Customer Response
Honestly now
To read all the 5 star reviews will give you a skewed impression. This machine makes average to poor ice cream. It may make great sorbet but I doubt I'll give it another try after two attempts at chocolate ice cream - the simple kind that tasted like Nesquick [although you use quality powered chocolate] and the more sophisticated custard based chocolate which no one would eat because it looked and tasted like chocolate glop.
Possibly the high end machines for $500+ make great ice cream. This one doesn't. My guess is that this is just another time when you [and all your guests] pretend home-made is better when it plainly isn't.
It is cheaper, faster, and a whole lot better to just buy quality ice cream - isn't something always on sale?
Sound
I just received this product as a gift and using it for the first time. Everything seems great, but the machine is very loud, especially when the directions instruct to let it run for 25minutes. It definitely can't be used when there are others sleeping nearby.
good ice cream maker
This ice cream maker requires freezing the canister for 24 hours before you can make ice cream. I found it a little noisy but it froze my ice cream much faster than my Lello gelato maker that has a refrigeration unit built in. It took 20 minutes to freeze my ice cream. I also like how light it is to move around the counter and how easy it is to clean up.
Its low cost, functional design and simplicity of use make it a great buy.
Cuisinart 2 qt. ice cream maker (pure indulgence)
I am a homemade ice cream lover! I have searched the internet for ice cream makers and reviews of each. After reading about the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2 qt. ice cream maker, I was sold. I am not disappointed either. The quality of the machine is excellent and the product performs as it says it will. Within 30 to 35 minutes I have soft serve ice cream. Freeze what you do not initially eat and it's even better. It's quick, simple, affordable, and absolutely the best ice cream maker I have ever purchased. I have had it about a month now and use it weekly. No more bought ice cream for me, just the purchase of supplies to make my own at home. I've yet to try the sorbet, but that is next on my agenda. If you enjoy homemade ice cream, then buy this product, you'll be glad you did.
Forget the other ice cream makers you've owned!
This is the fourth or fifth ice cream maker I have purchased in the past decade. I always love the idea of homemade ice cream and all of the fun, creativity and freshness it entails- but every ice cream maker I've bought has been a hassle, a mess, a disaster or all of the above!
I was fortunate enough to find this item for a very good price (on sale) and decided to cave in and buy it. I was reluctant because of my previously negative experiences with ice cream makers.
I am so glad I took the chance because I LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine. It is nice looking, well-made and really does a fantastic job at making ice cream! It's a tiny bit noisy, but the result is so worth it- I may never buy store-bought ice cream again. In fact, the only reason I don't make fresh ice cream several times a week is the cost of heavy cream! If I had a dairy cow, I'd be a one-woman Ben and Jerry's!
You will impress your friends, your kids, your spouse, anyone you serve the fruits of this product to- and a great bonus is that the recipe book it comes with actually has really fantastic recipes that make unbelievably good ice cream.
If you are buying an ice cream maker, you cannot go wrong with this one- trust me! It's ice cream perfection!
