Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker

Okay, so I want this review to be really informative so that it can help anyone who is considering to buy this but a little apprehensive. I must say the comments didnt look promising to me at all but since I have been eyeing this for quite a few months and I knew that at some point of time I would definitely have it in my kitchen,expensive.. sure but I just went ahead and bought this for my anniversary lol!So I had already read about someone whose machine unfortunately blew down due to the voltage problem (it being 110V needs a step down convertor) I also got a call from the seller informing me that I would need a convertor, which was really nice.So this got delivered to me in under 15 days amd went out and bought a step down convertor (100 watts just to be on the safe side) the day after.I had already seen many many ice cream recipes on youtube(laura vitale) samd had quite a few in mind but I went ahead with the mango ice cream since its summer already and I have been missing mangoes big time!I was really scared when I plugged my machine into the convertor and switched it on, to my relief it didnt blow up lolI must point out that I have a huge LG 4- door refrigerator so the freezer temperature wasnt a problem for me but as a measure I shook the frozen bowl and it was frozen solid so I knew that was a good starting point.I poured my custard bsased mixture that has been in the fridge for 4 hours and in the freezer for the last 15 min into the machine and within 15 min I could see that the texture was a hit! By 25 min the soft serve texture was achieved (for completely frozen ones you have to keep it in the freezer which is always mentioned everywhere even in the youtube videos) but I let it run for 4 extra min (total 29 min) just to be sure.I took out the icecream and it was delicious and of soft serve texture that we get in malls. I have now kept it in the freezer just to set conpletely and I am sure it would!So yeah I definitely love this machine and I am so excited about the different flavors I could make in this! Tomorrow I am gonna make vanilla chocolate chio ice cream ;-) the custard is already cooling in the fridge and the ice cream machine bowl in the freezer ;-)So its definitely a great buy, its no doubt expensive but for someone like me who loves to cook up and experiment with different recipes, its a great buy! I love it! I took some pics but cant find the attach pics button :-(

Good product and fast delivery as promised.

First, the device comes with a wrong connector, then you can install a different plug. Finally, one looks forward to the first ice cream, put it and fills all in accordance with regulations. Now on to a: A bang, a spark of light, and the thing is scrap. How can to India, where 220 volts are standard sell a kitchen appliance for 120 volts. I'm just disappointed.

I bought the cuisinart ice-cream maker because our family indulges in ice-creams quite often, and I prefer home-made full-fat products. Having seen several demonstrations, and having experimented with the ice-cream maker almost 6 times before I took time to write this review, I realized that Indian summers and temperatures in addition to freezing temperatures in our "normal" fridges make it difficult for one to get the consistency that one see's in videos, while making ice-cream.I am going to freeze my bowl in a blue-star deep freezer, and we will have to see if this works. However, this is not practical for the Indian with an ordinary fridge. Hence, I do not recommend this particular gadget for the Indian customer.
