also used tax write offs & have my previous gas expenses saved on a PDF spread sheet
@@DreDresChapters Actually I DO have to upgrade my breaker box as my utility service said my service is at max capacity ( electric stove, dryer, heat pumps). I live in northern New England so trying to charge on a 110 outlet is magical thinking in the winter. PPF is needed as Tesla paint is suspect at best, up here there is sand, salt during the winter , gravel, dirt roads year round. I don't drive as much as you so your savings will be greater than mine. I'm no Tesla hater but not a blind Elon lover either. I like the Model Y except for its limited range ( made much worse in colder weather). It is an imperfect world. Stay cool out there in Vegas.
I don’t plan on selling it in three years and we don’t know if the battery will die in seven years years pal. But if it does, I will gladly admit it was not better than some other cars..
2:10 Wait so you can actually freeze whole (or sliced) strawberries without blending them up before freezing, and the Ninja Creami will do the rest? I thought you had to blend up fruit before freezing your pints, at least the manual says so I think
For sure, let me know how it goes! That’s an insane deal. You could just put that up to a larger monitor and not have to even look at the broken screen.
That’s true, but I don’t think I ever need that as a casual camera user. I didn’t even if I do, I don’t want to carry around a large DSLR. That’s just me though.
Benefits of a digital camera over a phone: 1. Larger sensor. 2. Cheaper than a high end phone, therefore can be used in more riskier situations. Also, many don't want or need a $1000 phone. 3. Better low light. 4. Easier physical controls. Honestly, I feel like we're kind of being suckered a little though to be honest. The Sony NEX line for example, should be where digital "point and shoot" cameras are at. Rather than progressing the technology in less profitable models, it seems like they came up with this whole "mirror less" system with interchangeable lenses for many times the price. I'd recommend anyone looking for a less expensive point and shoot style camera look for something similar to the NEX cameras on the used market instead.
I have TV 20 years and same with my mobile phone, i will buy the new only when they will break, but i buy digital cameras with design i like - Nikon Z fc, Olympus OM-D...
1:44 spend the extra money on Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone. $150. I just got recommended your video on my home page and clicked and thought it was muted for the first whole thirty seconds. <3 good luck
Phones are more than enough for 99% of the people but if you want to take good photos you want full control of what you're doing without the ai processing that happens behind the curtain in phones. That doesn't mean that you can't take a great photo on a phone and as a matter of fact some of my favorites were with my pixel 5! The other difference is engagement when you're out there solely for shooting photos and its not only about phones versus cameras. For example I shot with Sony full frame cameras for a couple of years and it was so exhausting it felt like a chore. Feels more like a handheld computer that takes the photos for you rather you to be there to engage with the camera and your surroundings, hence why film is making a huge comeback! I sold most of my Sony gear and moved completely to FujiFIlm and once you hold and shoot with one of those cameras it all clicks together! And don't get me started on the incredible GFX series and ...... i wont actually start that topic because this thread would get way too long ! All in all everyone should shoot in whatever makes them feel best and more engaged, cameras are still sold a record pace and phones are more than enough for the majority of people! Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
If the digital cam is dead then why are the ricoh GR's super popular? One thing that cell phones are still garbage at and always will be is low light performance. Look at even small m4/3 cams compared to phones in low light and theres a massive difference
I think one point many - even casual - photographers miss is that just having a actual camera in your hand is so much more engaging than using a phone. Photos that are taken with your phone are way less intentional than those with a camera. It’s the same reason why I think instant photography has made a comeback, it’s just much more personal and every photo has so much more intent and therefore personality than just simply taking photos with your phone
Your are correct no need to buy a Digital camera unless you going make a living with your camera.🤔🫢🤫😜😎. Also you are handsome I hope you make more content.
For casual users yes, a phone is enough. For higher quality and control people still use cameras. It's worth noting, the advertising industry and film industry globally are still gigantic. They're largely driven by photography and videography which rely upon quality digital cameras as tools. That's not changing anytime soon.
