Cuisinart

Pros: Easy to use.

Cons: Just wish it made a larger amount for a crowd.

The Bottom Line: This is one of the easiest ways I have found to make homemade ice cream. No mess and very little work.

Review: I am like most of the people in the US I love ice cream. It doesn’t have to be summer to enjoy these creamy concoctions. Anytime of the year will do and in fact I seem to crave it more in the winter than I do in the summer.

Several months...

Pros: Custom ingredients, easy-to-use, cleans easily, delicious, not too big, sleek, compact.

Cons: need 2nd bowl, have to make sure freezing bowl is frozen solid

The Bottom Line: When non-dairy ice creams compromised to unhealthy ingredients, I was thrilled to get this ice cream maker for a gift.  It is a great source of family entertainment too!

Review: In order to stay at top level health, I have not been able to eat traditional dairy ice cream for many years.  A very long time ago (before it was chic) I began to purchase various non-dairy ice cream products.  The first being RICE DREAM which ...

Pros: You get to make your own frozen desserts without the mess!

Cons: A potentially fattening and expensive hobby.

The Bottom Line: The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker will turn you into an ice cream wizard!

Review: Last summer, I got a wild hair and decided to purchase a used electric ice cream maker off Ebay for about $7. In order to get our decidedly low tech ice cream maker to work, my husband Bill had to buy ice and rock salt. The process was messy and ...

Pros: Produces a great product Flavors limited only by your imagination

Cons: You need to freeze the sleeve to below zero F

The Bottom Line: Fantastic gadget to make tasty home made Ice Cream, Gelato and Sorbet.

Review: As much as we love Ice Cream and Gelato - It has way too much fat for our diet. So, we like to make our own - reducing or eliminating the fat (yes, that makes it a Sorbet). We also like to make our own flavors, Ever had Zinfandel or Tamarind ...

Pros: Great quality, fun to mix and create your own ice cream.

Cons: Takes a while to freeze the bowl and to firm up the ice cream.

Review: i have had this maker for several years and have lent it out to friends. Everyone is very happy with the quality of ice cream and people I have lent it to have bought their own. The bowl takes time to freeze and you gotta plan ahead as the ice cream ...

Pros: having your choice to make it soft ice cream or hard ice cream.

Cons: none that I can think of

Review: The day I received my ice cream maker I ran to the supermarket for everything I needed and 25 minutes later I had the best, creamy ice cream. This ice cream maker is sooo easy to use. I made coffee mocha for my first try and I just can't get over how ...

Pros: Relatively inexpensive; works very well; easy to use

Cons: Noisy; small capacity; inner bowl must be completely frozen before use

The Bottom Line: Sooo easy to use, and it makes some of the best ice cream in the world, though not a lot at a time.

Review: I received a $50 gift card from Linens-n-Things, and not being a fan of kitchen gadgets or knicknacks, and not needing any linens, bedding, curtains, or the like, I had a hard time deciding what to use the gift card on. Until I spotted the Cuisinart ...

Pros: Delicious results

Cons: Not always fully frozen

Review: I bought this product because i wanted to be able to make my own gourmet ice cream . The only negative is that the maker doesn't fully freeze the ingredients. So you sometimes getsomething like a soft service.  As a result, I sometimes put ...

Pros: Easy to operate, Good directions/recipes

Cons: Pain in the butt to clean, Noisy

The Bottom Line: Despite its flaws with noise and cleaning up, the ICE-20 does exactly what it promises and is a sturdy, reliable, wonderful ice cream maker.

Review: So, last year I finally managed to get around to reviewing my Cuisinart ICE-20R ice cream maker. It was a cool appliance, though the bright red (the R on the model number differentiated it) never quite fit my decor. That review was fun (it's still ...
