  • Excellent Ice Cream in Less than an Hour!
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
This works great! It is quick and easy to use, fairly quiet and makes delicious, smooth ice cream in an hour or less! It is also easy to clean. The best part is that it doesn't require freezing any components.

  • Fantastic-why didn't I start making homemade before now?
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
I've had mine for a couple of weeks too, and I think it's fantastic. A couple of things- -- I know it shows in the manual that the mixture should not go above these things on each side of the churner, BUT I found it better be a half inch BELOW that. It still gets on the underside of the plastic cover as it churns, but then at least it keeps the mix a bit lower and stops any chance of overflowing the bowl. I actually think it wouldn't matter anyway as the bowl seems to sit in a pretty tightly gasketed ring, so maybe I'm being overly cautious. Either way, I'm still quite happy to get 2 Qts (4 pints) of really good ice cream instead of the 2.5 Qts it claims to make. To get the most actual ice cream out of it, add any mix-ins (choco chips, nuts etc) into it AFTER it has finished freeze churning. When it's done churning, it is soft serve consistency... so I turn it out into a big bowl, THEN I mix in the mix ins (gently so as not to incorporate a lot of ice crystal forming air into it). Then I pack it in pint containers tightly, (using the handy plastic flat spatula thing that came with the machine), cover with a circle of parchment paper against the top of the ice cream, and put them all away in the freezer at least overnight. --- If your ingredients are cold (should not be frozen) when they go into the churn bowl, it can take substantially less time than the 60 minute timer is set to default for. If you come back in 60 minutes and the machine is not still churning, it has probably stopped churning and already gone into 'just chill' mode. This will make it more difficult to get the churn bowl out. That plastic spatula thing that comes with the machine is handy here. First try to hold the handle on both sides of the bowl close to the bowl's top (instead of at the top of the handle) at both of the handle's hinges. Try to pull straight up wiggling a tiny bit. If your churning stopped minutes before and it went into keep cold mode, that bowl will be really tightly held to the frozen sides of the machine. Take the flat spatula thing and (GENTLY) put it between the very top of the bowl and the side of the machine it's against (BUT ONLY about 1/4 inch down!!) and move it back and forth. It will sort of break a vacuum hold. Do it 4 or 5 more times in different places around the bowl and then try again to pull it up. Just be careful not to jam that thing down too far or back and forth to hard. This has always worked for me with no apparent damage to anything. Most of my ice cream recipes include 2 TBS of some kind of liqueur (raspberry, hazelnut, coffee, cherry etc) which will help it from getting so rock hard. It shouldn't be added until the last few minutes of churning, as it can affect the freezing too early) OR after churning and after it's gone into another bowl to add mix ins to, before packing (my preferred method). Commercial ice cream has up to 25 percent more air whipped into it- more money for the manufacturers for less actual product- which makes it more 'fluffy' and also less hard in storage. You can leave the liqueur out of course- either way your homemade will be more dense (more flavorful if you ask me). As to the hardness- 2 things can help- keep it in a freezer that's part of your fridge as opposed to an upright or chest type freezer. Or.... don't worry about any of it, and just leave the pint out on the kitchen counter to soften a tad, for 10 minutes, before you dig in. OR dig it out when rock hard, put in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds or so. You really can't go too wrong, right? The very few recipes that come with the machine (in the manual) are pretty useless to me (for the egg reason). I went on their web site but couldn't even find any there. I got 5 books from Amazon for ice cream recipes (and sorbets, sherbets, etc). Since I make egg free ice creams only (since 'custard-style' recipes are WAY TOO MUCH work with the cooking and tempering the eggs with the dairy), I have found only one book that has more great egg free (also known as 'Philadelphia style') recipes. That was the 'Perfect Scoop' by David Lebovitz. Very nice book, great recipes, great photos. A favorite recent recipe I made was Peach, Vanilla, Pecan ice cream- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk; 1 pint (16 oz) of half and half; 3 cups of uncooked peach puree made from unpeeled (but washed), pitted & chopped peaches pureed in a bowl using an immersion blender; 1 TBS vanilla; 2 TBS raspberry liqueur (added along with the nuts AFTER it came out of the churning bowl into another bowl before packing); 1 cup chopped pecans. I'm sorry to say I don't remember how much this made (ounce wise), or whether I might have also added al cup of whole milk to it also. But the combo of sweetened condensed milk, half and half and whole milk is a great EASY way to get ice cream fast. For chocolate= instead of the peaches- add 4-5 TBS dutch process (dark, european-style) cocoa and 1/4 cup of hersheys syrup, with 2 teaspoons of vanilla, to the dairy combo. Instead of nuts, add in (after freezing & churning and turning out into another bowl) 1/2 to a cup of mini chocolate chips and instead of raspberry liqueur add 2 TBS of Kalua (coffee liqueur) either a few minutes at the end of churning, or with the chips. Don't be afraid to TASTE the mix before you freeze/churn it!! There are no eggs so it's safe to taste- it can then be most to your liking (less vanilla etc). I must say this taller machine fits much better in my kitchen than the wider would. It is quite heavy (as all compressor machines are), so it's not something you want to put on a lower shelf to pull up to the counter to use. But all summer long, this sucker will be sitting on my counter and will be keeping me in ice cream heaven. It appears to be well made, quiet enough when in use, easy to clean, easy to use and I only need to make 16 batches of 4 pints each to pay for itself (our favorite was 5$ a pint before). I think this machine will have no trouble managing that (certainly better than my husband and I can manage eating it all- so it's been a great summer gift to friends !!) ... show more

