good, but.... May 7, 2008

THis was a pretty good ice cream maker, it was nice in that the compressor was part of the machine, it was rather heavy and loud and the mixer does not scrape the sides very well. The other problem I encountered was the quality of the container. When the mixture is frozen the container is difficult to release from the well and the handle is so flimzy that it comes unattached making it very difficult to remove the container of ice cream until it has warmed slightly and released.

Love the Cuisinart Ice Cream maker (50BC) May 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We ordered the Cuisinart ICE-50BC ice-cream maker after buying all other types. We started with the hand crank years and years ago, graduated to the electric bucket type, then the small ones that required pre-cooling with limited amounts of ice. Later we bought the fancy Cuisinart dual ice cream maker that required a pre-frozen container and cold ingredients. They were all a hassle. Now we have this wonderfully easy machine. You are not suppose to use warm ingredients but having some prechilled milk or sugar water is good enough. We've tossed just about everything in, from chocolate almond milk with mashed bananas to serinam cherries with egg fruit. We are all frozen dessert lovers and having a different flavor every night is great fun. My only (minor) complaints are that it is noisy (don't use it next to the table if you want to talk during dinner) and that we could easily use two containers because one container of great ice-cream dissapears too quickly.
One more note was that the service and delivery time was excellent! Very fast and without any problems. Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker

Good Ice Cream February 7, 2008

I have been using ice cream makers at home for over thirty years. Here is why I like this machine. It's fast. I can think of a probiotic, frozen yogurt or fruit recipe and try it out. No waiting just go. Serve it it up and see what is the response.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! February 6, 2008

Believe everything you've read in the other bad reviews! I, too, am a professional pastry chef, and find this machine completely horrifying.
This is the cheapest, most overpriced piece of junk you may ever come across.
The motor mechanism for churning the ice cream is not a built-in part of the machine-- it is that external arm you see on the top of the machine. This "motor" clips onto a very cheap plastic dasher (the same cheap dasher you will find in the $50 freeze-the-bowl models) through a hole in the lid. This means: a)the cheap motor will become overloaded the minute a mixture stiffens, but long before the ice cream is done, b)at some point with any decent amount of use the motor will burn out altogether, c)the hole in the lid lets refrigeration escape.
Another thing to point out is that the removable bowl is made of very thin, cheap metal. The machine chills the bowl, and in the process, cooling power is lost.
It is loud as a jet engine, takes about 45-50 minutes to make a batch, looks and feels very flimsy, and creates grainy, icy products that are seriously no better than you would make with an inexpensive $50 machine.
If you don't want to spend $700 on a serious Italian gelato maker, just get a freeze-the-bowl machine with an extra bowl and you will make similar, if not better quality ice creams and sorbet.

Makes great ice cream! February 2, 2008

Great machine, no planning needed, no bowl to freeze and and worry about loosing it's cold before your ice cream is frozen. Plan on locking it in a seperate room though, it is REALLY noisy.
