NinjaCreamer.com is supported by affiliate commissions. This page states exactly how that works so you can read every review on the site knowing where the money comes from and what it does and does not influence.
The Amazon Associates statement
NinjaCreamer.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
What that means in practice
Every Check price button, product card and product link on this site opens a product page on Amazon.com. The link carries our Associates tag. If you buy something during the session that follows, Amazon pays us a commission calculated as a percentage of the sale. You pay the same price you would have paid by typing the product name into Amazon yourself; the commission comes from Amazon, not from you.
We link only to Amazon. We do not use other affiliate networks, link shorteners or redirect services, and every outbound product link is marked as sponsored and nofollow so that search engines treat it as a paid link, which it is.
What the commission pays for
The commissions pay for the machines. Every Ninja Creami on this site, all six current models, was bought on Amazon with the site’s own money, along with the pint packs for all three pint systems and the ingredients for the four test bases we run through each machine. We do not request or accept review units from SharkNinja or from any retailer, and we do not return machines after testing. The 30 day updates in each review are possible because we still own and use every unit.
What the commission does not change
The commission rate Amazon pays does not vary by which Creami model you buy, so we have no reason to steer you toward one listing over another. Our scores come from a published rubric that weights texture at 30 percent, programs at 20, capacity at 15, noise at 10, ease and cleaning at 15 and value at 10, and every input to that rubric is a measurement we took: texture score per base, re-spin count, cycle time in seconds, noise in dB at 1 m, dishwasher results after 20 cycles. The NC601 Deluxe sits at the top of our table because our protein base came out creamy on its first spin with no re-spin. The NC299AMZ sits at the bottom because it comes in one color and ships with a thinner box, not because of how its listing pays. Where we think a model is the wrong buy for a given household, the review says so, and our Is the Ninja Creami worth it? page tells four kinds of reader not to buy one at all.
What we do not print
We do not print prices, dollar amounts, discount percentages, stock levels or star ratings copied from Amazon. Prices change too often for a printed figure to stay true, and the Associates Program requires that pricing be shown live through Amazon’s own tools. Our deals pages describe when discounts tend to appear and which model to buy at each event, never a number.

We do not use SharkNinja product renders, lifestyle imagery or logos anywhere on the site; every product photo is one we took of a machine we own.
