It was interesting to read the negative reviews re the design flaw which does not allow for assurance of hygienic washing after use.

This is a bad design flaw, and I don't know why Cuisinart allowed this to happen.

If I could add half a star I'd do that, because it does have a design flaw that wasn't apparent until it was used - the bowl and paddles remove for easy cleaning, but the well where the bowl sits is not completely sealed and doesn't disassemble further than I can find, so any small spills or overfills can result in ice cream getting into cracks of the device where they can't be cleaned out

I would give it 5 stars except for the above design flaw.

This is a major design flaw

Not worth all the time and effort even if the design flaw is corrected.

My husband bought this, and at first I grumbled

So far, my favorite gelato flavors have been Sicilian Crema (tastes like creme brûlée), lemon, pistachio, vanilla, cherry, and peaches

Doesn't freeze as hard as I would like, however placing mix after freezing in freezer for about 1 hour gave it good body

Perfect for the lazy af people who still want to show prowess in the kitchen.- super easy to use- super easy to CLEAN- makes ice cream smooth as

This item freezes as it stirs.

Also the ICE-100 doesn't freeze as to the soft serve stage so you have to let the ice cream harden in the freezer for at least a couple hours

Advantage of the ICE-100 is you can use it continuously over and over to freeze as much as you want, whereas the pre-freezable unit is a one-time use then need to refreeze for ~24 hours
