Cuisinart ICE-60WP1 2-Quart Cool Creations Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, Gelato and Sorbet Maker, LCD Screen with Countdown Timer, Makes Frozen Treats in 20-Minutes or Less, Stainless Steel/White

Great Homemade Ice Cream—Just Needs a Bit of PatienceI’ve been using the Cuisinart 2 Qt Ice Cream Maker, and overall, it’s a solid machine. It’s super easy to use—just freeze the bowl ahead of time, pour in your mixture, and let it churn. In about 20–25 minutes, you’ve got smooth, delicious ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt.The 2-quart size is perfect for families or entertaining, and clean-up is pretty straightforward. The only thing to note is you must freeze the bowl for at least 24 hours beforehand for the best results, so it’s not exactly spontaneous. Also, the motor can be a bit loud while running, but nothing too crazy.All in all, it’s a great buy if you love homemade ice cream and don’t mind a little prep time!

This ice cream maker is so fun to use! It looks nice, it’s easy to clean and it makes great ice cream in about 15 minutes! Great ice cream maker for the cost. Very strong and durable and does exactly what it’s supposed to. Just the right size for making ice cream at home for your family.

Makes great ice cream, just like you get from an ice cream shop. Very easy to use also and doesn't take up a lot of space.

My cuisinart ice cream maker went out after a lot of use (abt 7 yrs) and I had to have another one as we like our frozen treats. I decided to get another one but that particular model wasn’t available anymore so I got this one. It works basically the same and easy to use. If it wasn’t for the noise I would have given this 5 stars, but this particular model is way louder and I find that very annoying. I love cuisinart and have never had any problems with anything I have purchased with that brand. If you can over look the noise, it does as intended.

I had a Cuisinart ice cream maker (purchased in 2002) and it worked ok but I wasn't in love with it and used it rarely (I donated it when we moved three years ago). Recently, I decided to get another ice cream maker and looked at ones with compressors (Lello $700 and Whynter $300-$400) but for that kind of money how often and how many batches do I really plan on making? After reading the reviews, I decided on this $150 Cuisinart model. It fits nicely in my pantry but not sure why people complain about it being so noisy, it's what I'd expect.The directions for operating and cleaning are easy. Having a 2 qt. capacity is great if you want to throw in some add-in's (chocolate chips, fresh fruit, etc). It makes Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt and Gelato. The on/off switch automatically sets the time depending on your choice but you can add or minus minutes if you choose. Once you are done with your first batch (30-45 minutes) the drum which remains quite cold, gets washed then back in the freezer it goes. It doesn't take but a few hours to re-freeze so if you want to make another batch you're good to go. Gelato is my favored frozen treat and it comes out so creamy.Btw - I recommend a cookbook "The Art of Making Gelato" by Morgan Morano. Both the Biscoff and Apple Pie gelato are amazing!!! One caveat; you will need a good digital scale that shows grams and ounces (Oxo is a good choice). I also recommend using a Tovolo container which is air-tight (as a precaution against ice crystals, I also place a piece of plastic directly on the surface of the gelato but that's just me).Unless you want the convenience of having a compressor I highly recommend this model for the price, ease of use and most importantly, the results!

The media could not be loaded. We absolutely love our cuisinart ice cream maker. Made a small batch of blueberry ice cream today and it was delicious. Recipes are easy to follow and make. Some complained that the machine is too loud, but it’s about the same noise that my kitchenaid makes so it wasn’t an issue. Would absolutely recommend for a fun, healthy ice cream.

I'm so pleased with our Cuisinart ice cream maker purchase. I highly recommend the Cuisinart Ice-70 to all. So easy and rewarding to plan ahead your ingredients for your favorite flavor ice cream and gelato. Making gelato with an egg yolk custard is new to me and the creaminess with fresh in season fruit is the real deal. Not hard to make! Just watch a YouTube video or two to get the hang of it. I'd rather have less quantity of highest quality fresh ice cream than something from a grocery store that's not only expensive but filled with air, preservatives, gums, and/or saw dust (looking at you, Breyer's).Tip, so when you're done making your batch of ice cream and have removed it from the freezer bowl to a separate ice cream container or tupper ware, don't immediately soak that still frozen freezer bowl in your sink with hot water etc. That would probably be a quick way to thermal shock that bowl into cracking possibly. I can imagine many can't or don't read the instructions... -worth mentioning, even if that is common sense. I just leave the empty sticky freezer bowl on a counter to come to room temperature gradually for an hour or so, then it cleans up in seconds with Dawn and warm water. Make sure it's fully dry and level before putting back in your freezer for a future ice cream batch so the freezable liquid inside it can freeze level.
