    Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker, Silver, 1-1/2-Quart

    • Also, right after when cooling began the crazy loud noise continued
    • The noise is not unbearable
    • The noise is really not bad but the machine is portable enough that moving it another room isn't a bad idea
    • Warning - this Ice Cream Maker (ICM) can make a little noise
    • but then it started and extremely LOUD ear curdling squealing noise.
    • As a postscript, after about 4 months, the ice cream maker started making a very loud squeeling noise when the ice cream was in process and posing resistance to the turning paddles
    • Much less mess and noise with traditional ice cream makers
    • I was leery about the ones that concerned ice cream not freezing in the middle of the batch and also reviews that mentioned loud noises or squealing
    • The problem is that the noise is relentless -- it's not that loud, but after 20 or 25 minutes you've really had enough!
    • There is a small noise factor, but not too bad
    • I used the new one last weekend and upon the first use, it made the exact same loud squeealing noise.
    • If you add to these a lot of squeaking noise I said no more
    • Again the noise isn't a critical issue for me, but it is the only really noticeable issue I have with this machine.--------Update 5/26/2013:I have done well over half a dozen quarts of ice cream now without any issues, most of them back to back

    • The noise doesn't bother me anymore, and by keeping everything cooler, I no longer make a big mess on the counter.
    • The noise issue:
    • Not an annoying noise like a blender, but loud enough that you wouldn't want to gather around the ice cream maker and chat if you could help it
    • Noise: this is a mildly annoying machine noise -- about the sound of a good stand mixer.
    • The machine make a loud screeching noise which is VERY irritating.
    • On our third use, motor starting making horrible noise and quit working.
    • Made a loud grinding noise about half way through the cycle.
    • Noise is not bad, could be quieter
    • The noise from this machine will not hinder your hearing your wife's incessant nagging, or the smoke alarm while she's burning dinner
    • The colder the machine gets the louder the noise becomes.
    • I have made home made ice cream for years with the cheap o$20 ones where you need ice cream salt and a motor churns it in a bucket of freezing water
    • My husband bought this, and at first I grumbled
