Comparison Ninja CREAMi XL Deluxe 11-in-1 NC501 vs UNOLD 48870

— Semi-automatic. Semi-automatic ice cream makers include those that do not have built-in freezers: to make ice cream in them, the whisk with the cooler must be cooled separately, for example, in the freezer of the fridge. This may create some inconvenience; on the other hand, such models have less weight, dimensions and price than automatic ones.

— Automatic. Automatic ice cream makers are equipped with their own built-in freezers and are completely self-contained, because they cool the whisk themselves and do not require separate freezers unlike semi-automatic models. This greatly simplifies the use, however, such devices have the corresponding dimensions, weight and price.

The total volume of the device allows you to estimate how much product can be prepared in it at a time. In ice cream makers and yogurt makers with a bowl for cottage cheese, the volume is determined by the capacity of this bowl. And if there are several working glasses, the total volume is equal to the sum of all the containers.

The presence of several programs in the device allows you to cook various products without any hassle. The yoghurt maker itself adjusts the right time (and sometimes temperature) for preparing a given dairy product.

The delayed start timer allows you to delay the start of making yogurt or ice cream so that the product is ready at a specific time, and the user does not have to turn on the device manually. This function can be useful if you plan to be away from home all day - just load the ingredients in advance, set the start time, and the tasty treat will be ready at a specific hour.
