Bought May 30th and have made 7 batches of ice cream. Used the basic recipe from the book then tried a custard style ice cream recipe I like better. I found that freezing the bowl for 24 hours makes sure the bowl is frozen solid for first use. We make the recipe than cool it in the fridge or freezer and add to the chilled bowl from the freezer. Takes about 30 minutes to make a nice creamy soft serve and taking the last 10 minutes to add any add in makes for a much better distribution through the whole quart. I just give it a quick wash and towel dry and back in the freezer for the next time. Every recipe has worked and we have made many flavors. Freezing maple walnut right now in an air tight container.

It is compact, easy to operate and clean. YES. I followed the directions that were sent and ran the mixture for more than two hours. The ice cream never developed. Poured the mixture intro a container and froze the mixture. Will try one more time to use this Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker or send it back.

Bought this ice cream maker and began making ice cream immediately. The recipes are easy to follow and are very good. It makes sorbet as easy as ice cream. The machine only takes about 25 minutes to turn the mixtures into ice cream. The greatest thing about it is that you choose the ingredients. If you want all organic, then use organic ingredients. You decide what goes in. The only drawback is the noise the motor/machine makes when you turn it on. It is quite loud and a bit annoying. How ever, the end result is worth waiting through 25 minutes of noise. Overall this is a very good product that delivers what is says. I recommend it to everyone since it is very easy to used.

This machine works perfect! Be SURE to deep freeze the mixing bowl for 24 hours. Set up machine and turn it on just before you pour the ingredients in. If you set your freezer to a very cold setting there will be no need to freeze the ice cream after it is made. Will be thick/frozen and ready to eat in 15 to 20 minutes. DO NOT pour the mixture in until the machine is running because it will freeze to the wall and the paddle will break when you turn it on!!!!!! So glad bought this machine!

This ice cream maker does the job, although you really need a cold freezer and some patience to get the bowl cold enough. If you follow the instructions and plan ahead 2-3 days, you will end up with delicious ice cream after only a brief churn. The motor is slightly loud, but the total churn time has been around 20 minutes so the sound isn't too bothersome. Parts seem sturdy and the manual is clear. I'd recommend it as a dependable addition to your dessert-making stable!
