"Everyone is loving the ice cream!" 2010-06-01
By Liz (Shelton, CT)
Unfortunately, the cover to the machine is already broken. IT is very awkward to get the pieces to fit properly. When I tried to put the plastic cover on, two pieces snapped off. The machine is noisy but makes delicious ice cream. It's not hard to do either. After it is processed, it definitely needs to go in the freezer for a few hours otherwise I find it to be too soft.

  
"A little fix for the loose motor arm" 2010-05-20
By T. Dushole (No. Va.)
While I agree with most of the positive remarks from other reviewers, I too was bothered by the apparent loose connectivity of the motor arm. I remedied this with a simple elastic strap with plastic coated flat hooks that I secure to the compressor motor vents. If you keep an ear peeled to the operation sounds, you will hear the motor reverse it's direction when the product begins to stiffen up. Then remove it and store in the freezer to harden up.(after mixing in any additives like fruit & nuts) I've made up custard mix in advance, refridgerated overnight, taken a bunch of different additives, and shown up at parties and picnics with the maker. Allowing people to make their own soft serve ice cream creations has always been the hit of the party, and resulted in a number of subsequent purchases of the machine. All year long it's one of the favorite machines in my kitchen.


  
"Good quality and value for money spent." 2010-04-19
By S. MCCORMICK (Kirriemuir, AB, Canada)
This machine performs as advertised. I don't have a lot to add to the existing reviews, but I'd like to highlight the following items after a year of using this machine to make two or three batches of ice cream per week:

1. It truly is noisy as hell. This is the only complaint I have about it. We put it in the spare room while it's running so we don't have to listen to it.

2. Never fill the churning bowl less than 1/3 full and never more than 1/2 full. Less than 1/3 full, the ice cream freezes to the churning paddle and rotates inside the bowl. More than 1/2 full and the machine shuts down prematurely before enough air has been churned into the product. We get the best results when we split a batch into two separate churns rather than trying to fit everything into the bowl and only churn once.

3. The recipes that come with the machine are horrid -- Google is your friend here. Look for the egg custard based recipes, they taste the best.

If not for the noise, I would have given the machine 5 out of 5 stars. We've owned ours for a year this month and it's been a trooper.

By J. Dow (California)
Crappy, worked once so loud we couldn't stand it, then it never worked again.Can't get anyone to repair whatever is wrong with it, Cuisinart doesn't want to deal with it, bought from Cutlery and More, their phone number doesn't work, it sucks.I'm going to throw it away or use it for a boat anchor!Had only ONE very expensive cup of Ice cream.very frustrating!
