I saw a Rizzler and fell in love with it, but it comes with a 25ah battery. I'm looking for a 60/72v mini bike that looks like a Rizzler and has a 35ah+ battery. I know E&C sells 35/45ah. But that would push the price from $2,700 to $4k+. I'd like to keep it close to $3k. I currently have a Road Runner Pro, which looks nice and I love zipping around on. But the Rizzler looks so much slicker.

I googled and don't see any threads on it anywhere. I came across this on Target's website, will be trying it as soon I run out of Fairlife. Assuming it makes comparable ice cream in taste/texture, 15g of protein and a 64oz jug's $4 so it would wind up being a solid amount cheaper for the folks here like me who make 4-5 pints of protein ice cream a week.

TL;DNR - I thought an ice cream maker with a compressor so I could make it on the spot would be better, so I sold my Creami and bought 1. I've used it for about a week, and am sending it back to Amazon and just ordered a Creami Deluxe.

I loved my Creami, it makes fantastic protein ice cream. My 2 big beefs were it's way too loud so I can't use it late night. And the mix-in feature absolutely pulverizes anything I add. The Whynter is super quiet and the mix ins come out perfect. Also, you don't have to make the base a day before. You can do a base and have ice cream about 20-30 minutes later. I ended up selling the Creami and bought a Whynter ICM-128WS.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side tho. The identical recipe I'd use in the Creami comes out far too airy. It can make 1.28qt, which is 2.5x more than a Creami pint. But, with the same recipe making what would be a pint in the Creami ends up barely fitting. It expands to the very top of the lid which should hold 1.28qt. That's how much air it's putting in it. It's closer to thicker whipped cream than soft serve. It tastes great, but I'd need to start making a custard base and/or using heavy cream instead of milk, which would shoot the calories for a pint from about 300 to well over 1000, and add a ton of fat.

And if I went the custard route, it would be a lot more work, and they say it's best if you put the custard base in the fridge for a day. Which would negate the fact you can make ice cream in 30 minutes lol. I've only used Fairlite whole milk in it, and that came out too fluffy. So 2% would be worse. They call this style Philly ice cream, but I think what I'm getting here is well beyond the consistency of a good Philly one.

I actually do like the texture of what it makes, but it's not what I'd want every time. And it melts almost instantly, so eating it right out of the machine like I always would with my Creami doesn't work well unless you're going at it like it's an eating contest.

I got the machine for $155 (open box) on Amazon, it's fantastic for the price. Even the normal price of $220s great. And with a proper custard base you can make 1.8qt. And I'm sure if a person's willing to make a custard base or use heavy cream it's gonna be fantastic. But I'm too lazy to cook a mixture and temper eggs and do extra steps. So after a little over a week. I just ordered a Creami Deluxe & I'm returning this to Amazon.

I'm still gonna hate not being able to use it late night, and not being able to effectively use mix-ins. But I discovered this machines trade offs were maybe worse.

Question to anyone who actually read all this, are there any mix-in's that the Creami doesn't completly evaporate? I would like some chunks of something in my pints but the stuff I've tried ended up destroyed.

I understand that's not what a frother is meant for. A neighbor's selling their Breville Frother. Out of curiousty I googled and AI says that a heated frother can be used to make a custard ice cream base.

But I'm curious how well it would actually work. Seems like it could be a decent method, if not way overkill. I'm wondering how being mixed it into a froth would effect it. I plan to leave it in the fridge for 24 hours. I'm going to use a salt and straw like base, but without sugar. I'll be using allulose and liquid allulose.

I have a Road Runner Pro, I'm looking at Powerful Lithium's batteries. What would the range difference be between the 30/25ah going from 60 to 72v? I know I got a lot more range with my WKGTP due to it being 72v, that battery was only 5ah bigger. I see they have a 38ah battery but that's $$$. So I'm wondering how much further I could go jumping to a 72v controller with the smaller 25ah battery they sell.
