A Great Buy!
My grandkids had wanted an ice cream maker since last year and we went shopping together and bought this. Already in just a few weeks we've had so much fun making ice cream & frozen yogurt. The best part is yet to come, because we'll have ice cream anytime we want it up at the cabin this summer! I love the fact that the machine is so easy to use - just keep the freezer bowl in the back of the freezer and it'll be ready when you are.

YUM.
I've always been intimidated by making ice cream, but this makes it super easy. You'll need to keep the bowl in your freezer, so plan on making room for it. I keep the base in a cabinet and pull it out when I want to use it.
We've made a couple of sherbets and ice creams and found we can make 6-8 servings in the machine. The ice cream is very soft if you serve immediately, if you prefer a little stiffer texture, just pack up servings and put them back in the freezer.

Favorite Wedding Gift
My husband and I received this ice cream maker as a wedding gift, and it's probably our favorite item that we received! We keep the bowl in the freezer all the time so that we can always throw together some ice cream when we want it. Definitely worth the money!

Awesome Machine
I had done my research when it comes to ice cream makers, and I had no doubt this would be a nice tool for the kitchen but I was still super impressed by the ice cream we made on our very first try! My (very picky) children loved it, and my husband was oohing and aahing over it for a couple of days. It was the super simple recipe for vanilla we took from the enclosed recipe book, and we will be trying many more recipes from the book and I am sure making up our own.
You should know that you do have to pre-freeze the freezer bowl for up to 24 hours in advance, but you can purchase an extra freezer bowl from Cuisinart so that you always have one ready.
Love this machine!

Love it, use it, wish it was a little bigger
This thing is terrific and I use it all the time in the summer. My only complaint is that I'd love for it to hold just a little more of the finished product. I'd also recommend finding the Ben & Jerry's cookbook. If you're into awesome ice cream, that is.

Easy to Use, Great Price
The ice cream produced by this product is simply wonderful. It has a fresh, pure taste that outshines anything I could purchase from the store. I bought it mainly because I wanted to have control of my ingredients, particularly organic, locally-sourced items. This product couldn't be simpler to use, and I think it will pay for itself fairly quickly in savings over the cost of premium purchased ice cream.

Yummmmmm!
I loooove homemade ice cream and this ice cream maker does it just right! It comes with easy to follow instructions and ice cream is made relatively quickly. The strawberry ice cream recipe is delicious!

Easy to use
Love this ice cream maker! After years of using a old ice cream maker that required ice and salt, it's fun to have this versatile ice cream maker. I just keep the freezer bowl in the freezer and can enjoy delicious ice cream in 20 minutes. Already made vanilla ice cream twice in the first week we got the maker!

easiest ice cream
the ultimate "ice cream made easy" . We love this prdoduct. I have made yogurt ice cream and geltato so far, and both have come out perfect. My family raves and asks for more. If it was'nt so easy I would not be makeing as much or as often as I do.

SO FUN!
Best gift ever! This is such a fun and easy way to make a ton of delicious deserts that are sure to impress. I love that I can create great ice cream and sorbet, and I know EXACTLY what's in the finished product. A must have kitchen item!

Makes Ice Cream Making Easy
The husband was a bit concerned that this wouldn't get muh use and would collect dust on a shelf. Nothing could be farther than the truth. I love using this in the summer to try out new ice cream recipes. The booklet comes with some recipes, but just google and you can find tons of others. My only complaint would be that you have to know in advance that you'll be making ice cream, so the canister has sufficient time in the freezer. We tried rushing it one time and our ice cream never became solid.

Love homemade ice cream
This was a wedding gift "to us, from us" and my husband and I cannot get enough of it! I make ice cream at least once a week and have tried most of the recipes in the booklet as well as a variety of others.
After a year of use, I have a few helpful hints:
-Make sure your freezer is set for an appropriately cold setting or the bowl will not freeze properly. I store it at the back of the freezer.
-Horizon organic whipping cream seems to make a fluffier ice cream than any other variety
-Substitute nutella for peanut butter in the pb ice cream recipe for the best ice cream ever.
-Don't skimp on chilling the ice cream mix before placing it in the mixer. The ice cream churns better and is much fluffier if it is thoroughly chilled when it goes in to the maker
-Homemade ice cream is more expensive than most name brand store bought ice creams, but it is healthier and tastes much better

Fast, easy and delicious ice cream
What a wonderful appliance. It's easy to use, quiet with quick clean up and makes absolutely wonderful ice cream. I keep the container in the freezer and can have fresh homemade ice cream within 15 minutes at a moments notice. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves ice cream/frozen yogurt.

Great!
I received this ice cream maker as a gift. It is wonderful. So far I've only made the strawberry ice cream recipe from the booklet but everything was easy and super yummy! I can't wait to make some frozen yogurt!
