Kitchen & Housewares : Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream Makers
Rating: 
- Easy to use and clean, very noisy
This ice cream maker seems well-designed, is easy to clean, compact, has a cord storage compartment in back, and it works as described. It makes about 1 quart though, not 1 1/2. More than a quart of unfrozen liquid will expand beyond the capacity during the freezing process and overflow, making a big mess. The motor is also very noisy, so much so I thought there was something really wrong with it the first time we used it, but because it works fine, we think it's just a noisy appliance. The noise level increases as the mixture thickens during freezing so it's probably normal. I wouldn't use it if anyone in the house were trying to sleep!

- Easiest ever ice cream, sorbet, sherbet or gelato!
No salt, no ice, no fuss, no muss! Easy clean-up! Scrumptious ice cream, sorbet, sherbet or gelato after 30 minutes in the machine. Consistency of bought ice cream after 2 hours in the freezer. No guar gum and carrageenan like most store bought ice cream--can use local fresh fruit for flavor. Keep the gel tub in the freezer and make ice cream on a whim! Enjoy!

I bought this ice cream maker for my dad for Father's Day and then decided to buy one for my husband too. We have made two different kinds of ice cream since getting it --Cookies and Cream and Strawberry Cheesecake. Both ice creams turned out great! When you first make the ice cream, it is a little like soft serve. The kids enjoyed it this way. But after keeping the ice cream in the freezer for a few hours, we were able to dip it for ice cream cones. My only recommendation is that you buy the extra freezer cylinder with it. The recipe that I had for the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream made 3 quarts, so we had to wait until the cylinder froze again before making the second batch.
Rating: - Excellent Ice Cream Maker
True ice cream officionados may scoff at making ice cream without using rock salt but I have found this machine to be very reliable and great fun. It is the ideal machine to use with children - of any age. I have not been one bit disappointed with my purchase.
Rating: - Perfect machine
Bought this machine for a friend a few years ago since he had begun cooking a little and wanted to venture more into desserts. I ended up using the machine more than him when we moved in together, and have now picked up ice cream making as a major hobby of mine. This machine is great for small batches of tasty ice cream. The only complaint I would have is the loud whirring noise the machine makes when in use, however this is common in all ice cream machines I have seen. A major step up from the old hand-crank system. Plus it's Cuisinart, so you know it will last you a lifetime.
Recommendation: For people wanting to make ice cream more frequently, buy an additional freezing canister. It takes at least 24 hours to re-freeze, so the in between time for a few batches can be quite a bit.
