4 out of 5 stars Better Than Expected   July 19, 2008
After reading the reviews of this ice cream maker here on amazon, I decided to give it a try - after making sure my freezer was under 0 degrees, which it was. As soon as it arrived, I cleaned the bucket and put it in the freezer, and checked the parts. Sure, it's a bit plasticky, but that's okay with me. Then found a recipe for sorbet, made the base and put it in the fridge. Two hours before churning, I put the base in the freezer.

After reading so many complaints about the noise, I expected something between a vacuum cleaner and an airplane. That's why I was very pleasantly surprised at how quiet the unit is. I talked to my son on my cell phone right next to it while it was running, and I had no problem hearing him. Sure, it makes some noise, but nothing like a blender and quieter than our kitchen fan on medium.

After 20 minutes, I checked and the mixture was thickening, so I gave it another 20 minutes. When I was finished, my mixture had the texture of a thick milkshake, so I popped it in the freezer and it hardened right up. After 20 minutes, the bucket was still very cold even though it was over 80 in the house.

So far, so good. I'm very happy with my ice cream maker, and look forward to a summer of icy treats :)


5 out of 5 stars good machine ... for now   July 17, 2008
I bought this machine with trepidation. I read that some users had trouble with the ice cream melting way too quickly. or being soupy. I found the machine to do exactly what I wanted. However, I do think I understand what may have happened to cause the ice cream to be too soupy. I think that these machines are meant to bring the ice cream to a very soft stage. I would call this stage one. I took the ice cream out of the machine when it was done, and put it in containers in the freezer to really set up and harden. I think that step 2, doing that, will solve the problem for those who were having trouble with the ice cream being too soft or soupy.

My main concern, after using this machine successfully, is that the two cuisinart blenders I bought all broke in the same way. Many others online seem to have this same problem. I called cuisinart many times about this. But they would not help me. I read online that other people had the same problem with cuisinart customer service. I have made peace, for now, with buying the ice cream machine knowing that if something goes wrong with it I will not be able to turn to cuisinart. This machine may last for years. And it may last for months. Either way, I am enjoying it now.


3 out of 5 stars Easy to use and clean, very noisy   July 17, 2008
This ice cream maker seems well-designed, is easy to clean, compact, has a cord storage compartment in back, and it works as described. It makes about 1 quart though, not 1 1/2. More than a quart of unfrozen liquid will expand beyond the capacity during the freezing process and overflow, making a big mess. The motor is also very noisy, so much so I thought there was something really wrong with it the first time we used it, but because it works fine, we think it's just a noisy appliance. The noise level increases as the mixture thickens during freezing so it's probably normal. I wouldn't use it if anyone in the house were trying to sleep!


5 out of 5 stars Easiest ever ice cream, sorbet, sherbet or gelato!   July 15, 2008

No salt, no ice, no fuss, no muss! Easy clean-up! Scrumptious ice cream, sorbet, sherbet or gelato after 30 minutes in the machine. Consistency of bought ice cream after 2 hours in the freezer. No guar gum and carrageenan like most store bought ice cream--can use local fresh fruit for flavor. Keep the gel tub in the freezer and make ice cream on a whim! Enjoy!


5 out of 5 stars Great Ice Cream maker   July 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this ice cream maker for my dad for Father's Day and then decided to buy one for my husband too. We have made two different kinds of ice cream since getting it --Cookies and Cream and Strawberry Cheesecake. Both ice creams turned out great! When you first make the ice cream, it is a little like soft serve. The kids enjoyed it this way. But after keeping the ice cream in the freezer for a few hours, we were able to dip it for ice cream cones. My only recommendation is that you buy the extra freezer cylinder with it. The recipe that I had for the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream made 3 quarts, so we had to wait until the cylinder froze again before making the second batch.
