I have had several types of ice cream makers from attachments to free standing separate appliances. I found that I never used them as they all needed to have the required bowl frozen in advance and, as I did not have room to keep the bowl in my freezer, the required hours then needed to freeze the bowl made me drop the idea of making ice cream. With the inclusion of the compressor feature in the Cuisinart unit, no pre-freeze is needed, and making ice cream and other frozen treats is now something I can do whenever I want. The machine is relatively quiet and simple to use and it makes fantastic frozen desserts. What I like best is that I can determine exactly what is put into the mix and avoid either preservatives or artificial additives as well as choose to make a non-dairy or non-egg type of frozen dessert. All of the recipes I have come out quite well in this machine. Overall, a real winner!

Have made strawberry ice cream in it so far and it was super easy!!! The ice cream was delicious and I was able to make 2 batches back to back without any problems from the machine.

I purchased this for my tiny cafe, it's a nice heavy machine. Looks great, can make great Ice cream/sorbet..the problem is, the motor is not terribly strong, the lid is easily un-locked, the machine gets super cold and locks up.. It works, I'm happy that I got it..just expected a much much more powerful machine.

I'm am sure glad I took a moment to read the reviews and found out that this one has a compressor. It makes it so much easier not having to deal with salt and ice. I have made coconut/ peach ice cream and rum and raisin. Both came out perfect and much easier to do than with the conceal l conventional methods. Love the Ice-100

I purchased this product about a month ago and can't stop using it! I have had two ice cream makers before this one and with each I had to freeze the bowl prior to making ice cream. With this ice cream maker we can have ice cream any time. Just put the ingredients together, pour into the machine and we have fresh ice cream in about 40 minutes. It is wonderful. Why did I wait so long to buy it? Don't wait, enjoy it now!!
