Description

The Elite Gourmet 4Qt. Old Fashioned Electric Ice Cream Maker churns out delicious homemade ice cream in just minutes. It features a 4-quart heavy duty aluminum canister and a powerful 90-rpm motor, so making ice cream is fast, convenient and fun for the whole family! It’s great for entertaining at family parties, BBQ’s and picnics using all of your favorite ice cream, sorbet, gelato and even frozen yogurt recipes. The motor turns a six-fin paddle that whips air into the ingredients producing a smooth, rich soft serve ice cream. The paddle quickly crushes cookies, fruit, chocolate chips or a variety of other yummy toppings and thoroughly integrates them into the mixture. The old- fashioned Appalachian wood bucket holds ice and rock salt, keeping the canister at the optimal 10°F temperature. All parts conveniently remove for easy cleaning.

  • Good product
Color: Pine
Unit works great motor is powerful enough to make good ice cream. Motor has a feature that it will shut off when ice cream gets too thick to turn. Also comes with a hand crank system so you can make ice cream by hand. Cleans real easy, a little bit noisy side but hey your not making ice cream indoors. ... show more

  • Pretty good Hand Crank
Color: Pine
Its the classic ice cream maker, hand crank, directions are clear, anyone can use it! It also has a motor but I was more interested in the hand crank for it, love the product!

  • Works as described
Color: Pine
Works great. Bought this because of the hand crank on it because sometimes you don't always have electricity where you want to make ice cream. First batch I made was pineapple custard and only had it going for about 30 minutes and then put it in the freezer to finish freezing. The motor turns the bucket only and the hand crank turns the bucket one way and the beater the other way. The wooden bucket does leak a lot. Hopefully within time of use use the boards expand enough for it not to leak but doubt it. Looks like it will hold up for many years of ice cream making. ... show more

  • Simple to use
Color: Pine
I bought this for our 4th of July. It was a total hit. This one came with the hand crank and a motorized crank. We make Ice cream all the time now.

  • Not Elite, Not Gourmet — Just a Waste of Money!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Color: Pine
I purchased the Elite Gourmet brand ice cream maker in August of 2022 and have only used it five times, four if count using the motor. After the second use, the nameplate fell off, and the metal around the bucket was already coming loose. That should have been a warning sign, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt since that was mostly cosmetic. By the fifth use, the motor stopped working. The power light came on, but the motor would not run. I had to churn the ice cream by hand, and then the handle broke off while doing that! I only make ice cream once or twice a summer, so this unit was barely used. My previous machine lasted 18 years — this one failed after just a few light uses across three summers. Also, It arrived in a plain brown box with no instructions. I knew how to use it, but the lack of basic documentation felt careless and cheap. I now see many reviews mentioning motor failure, and I can confirm: THEY ARE VALID!!! In summary, there is NOTHING “Elite” about this product! It is overpriced, poorly built, and completely unreliable. I regret not returning it sooner. Actually, I regret giving my money for this product. Save your money. Buy something else. ... show more

  • Easy to use, easy to clean up
Color: Pine
We’ve made homemade ice cream before, but never with a machine. After watching a video, we quickly learned how to use it; while the written instructions were fine, I find videos more helpful. The manual option was fun the first time, but we’ve been making a lot of ice cream lately so we now just set it up and walk away. The inner container has plenty of space for a large batch. My kids and I have had fun experimenting with various flavors and techniques, sometimes even on the same day. So far we’ve made vanilla, cookies and cream, strawberry, and salted caramel. With multiple uses and different recipes, we've had no issues, and once we figured out the setup for the first batch the rest for quick and easy. Cleaning the inner container is easy (and it’s not heavy, so not an issue when full), allowing us to make a few batches of ice cream without needing to refreeze the container again. The outer bucket has some weight but isn’t really heavy which is a plus when you’re trying to clean out the salt, ice, and water. A lot of use and everything has held up just fine. I expected us to use this as an occasional thing, but since it’s been easy to use we’ve been using it regularly. I’m looking into ice cream containers so we can store a few big batches. ... show more

  • Old Fashion, the way it is suppoed to be
Color: Pine
We have had an ice cream make like this for a very long time and ours finally broke. We could have gone with a more modern or fancy one but we believe ice cream made in these tastes better and it is more fun to do as a family. We see the other ones where it is one person in the kitchen doing it. For us this is a family event and activity. The quality of this one is a better than our old one and works amazingly. In hindsight we should have bought it sooner and will probably buy another one soon. We used to make the kids agree on the first flavor to make and for the cost of another machine, the battle wasn't worth it. I would highly recommend this one!! ... show more
