"Better than expected" 2010-07-28
By N. Black (Charleston SC)
Bought this item before reading reviews. It took about 4 min. But it produced enough ice for 2 snow cones.However, I am going to try my food processor with the coleslaw blade.Hamilton Beach 68055 Ice Shaver, Black

  
"Other Appliances work better" 2010-06-12
By L. SIMPSON (NC)
Boy was I dissapointed in this "dedicated" machine. I've been making snow cones using my food processor with the cole salw disc and it turns out that it does as good as or better than this thing. My blender makes much better shushies than this one. You would think that a devise that is intended for one thng only could do it well. Turns out that you probably already have something that will do it as well or better. Mine is ging back!!

"Completely useless" 2010-06-08
By Rudy Castle (NY USA)
I purchased this item along with the snow cones cups and three syrup flavors. I had four kids waiting for snow cones. I read the manual, which was straightforward, placed ice in the chamber and turned it to snow cone. It spun around and around and around but it did not shave the ice. The troubleshooting section of the manual suggested reconfiguring the ice. So I moved the cubes around and went for round 2. It sill wouldn't shave the ice. I tried three different style cubes - the ones made by my fridge (crescent), cubed ice (from ice cube trays) and bagged ice (hollow pellets). None of the ice would shave.Only then did I read the reviews on Amazon to discover that this was design issue which most other people had experienced.Long story short - no snow cones and four disappointed kids.Do not, I repeat, do not buy this product. It would be better to take the $20, buy 100 razors, and sit the shave the ice by hand.

  
"Bought from Walmart -- Returned to Walmart" 2010-02-17
By Evan J. Carroll (Kingwood, TX USA)
Worst Hamilton Beach product thus far, and that says a lot. This machine is completely incapable of shaving your typical half-circle ice cube. And with crushed as (as from a blender) it gets stuck.

  
"Great for the price" 2010-01-19
By Robert Spring (Westminster, MD)
You can't beat it for the price. I like that you can put the ice in it and walk away while it grinds. If you have very large cubes though, you will have difficulty.

Panasonic BH-941P Ice Cream Maker

Product By Panasonic(77 customers reviews)

Product Description

Panasonic BH-941P, battery operated, 1.5 pint capacity. Makes delicious ice cream in 3 easy steps. Works automatically in the freezer.

Amazon.com Review

Tidy, cordless, and easy to put into action, this Panasonic ice cream maker is a refreshing alternative to its hulking all-in-one countertop cousins. Though it requires more steps than the models where you throw in ingredients and go, this little maker is both smart and efficient, making up to 3 cups of ice cream or sorbet in a few hours. Combining a stainless steel bowl and a battery-powered mixing unit, the appliance features a dual-fin stirring spatula to thoroughly mix ingredients during freezing. A microprocessor gauges the consistency of the dessert as it hardens, so no monitoring is necessary. The battery pack is compact and removable, and the other components feel sturdy and well designed.
Included with the ice cream maker is a clear step-by-step instruction guide and a colorful booklet of recipes to get you started. Most of these require mixing or beating of ingredients before placement in the freezer bowl, but the labor is far from intensive. Once ingredients are ready, simply turn on the power, put the bowl in the freezer, and come back in 3 to 5 hours. Impressively compact for easy storage, the ice cream maker measures just 5-1/4 inches high and 6-1/2 inches in diameter. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

• Battery-operated ice cream maker for use in the freezer
• Cordless for easy use; includes step-by-step instructions and recipes

"Doesn't work - complete waste of money" 2010-07-15
By Sara (Pennsylvania)
This was a complete waste of money. The inside churner is light plastic - stops as soon as the contents aren't liquid. So, you can have sweet milk, or frozen milk -- no ice cream. I didn't even expect it to be regular ice-cream texture, just more like soft ice-cream, but all that happened was that contents froze. Really, buy a better one, or save or money.

  
"Buy This If You Have Time on Your Hands" 2009-05-28
By M. Shaw (West Palm Beach, FL)
I bought this device for my wife. We wind up buying ice cream at the super market because we are always too busy to make it ourselves. I think the idea is neat, but you need to have enough time to dedicate to these hobbies. I am not even sure where the device is located anymore.

  
"Good idea, bad results" 2008-09-15
By Clayton Jones (New Hampshire, USA)
This ice cream maker attempts to solve one of the problems of low-cost ice cream makers, which either use a freezable bowl or ice and rock salt: the need to plan ahead. It sounds like a wonderful idea to be able to pop the whole unit it the freezer and magically get out ice cream, but the way that good, smooth ice cream is made is to freeze the mixture _fast_. Having ice or a bowl with frozen gel allows heat to quickly conduct out of the ice cream mixture, discouraging the formation of large ice crystals and creating a smooth result. This unit, however, relies on the cold freezer air to freeze the ice cream over hours. The result is a grainy mess. High-fat mixtures do a little bit better (the formation of ice crystals is limited by all of the milkfat), but forget ice milk, frozen yogurts, or frozen fruit desserts. The result, quite literally, will not be much different than if you just placed a bowl in the freezer.

