I really like homemade ice cream, and this appliance makes it simple and neat. Since it has a freezer compressor built in I don't have to bother with messy ice and salt. It's much quieter than regular homemade ice cream makers that requires ice, so I can set it on any counter inside my home, and it doesn't disturb us while we're talking or watching television. I really like that I can experiment with ingredients and make any flavor ice cream that I choose, and the best part is that I know exactly what me and my family are eating. With the correct cream to milk ratio it brings the ice cream to a perfect consistency for spooning into bowls, and any that's not eaten remains a perfect consistency in the refrigerator freezer. I think it would be better if it made a half gallon instead of one and one half quarts, but I'm satisfied with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don’t like that you can’t put more than 3 cups of liquid, and even then it starts spilling out of the top and making a mess. Also the mixing arm leaves a big wad of ice cream revolving around the top and not keeping it mixing.

The only detriment to this appliance is the very limited capacity. 1.5 quarts maximum seriously limits the usefulness. The product it makes is excellent and it is very easy to use. One of our favorites is cherry vanilla ice cream with crushed walnuts. We use the strawberry recipe but substitute chopped cherries and add a handful of walnut pieces. 1.5 quarts of this just aint enough.

I used my last Cuisinart ice cream maker (the one where you put the bowl into the freezer) so much that it finally died. So I upgraded to this one. I love it! Not having to freeze the bowl overnight means 1) I don't have to plan so far in advance; 2) I don't have to make room in my freezer for the bowl; and 3) I can make multiple batches, different flavors, on the same day! So easy to use, such delicious ice cream. Very happy.