  • Terrific and convenient ice cream maker
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
Third time was the charm! I purchased two Whynter ice cream makers through Amazon and neither worked - the first (model ICM-200LS) had a faulty touchpad and couldn’t turn on; the second (ICM-201SB) turned on fine but the compressor didn’t get cold so the mixture never froze. Both times I contacted customer support, and both times they had me take the machine apart to look for loose connections. Nothing loose, so I returned them. Whynter then sent me a third machine directly (the 201SB) (didn’t go through Amazon) and it worked beautifully. Gets cold quickly, churns great, and makes terrific ice cream. The noise level seems appropriate for what it’s doing. It’s easy to clean, as well. I definitely recommend the product, but suggest buying from another retailer. Whatever Amazon is doing to store the machines seems to be causing problems. ... show more

  • Excellent Ice Cream Maker, Stop using the salt and ice bucket method.
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
Makes beautiful ice cream, made our first half gallon last evening with cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and egg yolks. We mixed for about 1 hour and it was a smooth, creamy consistency and light and fluffy because it was all heavy cream. The cooling feature kept it cool while we had our main dish and then it was ready to eat for dessert. Easy to clean, took the mixing bowl and paddle out, rinsed and placed in the dishwasher and they came out clean, parts are dishwasher safe. So easy to use, we look forward to using it a lot this summer. ... show more

  • Well-made machine, smaller footprint, easy to use, makes smooth, delicious ice cream.
Size: 1.28 Quart Color: White
I am having a ball using this machine. I've had a freezer bowl ice cream maker before and switching to a compressor ice cream machine has been a great decision. it is easy to use and it makes just enough ice cream. And if it isn't enough ice cream, I can make more a few minutes later. The machine doesn't take up a lot of space. It will shut off if the motor is running for too long (making 2-3 batches consecutively, for instance) to avoid overheating. It also shuts off when the ice cream gets too thick for the dasher. this happened to me and it didn't take long to cool down. I am grateful for this feature as i haven't yet figured out how long to churn a particular recipe. I don't worry about damaging the machine. This ice cream maker is well made. it looks great. The mixer bowl is solid. it has a chill feature. It feels durable and it's not loud. You get about 2 and a half Ben & Jerry pints out of it. I've only made custard ice cream so far. I have no regrets. Basic custard ice cream recipe 5 egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup full fat milk, dash of salt,1 T vanilla. Adjust to your liking (I like to add an additional 1/2 cup milk). You can find full instructions on YouTube. I suggest a thermometer to help with tempering and cooking the eggs. Don't worry, it's easy. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Best ice cream investment ever! DO IT!!!
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
We are serious ice cream makers. We have been using a 6 qt White Mountain with a motor for years, and a 3 qt hand cranker before that. We even make our own sugar cones, that is how serious we are about our ice cream habit. After years of wanting one of these internal compressor units, doing all the research we decided on this Whynter ICM-201SB. We have had it for 2 weeks and have made 4 batches of ice cream. We absolutely love this unit. We do use modernist pantry perfect ice cream stabilizer so we heat a portion of our base to 180 to activate the stabilizers. We then ad the reaming base ingredients cold, which brings the base down to about 90 deg F. We are putting the 90 degree base into the unit and it takes about 1 hr and 15 mins to get an ice cream ready for curing in the freezer. We made the first batch with a cool base and it only took 1 hr. We could not be more please at the ease of use. It is surprisingly quite with a dull humming as it operates. I deducted a star because it does stop churning sooner than I would like because of the resistance on the motor, which probably could be stronger. We are very happy with our purchase despite needing a slightly longer cure time after churning. This fast and easy to clean unit is allowing us to explore making way more flavors. We are excited to continue our ice cream making adventures with this Whynter ICM-201SB ... show more

  • Great Ice Cream Maker with Great Customer Service
Size: 1.28 Quart Color: White
It took me a couple of years to decide on buying the machine and I wish I hadn't hesitated for so long. I've made multiple batches of ice cream since receiving it and they've all been delicious and creamy. Everything from standard chocolate gelato to vanilla, banana butter pecan, peach and pistachio. I'm looking forward to summer for cantaloupe or lemon sorbet. More flavors to follow I'm sure. I'm allergic to soy and almost all commercial ice cream makers use gums derived from soy or guar gum which is a close relative of soy and can cause digestive issues. Now that I have my own machine I have total control over the ingredients so I can safely eat ice cream made with fresh organic ingredients , soy and gum free. My family has been thrilled with the ice cream too. The machine is small enough to store in the pantry and move to the counter when needed, it runs quietly and finishes in an hour or less. On top of that it's very easy to clean, I can't ask for more. I found Wynter's customer service to be excellent. When I first got the machine I had a small issue. I contacted the company asking for advice and spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable woman who resolved my issue immediately. No fuss no muss. ... show more
