  • Smooth results and easy to use
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
Great machine for home ice cream making. It freezes quickly, churns consistently, and produces a dense, creamy texture without needing to pre-freeze a bowl. Simple controls, solid build, and easy cleanup. Very happy with it so far.

  • A REALLY GOOD CHOICE
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
After doing quite a bit of research, we finally found the right ice cream maker for us. We wanted something simple—no dealing with ice, pre-freezing bowls, or extra drink-making features we’d never use. (although this unit will make chilled drinks if you want) Just a straightforward, reliable, and easy-to-use machine. And this one fit the bill perfectly. The compact size is a big plus—it sits nicely in the corner of our countertop without taking up too much space. We also appreciate the lower profile (compared to another version of this unit), which makes it easy to leave it tucked under a cabinet and still access it to add or check ingredients. The unit is made up of just three main parts: the lid, stirrer, and bowl. It’s labeled as not dishwasher safe, though we think the plastic parts should be fine on the top rack. As others have noted, the included scoop is the weakest part—not very useful, but understandable given the price point. We can see how a metal scoop might scratch the inside of the bowl, but with a bit of care, a regular scoop or spatula should work fine. We didn’t come across many plastic scoops that were actually usable. Also worth mentioning: the gears that connect the bowl to the machine are plastic rather than metal. Not a huge concern, just something to be aware of. There are no measurement markings inside the bowl, so we filled it with water to just below the mixing blade, then poured that into a measuring cup. That came out to about 6 cups of mixture. The machine defaults to a 60-minute timer, but we discovered that our first half-batch set up in about 30 minutes—so thick the motor actually stopped. Lesson learned for next time! We love ice cream and feel this was a worthwhile investment. Spending a little more upfront got us a better-quality unit. We're really happy with the purchase and excited to try out new recipes. With how expensive store-bought ice cream has gotten, we figure this will pay for itself in one summer! ... show more

  • Best ice cream machine out there.
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
I love this ice cream maker. I used to use the ones you have to keep in the freezer. They take up space in my freezer and don’t work all that well. This ice cream maker is so easy to use, and is great for ice cream, gelato and other frozen treats. Just mix up your flavor, plug in the machine, and you get great ice cream. The bowl and dasher comes out for easy cleaning. I love this ice cream machine! ... show more

  • Worth. EVERY. Penny.
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
This is a fairly expensive appliance. You can make ice cream more cheaply than this. I have the kind that requires you to freeze the bowl. It sort of works. Usually. I have one that uses a semiconductor called a Peltier element to provide its own cooling. It's ok, and if you can't fit this one into your budget, that one is a whole lot better than the frozen bowl method. Then I got this one. There are other compressor models on Amazon that are cheaper. I honestly can't tell you anything about them. They may be every bit as good as this one; I simply don't know. What I can tell you about this one without reservation or hesitation is that, based on my experience, this ice cream maker is worth every. single. penny. This ice cream maker is amazing. It will make 2.1 quarts at a time although I'm experimenting with different recipes so I haven't gone for volume yet. I get a quart of ice cream in about 45 minutes and frozen yogurt in about 35 minutes. The machine can detect when the mixture is too thick to churn and then goes into a cooling-only mode. This feature is invaluable. From everything I've read, all of the ice cream makers produce a mixture that is in a "soft serve" state. You can certainly eat it at that point, but if you want it firmer than that you need your freezer to take it the rest of the way. This phase is critical to the texture and finish of the end product. The ice cream already has tiny little ice crystals in it, and if they stay tiny, it's great. You keep them tiny by dropping the temperature as quickly as possible; a slow drop allows them to grow. At best you would wind up with a grainy texture and at worst you end up with a block of flavored ice. That means you have to get the ice cream from the churning bucket into the coldest part of your freezer (at the bottom in the back) as quickly as you can. The Whynter's cool-only mode buys you time. Time to transfer the mixture from the churning bucket into its container - and for the love of Mike don't use cardboard! You still have to work fast, but at least what's in the bucket isn't warming to room temperature. Beyond that, this unit is very solidly made. It has real buttons as opposed to membrane, there's nothing flimsy on it - even the clear plastic cover is sturdy - and both the compressor and churning motor sound like they're working well within their design limits. I know that last may sound a little odd, but you know how some things that you buy have a whiny or hollow sound and you really wonder if it's going to last? This doesn't have that; it just _sounds_ well made. And on that topic I was a little surprised at how quiet it is. Since the churning blade is plastic (actually it's probably some sort of nylon affair but I don't know) I'd ordered an extra one of those. It arrived before the machine did, but once I had it in my hands I was fairly certain that the original would never need to be replaced; it's very sturdy as well. The frozen bowl method is a novel idea but is an iffy process at best. After it failed on me a couple of times, I was very frustrated. The semiconductor machine was a nice little stop-off, and I was familiar with the technology so I was willing to give it a go. It may be exactly what you're looking for, but it still just wasn't what I was looking for. I normally kind of stick to the middle of the road, but I was at the point that I was finished with the nonsense and wanted results. I looked at reviews, looked at the Whynter website, decided they know a thing or two about making things cold, and went for it. Again, I can't tell you about other brands, but I am highly impressed with this machine. In two weeks I've produced over two gallons of ice cream a quart at a time and this machine performed flawlessly each time. I'm not a cook, so while mixing some cream and sugar together is well within my wheelhouse, making a custard for a French style ice cream most definitely is NOT. Having confidence that my stress-laden concoction isn't going to be biffed at the end is quite valuable to me. That's why I can tell you that this device is worth it. Every. single. penny. ... show more

  • Unit was DOA, but replaced with minimal hassle.
Size: 2 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
I'm fairly sure I was sent an item that had previously been returned. In unboxing the item, the included ice cream scoop was loose in the bottom of the box. I didn't think anything of it originally, but when the unit wouldn't power up, and I received a replacement, I noticed that the scoop was actually supposed to arrived snugly fitted in the styrofoam packaging. In any case, I was able to return the defective unit and get a working one with minimal hassle (if you don't count having to wrestle with a rather cumbersome large and heavy box). I have only used the unit to make ice cream once so far, but it seems to work well, producing good quality ice cream with easily cleaned components. ... show more

  • Easy to use and no more chilling buckets for 12 hours
Size: 2.1 Quart Color: Stainless Steel
I'm really impressed with the quality of ice cream I can make with this machine! It always comes out with the best creamy texture. The machine is easy to use with clear instructions. The included recipe booklet was a nice bonus. I like that the machine stops churning once the ice cream reaches the right thickness. And the pre-freeze feature helps save time, making the churn process shorter. ... show more
