Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic 1-1/2-Quart Ice-Cream Maker, White

Overall, I've really enjoyed this ice cream maker. It works fast and makes really good ice cream, however, for best results I would say the ice cream needs to sit in the bowl, in the freezer over night, otherwise it is slightly too soft and starts to melt fast. Also, I like how the machine comes with a book of tons of recipes. No need to buy a separate recipe book.

I don't usually like all those "extra" small appliances that clutter the cupboards and are seldom used. But I LOVE this one!!! It's easy to use and very easy to clean. Pretty much all I have to do is rinse out the bowl and paddle and stick the bowl back in the freezer. This is a real winner. If you buy this, you might think about buying Marlene Koch's 375 Sensational Splenda Recipes because it contains several recipes for ice cream, sherbet and sorbet - all low fat and low sugar.
PS You DO have to follow the directions for this ice cream maker to work well: Make sure your bowl is completely frozen (24 hrs?) and have it running when you pour in the ice cream mixture.

This is a very simple, but effective gadget. I bought this for my ten year old daughter's birthday and she loves it. Very easy to mix up a batch of about anything...5-10 minutes max. We are on our fourth batch, and have started experimenting. The quality is great, texture somewhat below that of store-bought, but we know every ingredient so it's much healthier. Would recommend it highly.

I bought this to replace a cheaper table top ice cream maker and was very satisfied with it's preformance. I found that it freezes well if you put ice cubes in a bag in it. I made mocha chip ice cream and it was great.

I just purchased this machine from LNT on Tuesday. I put the tub in my deep freeze for 2 days before I even used it. I made just the basic vanilla first (of course!) and it turned out wonderful!!! Just a few hours ago I made the mint chocolate chip and except for the fact that I used too much peppermint it turned out perfect. Just make sure you only use 1 teaspoon of peppermint not the 1 1/2 it says you can use.
I have been using 1% milk and fat free half & half to save myself from gaining 10 lbs. This makes a wonderful ice cream and my husband didn't even know I used the fat free stuff.
I have already got it back in the deep freeze and think I will make strawberry for Sunday.
So glad I finally just got it and I know I will be using this darn thing all the time.
