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.

I've been using this to make sugar free ice cream (using Bochasweet instead of sugar for my diabetic husband). It works fantastic with 2 cups whipping cream, 3/4 cup bochasweet, 1 cup whole milk, and about a tbsp of vanilla. I let it go the full 60 minutes. It is to die for.

I had the Cuisinart ICE50 for years and loved it, having an ice cream maker that had the compressor gives a great freedom to be able to make ice cream anytime without having to store a canister in the freezer. I finally wore it out and ordered the Cuisinart ICE100, I love the upgrades they did to this model, a larger capacity, the lid is one piece and locks in nicely, the blade fits in the bottom and the opening on the lid to add ingredients to the ice cream has a door in it as opposed to an opening. I make enomous amounts of ice cream and I am enjoying using my new ice cream maker.
