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

    • This was my husband's father's day gift last year and all I have to say is: Awesome!This little thing has been amazing
    • The issue, the thing squeaked loudly for 40 minutes.
    • We love this thing.
    • My favorite things in the kitchen.
    • Yes, you are limited to only one quart at a time, but that means you can change flavors every time, so that's not a bad thing
    • This thing is so COOL
    • The only thing I would caution users about is to be careful not to overfill the container as the mixture rises quite a bit as it freezes and if it goes over will compromise the motor assembly underneath.
    • and I have no idea how to clean the thing
    • I can not say enough good things about it!
    • The only thing I don't care for is removing the churned ice cream from the bowl, but it's all worth it in the end.
    • I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing ice cream maker
    • This thing is WAY better than the kitchen aid we had on our mixer.
    • Which is a Good Thing
    • Works great and such a wonderful thing to make batch after batch when you have a crowd
    • Works great and such a wonderful thing to make batch after batch when you have a crowd
    • it works great,,, it looks like it starts slow,,, but at minute 30 things change,,,, thank you,, I love my purchase
    • Another thing to be aware of is that if you opt to leave the mixture in the machine for the full 60 minutes, the bucket may well be frozen in place, making it impossible to remove it for scraping your ice cream out
    • I have made and eaten more ice cream and frozen desserts than I have in years by owning this (and that is not necessarily a bad thing).
    • You can re-do some things, like a sorbet, if it turns out you want to adjust something.
    • It's the next best thing to having an ice cream parlor in your own house.
    • One thing for sure, the basic vanilla ice cream is awesome, smooth, creamy.
    • The only thing I could have done any better was to really crush up the raspberries better.
    • We love this thing so much we bought one for our friends
    • The one thing it' seems be lacking is a an alarm to signal the time to add mix-ins.
    • One of my really favorite things to make are the sorbets.
    • Maybe it’s a good thing that chalkboards aren’t used as much
    • This thing is great for making ice cream or gelato.
    • Awesome, awesome, and awesome!I love this thing.
    • Cons - expensive - more wishful thinking, we all want good things for cheap ;-)
    • And then you have to wait for the whole thing to melt before you can clean the container, making a third batch completely impossible.7
    • If you are smart and chill (not in the freezer), it will improve things, but if the mix is already room temp (and we're talking 72-78 degrees here), then it could go right in and the device will do the rest (it will just take longer)
    • This happened after 2 batches of ice cream, and now I've got to take the thing apart to clean it, again
    • It's so easy to use and I love that I dont have to freeze the bucket thing beforehand
    • I can't say enough good things about this machine
    • Only thing we're trying to master is the best way to clean the ice cream off the beater, but we will persevere.
    • *I love this thing
    • Was given to me and my girlfriend as a Christmas gift and this thing is incredible
    • Unless you want to spend the money on a commercial ice cream maker for your home, then this is the next best thing.
    • The only thing i didn't like was that i could only make a pint at a time.
    • The hardest thing about making ice cream in the ICE-100 is staying out of the ice cream while waiting for the final freezing
    • But the nice thing about the maker is that after a batch is done, wait 10 minutes and then you can make another batch.
    • Love this thing
    • I made the Maple Walnut ice cream in Lebovitz's book and waited until 2 minutes before the cycle ending to add the "wet walnuts" per the recipe, however, I was having trouble getting the sticky, gooey things through the chute in the lid, so I paused the machine for maybe a minute or so to remove the lid and add the nuts directly to the ice cream.
    • On the plus side, the things that I've made so far are quite delicious and the machine functions as advertised
    • This thing is amazing.
    • Honestly this thing is great
    • n’t take a chance on this device, it wont work and Cuisinart wont back up their device.
    • My husband bought this, and at first I grumbled
