Excellent, tExcellent, Excellent - We love it! So fast and easy to use - our problem is we are making and eating too much great ice cream and gelatto! Thanks!
I love the ease of use and the ice cream is delicious! I haven’t made anything else as I’m stuck on loving the ice cream too much. Easy to operate, a bit on the heavy side but worth the reward. I recommend.
Machine works OK, BUT the recipes have issues. If you follow them and don't know to NOT fill above the instructed paddle area the ice cream overflows -- a lot
The recipes advise mixing the ingredients and then chilling for 2 hours or overnight. Thought this unit was mix, pour and press button, no pre chilling
I read about this machine in a blog by a fairly famous ice cream maker/pastry chef. I hemmed and hawed for a while, having had less than stellar experiences with the hassle of homemade ice cream in the past. I finally pulled the trigger and I must say I am delighted. I can hear it working away right now in my laundry room, making my 4th batch of ice cream. The ease of use is mind-blowing. I have not felt the need to advance beyond the basic vanilla recipe in the product instruction manual (despite purchasing a book of ice cream and sorbet recipes, which is still unopened). The only quibble I have is that it is messy and fussy to remove the ice cream when it is ready (cue violins). I am very happy with this product, Cuisinart!
