Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker with Compressor ICE-100A

Unreliable – Still having issues. After sales service is unsatisfactory. Have to send the machine to NSW (at no cost to me) to be assessed, repaired or replaced. I wanted my money back. After reading more reviews I don’t trust the machine. For the cost I expected it would be able to make great ice cream. Show details

Absolutely LOVE it!!! – This machine has exceeded my expectations in spades! So quick and simple to whip up amazing icecream without needing to freeze a bowl overnight as you do with the models which don’t have their own compressor. Simple to use, easy to clean, just love this machine to bits! I’ll never buy icecream again! Show details

Makes great ice cream! – This is one of my favourite kitchen appliances. The ice cream recipes are easy to follow and I've made delicious vanilla and chocolate custard-style ice creams so far based on the recipe book that comes with the appliance. It's quite easy to reduce sugar and there are no nasty additives and preservatives in home-made ice cream. It's a little… Read more

time consuming as the custard mix needs to stay in the fridge overnight for the flavours to develop but the churning usually only takes about 40 minutes. Best to keep an eye on the mixture when churning in case you have overfilled the container - you don't want it spilling into the machine. I usually put a little less cream and milk in to avoid overfilling. Once churning the ice cream is best after a couple of hours in the freezer to solidify.

Was ok – I purchased my ice cream maker as Christmas present to myself I have only used it 4 or 5 times and it did work a treat. I went to use it again in early January but it played up it worked ok for about 3 or 4 minutes into its blending cycle and then made really terrible grinding noises. I stopped it to check and make sure I had placed ice cream… Read more

container correctly. Restarted it and again got the grinding noises. Reached and then restarted and it worked ok. I have since been very hesitant to use it. I will give it another go and but it looks like I may have a lemon. Other problem is the zvailabily of ingredients some recipes call for the use of pectin only place I can source it is online and the postage is almost the same as the product.

Fanticetic – Brilliant machine, simple to use and great results every time. I have tried the other type where you have to freeze the bowl and this is absolutely worth the extra cash you'll need to splash- don't even consider any other one just be patient and save up for this one  Show details

Great – Great little ice cream maker, we have this model and a similar Apuro model and much prefer the Cuisinart for the little extra cash. We just ran it for three days straight producing ice cream for our ice cream van and it didn't miss a beat, yet the Apuro would freeze up.

Love it! – We've made about a half-dozen batches of ice-cream and we're delighted. it's easy, fairly quick and we control what goes in. Just milk, cream, a little sugar and flavouring. No preservatives, colouring or salt which are in most commercial ice-creams. We've found that half the amount of sugar suggested by the recipe book is all that is needed.… Read more

Strawberry is the best we've made so far!

It's a little noisy and the mixture is a little soft when finished (but if it were much harder you wouldn't be able to get it out of the bowl!). We also wanted the plain stainless steel finish, rather than the red, which, surprisingly, cost more.

These are very minor negatives. It's a great machine that does what it is designed to do with no fuss and produces great results.

Real, delicious and healthy icecream – I was on the lookout for an ice cream machine with a compressor for the last couple of years. I jumped at the chance when I saw it and can't believe how good it is. easy or complex recipes- they are all DELICIOUS. I have not bought commercial ice cream since November 2013. My kids can eat as much as they want because it's ALL NATURAL and I know… Read more

what's in it. I would have made over 20litres of ice cream over the summer. everyone that tastes it can't believe how creamy and flavoursome it is. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, mango, choc mint- all scrumptious. You can eat it freshly churned after about 45 mins- it's that real silky soft gelato. The recipe book is excellent. Easy to clean. Do yourself a favour and invest in your health with this machine. Big thumbs up! Can eat icecream straight after a churn Nothing.

Awesome – Have had my new best friend for 2 months now and what a fantastic product !!!!! I use it every day and if you want to take chemicals and other junk well this baby is the answer. LOVE IT. I am so fussy when it comes to ice cream and would only ever purchase that. Well now comparing ice cream from my own ingredients my previous favorite brand of ice cream no longer has a place in my freezer
