This model almost defeats the purpose of having a review section because it’s pretty much everything you’re going to need wrapped up in one package. This is a perfect beginner machine but it can be used by pros to really bring their favorite recipes to life as well. It’s extremely easy to use, and fun too! This is the first model I purchased when I decided to start up this site and it’s still the one I use the most for my everyday ice cream making. I have to say that Cuisinart has cornered the market here with a perfectly affordable model that anyone can use. There’s nothing particularly fancy about it, but it’s simplicity and straightforward approach are its strengths. To put it simply, if you don’t want to read any more reviews, it’s a safe bet to go with this ice cream maker – it won’t disappoint.

If you’ve never owned an ice cream maker before, or you have absolutely no clue what is involved in the process, this particular machine is the perfect place to start. It comes with an instruction booklet that will show you the basic steps in addition to a handy recipe book that will give you a nice start. You don’t have to mess around with a lot of unnecessary bits and pieces, and after a while you’ll come to understand how all of the parts work together. It has the capability of producing 2 quarts of your favorite ice cream delights, which is usually enough for a regular sized family. Thanks to the easy mixing and pouring process, it shouldn’t take you more than half an hour for you to whip up a batch of ice cream. Also remember, you’ll have the ability to produce sorbet and frozen yogurt as well. I’m not a huge fan of sorbet or frozen yogurt, but the health nuts in your family will appreciate that option.

Cuisinart has managed to make an extremely user-friendly machine that puts you in touch with every stage of the process. You are able to see all of the ingredients meld together as it begins to form ice cream. It’s nice to be able to turn on the throttle or pull back a bit depending on how consistent or smooth you want your product to be. You are given a powerful motor that essentially does all the work, but you have the ability to add a bit of finesse to your ice cream making process as well. This is also the perfect machine for people who love to add extra as such as nuts, berries, or mixed pieces of fruit.

Cleaning is a breeze and each major part comes off easily to make it simple. Just make sure that you clean after each ice cream making session so that you can maintain this product properly. On anesthetic level, it’s a nifty looking device and it sure to attract a lot of attention from anyone who sees it. It’s the perfect thing to bring over for a neighborhood barbecue to show off, and the kids are going to have a blast helping you make ice cream as well. So yeah, what else can I say? This is a great ice cream maker and my first overall choice!

If you want something a little bit less expensive, you can also choose the Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker. It’s pretty much the same thing except it only makes one and a half quarts at a time as opposed to two.