  
"even my wife loves it" 2006-12-26
By Ari Elias Bachrach (Philadelphia PA)
Originally this was an impulse buy which got me a "what did you buy now" look from my wife (who usually abhors anything that even vaguely resembles a "gadget"). Although she may try to claim otherwise, I think I actually won that debate when she first tasted the ice cream we made.If you've never had fresh ice cream, it is a treat to behold. WIthout any of the artificial preservatives and sugars that are added to commercial ice cream, you can really taste the full flavor and texture of the fruit. Compared to commercial ice cream, it's lighter, has a much fuller and richer taste, and is much healthier. My only regret is that it's not big enough, so buy two. :-)

"Absolutely Amazing Ice Cream" 2006-07-04
By Connie Hulett Erickson (Yukon, Ok. USA)
For those of you out there that are lactoce intolerant...You HAVE to get this amazing machine!. My basic recipe for this machine is:

1 cup Non-dairy coffee creamer (Coffee Mate liquid - any flavor you like)
1/2 Cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup non-dairy whipped topping

1 pint strawberries, peaches, etc. blended smooth


Just mix it all together, put in ice cream machine and let it go for 5 hours! The creamiest, best lactose free ice cream I have ever eaten!I have also made butter pecan (Coffee Mate Butter Pecan flavor) with Bakers toffee bits in it (I just increased the amount of Coffee Mate by 1/2 cup to keep it from getting to much like pudding).I tried the basic recipe that came with the machine and did not have good luck with it; maybe it's because I did not use real milk with the eggs, so I found another recipe that I could used the Cofee Mate non-dairy liquid creamer in.....it's awesome using the recipe I have listed above.This is the one of the best purchases I have ever made; machine performs as advertised and even better than advertised. Easy to clean, a no-brainer to operate and now I can eat ice cream with everyone else and not have to suffer with my severe lactose interolerance.

"Works really good!" 2010-02-27
By Kyle Legrand (Vermont)
So far I have only made a few sorbets, but it makes a really great consistency! Each of the sorbets I have made only took around 15 minutes. I expect the ice cream to be a little bit longer.

"What a piece of junk!" 2010-10-06
By Mayfirst
This is a complete waste of money. I have one and it does nothing but frustrate me. I tried it twice and both times it shaved about a tablespoon or two of ice before jamming. It is useless. I can't believe Hamilton Beach would actually sell something which operates so poorly. I use ice from cubes made in my freezer- not purchased or made by an ice machine which someone else suggested could be the problem. It's packed in my garage to go into the trash next cleanup day. I wouldn't even try to get rid of it for one dollar at a garage sale!

  
"Pretty good for the price" 2010-10-06
By Lisa M. Przekurat
Sometimes you have to open it up and adjust the position of the ice cubes. Other than that it does a pretty good job for the price. It is very simple to operate. I use ice cubes from an automatic ice maker (semi circle shape).

  
"Great Buy" 2010-09-30
By 1115
Love it!!!!! Bought it for my son's birthday party which had a circus theme. It worked great and made lot of snow cones very quickly. The only complaint I have is that the store bought ice clogged it up, but my ice maker ice did great!!!

  
"Coarse grind but fast and convenient" 2010-09-28
By Fragino (California)
Does not make shaved ice. More like chipped ice in two versions. Coarse and coarser. It is consitently finer than an ice crusher though. I still like it and use it. The things I like about it is the large hopper on top that I fill with regular ice cubes, the large container that collects a large amount of chipped ice, no mess, fast and easy to use.

  
"Didn't Work" 2010-09-26
By Garina (Colorado)
Unfortunately, I didn't open it until the return window had passed. When I opened the box, it was clear it had been opened, used, and returned. No one had even bothered to try to repackage it. Then when I tried to use it (per the crinkled instructions,) it ran, but had zero affect on the ice. Off it goes to the landfill.

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker 1.5 Quart Bonus! 2 Freezer Bowls ~ Modern Red Finish

Customer Reviews

"I can't stop making ice cream!" 2010-08-27
By CityGal410 (Atlanta, GA United States)
I bought this a few months ago, with the extra bowl, and have not stopped using it. Once you get the basic recipes for making ice creams and frozen yogurts, you can go to town creating your own flavors. Also, homemade tastes a million times better than anything you will purchase at the grocery store. The machine could not be easier. I store the canisters that contain the freezing liquid in my freezer. I like having two so I don't have to wait a day to make another flavor, I can make 2 flavors in the same day (you see once you use the canister, it needs 24 hours to refreeze before it is ready to use again). You prepare your mixture in a bowl, chill it (if necessary) then pour it into the ice cream maker. Turn it on, and you will have homemade ice cream (or frozen yogurt) in 30 minutes. My favorite flavor has been Nutella Frozen Yogurt made with nonfat Greek yogurt, Nutella and vanilla beans. The second batch I made I swirled in peanut butter. I am telling you, I have been using it for 3 months and I am still having a ball with it!

  
"Awesome" 2010-07-22
By matulp
This is the most fun appliance I've gotten in a long time. I think in the one month I've had it, I've made ice cream on average 3 times a week. My grandkids and kids love the output (hubby too)!! The receipes that came with the ice cream maker are awesome. Because I watch my weight, I've substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the cream and 2% milk for whole milk and the results are still yummy. Who ever thought of the freezer bowl had a real brainstorm. I only wish I had bought only one bowl because I transfer the contents to another container and firm up the ice cream in my frige top freezer. This maker runs quiet and is easy to clean. By the way the shipper was fast too. Good job - Cuisinart!

  
"Great machine at a great price!" 2010-07-02
By WillyWally5
This is fantastic for a family! We just got this yesterday at the urging of my 10-year-old son. After freezing the freezer bowls for the recommended time, we whipped up two batches of to-die-for ice cream this evening, utilizing recipes from the included booklet. The texture is rich, creamy and wonderful, and in my humble opinion, much better than store-bought stuff!The machine seems sturdy enough for regular home use and is relatively quiet (no louder than our dishwasher) and very easy to use. The freezer bowls are great, and having an extra one (as included with this product) is super handy. There is no messing with salt or ice; you just mix up your recipe, pour it into the freezer bowl and let 'er rip! Easy as pie ... mmmm, pie. With ICE CREAM, of course!
