I read all the reviews - some are quite thorough and quite helpful - and decided to purchase this model. I am still trying to get the hang of it, but it is an enjoyable adventure! Cuisinart is a well-made, reliable product. The ice cream maker works as designed and is quieter than other models. There are some things to get used to and you can't take short cuts. Follow the recipes and read the reviews and you'll get the hang of it. Highly recommend this product.

This product works great and is easy to use. Just make sure the bowl is frozen for a day or two prior and follow the directions for whatever recipe or mix you're using. Also, the bowl must be hand washed. I got this as a gift for my 12 year old and she loves it.

Fantastic machine. Easy to use/clean. Make sure you keep the metal drum in the coldest part of your freezer and you will have great homemade ice cream in 15-20 minutes

25 min after things are chilled you can enjoy homemade icecream! Very easy! The machine is loud as it works, the only thing I wish they would fix.

I had a Cuisinart ice cream maker (purchased in 2002) and it worked ok but I wasn't in love with it and used it rarely (I donated it when we moved three years ago). Recently, I decided to get another ice cream maker and looked at ones with compressors (Lello $700 and Whynter $300-$400) but for that kind of money how often and how many batches do I really plan on making? After reading the reviews, I decided on this $150 Cuisinart model. It fits nicely in my pantry but not sure why people complain about it being so noisy, it's what I'd expect.The directions for operating and cleaning are easy. Having a 2 qt. capacity is great if you want to throw in some add-in's (chocolate chips, fresh fruit, etc). It makes Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt and Gelato. The on/off switch automatically sets the time depending on your choice but you can add or minus minutes if you choose. Once you are done with your first batch (30-45 minutes) the drum which remains quite cold, gets washed then back in the freezer it goes. It doesn't take but a few hours to re-freeze so if you want to make another batch you're good to go. Gelato is my favored frozen treat and it comes out so creamy.Btw - I recommend a cookbook "The Art of Making Gelato" by Morgan Morano. Both the Biscoff and Apple Pie gelato are amazing!!! One caveat; you will need a good digital scale that shows grams and ounces (Oxo is a good choice). I also recommend using a Tovolo container which is air-tight (as a precaution against ice crystals, I also place a piece of plastic directly on the surface of the gelato but that's just me).Unless you want the convenience of having a compressor I highly recommend this model for the price, ease of use and most importantly, the results!

Works great. Makes delicious ice cream quickly. I used custard recipe which is very creamy.

妻へのプレゼントで購入。美味しいアイスクリームを作ってくれました。甘味料を市販のものより減らしてヘルシーなアイスを作ってくれたり、抹茶の粉末を混ぜたものを作ってくれたりしました。食物アレルギーがあって市販のアイスを食べられない子供にお母さんが材料を工夫して作ってあげるとかできると思うのできっと喜ばれると思います。使いやすさもシンプルで特に問題ないと聞いてますが、中の容器を冷凍庫で冷やしておかないと使えないらしいので、それがまた結構な場所を取るようです。

It may be too early to write a review of this machine since I have only made one batch of ice cream but...1. The ice cream was delicious. I had control over all the ingredients that went into the ice cream. The texture was amazing. I really prefer eating the ice cream right out of the machine instead of hardening it. It tastes amazing.2. The machine worked well. I would prefer to have a machine that had a built-in freezing unit instead of having to put the bowl in the freezer but the cost of such machines are significantly higher. there have been comments about the noise it makes. It is on the loud side but it is not excessive.I do not know about its durability yet but it does the job and makes a fantastic product.

My first home ice cream maker and aside from having a professional soft serve machine in my kitchen (of which exists only in my dreams) this machine is hands down impressing me each and every time. The first machine I ordered was defective in that the countdown timer did not beep when the cycle was done. Amazon exchanged the machine with zero hassle and the one that arrived works perfect.As a vegan, not only are the store bought ice creams extremely expensive, flavor selection limited, and the added gum ingredients always destroy my stomach. Additionally I'm not a fan of carrageenan in my foods.This ice cream maker allows me to use my homemade nut or seed milk, any store bought milk, I can add creamer or not add creamer to keep it lower in fat calories, and the recipes are endless. I've found the consistency of the ice cream depends on what milk type I use (almond, rice, hemp, cashew, soy etc) as well as how much creamer is used. However, the machine has yet to produce bad quality ice cream even if I challenge it with a thinner milk type (i.e. rice milk with no creamer). It consistently produces creamy, fluffy ice cream no matter what the recipe.I can hear the ice cream maker when I'm in the next room. Its not obtrusively loud (slightly louder than my kitchen aid mixer) but the it only needs to be on for a short period of time (ie. 25 minutes for ice cream and longer if your premix has not cooled for a period of time)There have been times when I did not pre-cool my mix and simply added cold milk, tapioca starch with a bit of creamer or coconut cream (other methods require boiling which would automatically need a cool period of a several hours) and the result is still good, but the consistency akin to a milkshake (which I have no problem devouring.)All that being said, speaking for the non-dairy world, its super flexible and turns out creamy fluffy ice cream in a variety of milk types. I have not found it to get rock hard frozen when I transfer it to the freezer. I'm not a fan of rock hard ice cream and like that once I open the container my ice cream is fluffy and ready to eat.Super easy to operate. Literally one button. You employ two buttons if feel you want to increase the churn time.I haven't tried the sorbet setting yet because I was so happy with the ice cream output I couldn't stop making ice cream every day (yikes.) I am now ready to venture into non-dairy sorbets and can report back if anyone is interested.*another reviewer stated their lid does not stay on and they tape it with duck tape. The lid is not designed to lock into a stabilized position. The instruction manual specifically states it is designed to be loose and there are a few reasons as to why. On both of the machines I've had, the lid is only slightly loose - (we're talking about movement of a few centimeters and once the machine starts its unnoticeable.)