if digital cameras are dead, why am i reaching for digital cameras instead of my pixel 8 pro? I'll tell you why. my phone is great, but you can still notice when i take a shot on my phone vs even my XT-200. there's two reasons for this, the first one is the sensor size and the second reason is this capitalistic obsession with AI. That cinematic mode on your phone was developed specifically because your camera is just too small and the sensor is too tiny to properly get a good "bokeh effect" It's fake, It's rarely perfect, and in most cases creates this upsampled look in addition to the fake bokeh. Your indoor shot was telling, and even a cheap 200 dollar X-A3 paired with a kit lens could do better at that light level and not have to fake the bokeh. Outside though, your shots look good and clear, more in line with my most expensive Mirrorless. but why the difference? because your phone's camera has tiny optics, a tiny sensor, so you need LOTS of light in order to prevent your camera from overdriving your ISO and AI chip. now, for my actual point. Do i think digicams are dead? Absolutely not. Phone cameras are stupid impressive in the current year and will absolutely replace most people's EDC digicam/DSLR, but they currently need AI to bridge the largest gaps in performance. You can currently get really far with a smartphone camera and adequate light, but you'll get much farther with a dedicated digital camera with the same light in addition to not faking any "effects" also, If digital cameras were dead, fuji wouldn't sell out in 5 business seconds upon the launch of any camera they make. Premium compacts wouldn't be so hard to get second hand right now if smartphone cameras were actually more capable than them. and finally, Cameras and lenses are paint brushes. Use whatever you have however you see fit. When you paint on a canvas, there isn't even a rule that states you have to use a paint brush. as long as you are happy with what you create who cares how you created it right? This goes for all cameras, including your phone! When i bought my first camera, i thought i wanted a fancy Sony that can shoot a million shots a second and produce more detail than i will ever know what to do with. Two years later and im now shooting exclusively on a second hand entry-level Fuji XT-200 with dead pixels on the sensor and a slow shutter. It will straight up misfire sometimes. But i love this camera so much that im even holding it in my PFP lmao. If you ONLY care about how images look and feel, shop around for a used late 2000's point and shoot and see what you learn from that experience. Try as many cameras as you can. Ask to borrow them from friends, rent them, buy them used, whatever it takes! Find your brush!
Holy amazing detailed response. I’m not gonna argue with anything you have said, you clearly know more about digital cameras than I do. How often do you find yourself taking pictures with your phone because you don’t have your camera with you? Do you think phones will ever be comparable to digital cameras in the next 10 to 20 years?
@@TechbyParker Hey! Okay so here we go, from a casual photographer to another! My very first "good" camera was actually a smartphone. it was an HTC sensation. It had a special sensor that housed larger megapixels compared to anything at the time. the cost was a lower MP resolution of about 8MP but the larger MPs meant better low light. That was a long time ago, and since that point til about two years ago i had thought that buying a fancy DSLR Was the thing holding me back from producing amazing photography. But as i explained above, (rather ironically) The camera doesn't matter. While no phone you can put in your pocket will be technically superior to a dedicated camera, The real lesson is that camera gear is as diverse as a toolbox. I'm not going to use my smartphone to shoot a wedding, My sony is much better equipped for that. For EDC stuff, i actually DO use my phone but i try to keep my Fuji on me as much as i can. My phone is more than enough for brightly lit daytime shots but it is never anywhere near enough as soon as the sun is setting. Since half of my commute is at night, I often find myself wishing i had brought a real camera whenever i encounter a good shot. Do i think phones will ever be comparable to digital cameras? look at how far they've come compared to cameras from 20 years ago! I think yes, but DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras will also advance into a place that will continue to be unattainable by physically smaller sensors. I think smartphones will always be catching up from a specs perspective. I personally believe that smartphones will continue to get better at "faking" the result until phones become the objectively perfect point and shoot for most average people. To compete, Phone manufacturers will have to continue making larger sensors and and figure out how to squeeze complicated optics into a phone in order to compete with "real" digital cameras. Over time i can see smartphones surpassing the quality of even my sony but all that will mean is that my phone will become more useful for more photographic opportunities. I still dont think it will replace my dedicated mirrorless until it can physically do what my mirrorless can do without the help of AI full stop. I think smartphones are limited in size and due to physics will never be able to properly surpass larger format cameras without AI assistance. I think the real answer is that nothing will really change. The photographer will continue to pick the tool that suits their artwork the best. Smartphones count, and can produce some stellar shots. I am currently walking to a car show with three cameras: my Google Pickle 8 Pro, XT-200 (with my first 50mm heck yeah), and my old 3ds from middle school. I really want to try and get some old school camcorder style footage because i personally think that would be cool (and thats all that matters) Go on instagram and follow this dude named @schlanman.hard.photos as well as @geit.eero they are both phenomenal photographers and you'll often see them shooting with cameras you can find at the back of a goodwill!
