I also like it because we don't have to pre-freeze a bowl (in the freezer that is already full of frozen food)

In other words, it chills the mixing bowl itself

This model seems quieter in running that the other Whynter model and zi like the stainless steel bowl.

The bowl is very easy to remove and clean.

I purchased this item new and while unboxing it and preparing it for use, I noticed some slightly dirty components (the bowl, the churn blade)

It’s so nice to not have to pre-freeze bowls anymore

Just clean the bowl, dry it thoroughly (so it doesn't freeze stuck to the unit) and turn it on.

I always see things about freezing the bowl 24 hours etc but with this

Qt Compressor machine with stainless steel bowl.

Although cleaning the bowl, dasher and top are not recommended in a dishwasher, we found that the parts were very easy to clean with just a swish in warm soapy water right after the ice cream had been removed

This is only machine I found where you did not have to freeze the inside bowl in order to use

While the capacity of the stainless steel bowl is 2.1 quarts, the ingredients will often become ice cream before increasing volume to that level

Love not having to freeze a bowl to make ice cream anymore

Stainless steel bowl is a must have.

Do not heat higher than 180°F.Remove from heat, stir, and pour custard into the cooling bowl

My inexpensive one I've had for fifteen years that you have to freeze the bowl first works better than this heap of junk

The User Interface is not 100% intuitive (at least to me) when it comes to continuing to chill the bowl without mixing.

It is still the only IC with Stainless Steel bowl and it makes the largest quantity of ice cream of any maker on the market in this price range

Okay, this is pricier than your standard ice cream maker because this one has a compressor, meaning there’s no need for ice or freezing a bowl or even chilling the mixture.

over-night’ kind made good ice cream without the mess, but you either had to keep the bowl ready in your freezer, (taking up room), or remember to freeze the bowl a minimum of 24 hours before you thought of making ice cream

No ice, no salt, no pre-freezing bowls!

Simply not having to pre-freeze the bowl makes it a winner

Bonus, the upright comes with the stainless bowl instead of the aluminum

Still lukewarm, what the hey, I put the bowl in the machine, pushed one button and OH WAH LAH LAH... fresh delicious vanilla ice cream ready in 1 hour

With that said, I love the convenience of not having to freeze a bowl overnight

Love the stainless bowl

the stainless steel mixing bowl and all the accessories (at their request) and the UPS shipping was $93.00 which was hard to swallow but what made it a little more

was they sent a new unit as stated with a new stainless bowl ($70.00) to buy another one to make more than one batch at a time
