I don't know why I waited so long to get my own ice cream maker. I was driven now by my inability to find a high-quality peach ice cream for the summer. After some pretty thorough research, I chose this one by Cuisinart -- and I could not happier. It is incredibly easy to use, very fast (20 minutes!) and was by far the best price for an electric churn. So far, I've only made the "simple chocolate" and "simple vanilla" recipes included and they are among the best I've tasted ANYWHERE for those flavors. Next up (in the next day or two): strawberry -- after which I'll start going more exotic (including peach, as soon as I can find some good, ripe, Georgia peaches). I could not recommend this maker more highly.

My husband wasn't sure about an ice cream maker that didn't need the usual rock salt & ice. It does require planning ahead of time, unless you have space to leave the main bowl in your freezer at all times. Only a few minutes to mix your ingredients, less than 20 minutes in the maker (bowl spins not the paddle) and the you have about 6 cups of fresh ice cream. It's an ICE-21P1 model.

Careful how much liquid you put in, it can overflow during the freezing process. Works great, simple to use, and easy to clean if it does overflow. (Might know from personal experience).

Bought the ice cream machine simply because it was on sale. So glad I did! Watching ice cream come to life was fun enough but who imagined it would be so delicious? Even the vanilla is fabulous. Not sure I can ever go back to store bought again. Buy it and enjoy!

I have tried several of the ice cream and sorbet recipes, and they have all been perfectly delicious. It’s fun to experiment with different fruits and flavors. Frozen margaritas are fantastic! Everyone should have this machine!

We are quite happy with our ice cream maker. The bowl froze solid with 24 hours and stayed frozen until the ice cream was churned to a soft-serve consistency. The ice cream went from liquid to spoon-able in less than 20 minutes. The pieces are easy to clean and seem very sturdy. I hope I will be able to use it for many years. to come.
