Creates creamy delicious ice cream with great consistency in 25-60 minutes. Love the built in compressor that doesn’t require freezing the bowl beforehand. Looks nice on countertop. Great recipes included. Easy to use and clean.
So far the Ice cream was very tasty. The recipe called for whole milk and heavy cream , but the next time I make it again I'll just use the whole milk instead of adding the cream , it was a wee bit too rich , other than that it was really good. Definitely would buy the Cuisinart ICE 100 again.
I love it and the machine works wonderfully but have 1 major annoyance to the overall design of the machine. As the ice cream gets near completion the ice cream comes out the flip lid that you are to use when adding additional condiments near the end. The ice cream gets pushed up and comes out the flap and runs down the front edge of the unit. If the unit was designed to be a little taller or if the flap lip snapped shut with a seal this would prevent it from overflowing. My work around has been to put packing tape across the door to seal it while it is churning. If I need to add any condiments I peal the tape off and reapply it after all my additions have been added for the final 5-10 minutes of churning. This has kept it from running all over. It's the best ice cream and love that I can make batch after batch if desired.
After the first ten or so uses the gears on the machine and the bottom of the hopper started popping and not grabbing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
