Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker with Compressor ICE-100MRA

Brilliant. Amazing ice cream every time – This ice cream machine has not failed me yet and I am so happy I bought it. The ice cream comes out smooth and creamy in usually far less than 60 minutes. The recipe book that comes with it is also very useful. Don't buy a cheaper version. This is the best investment I've made in ages. Everyone who has tried the ice cream from this machine says "wow, you should open an ice cream shop!". It really genuinely tastes like something you bought in a gelateria.

The only thing I don't like about it is the cheap plastic cover that sits over the bowl. It doesn't attach properly and the flip opening keeps falling off too. I just perch the cover on top of the bowl when the ice cream is churning and hope that it's doing something useful. But again, despite the rubbish cover, this machine produces awesome results every time.

Note: it's pretty noisy. I only turn it on when everyone is still awake.

Great machine – I had the earlier model of this ice cream maker with compressor and it was not a patch on the new machine. The machine is quiet, fast and churns well. It is easy to clean and a very sturdy machine. Churning time for about a litre of ice-cream is around 35 minutes. I highly recommend it. Quiet, fast, churns well none
