cuisinart ice cream 50bc Important Hint
This ice cream maker seems like a great idea – it’s inexpensive for a maker with a built in freezer – but the quality is very low. Pieces like the lid break easily. The arm is always popping off the machine. And worst of all, the stirrer does a terrible job scraping the edge of the bowl. That freezers up quickly and soon the stirrer gets stuck and stops – leaving you with icy stuff on the outside and liquid at the middle of the bowl. This is no good for the texture of the finished product. I used this produce 20+ times in the course of a year, but have since switched to using a KitchenAid KICA0WH Ice Cream Maker Attachment with much better results.

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.
I bought this ice cream maker about a month ago, and have made a lot of ice cream so far. Every time the ice cream has turned out perfectly. As long as you keep an eye on the ice cream to make sure it doesn’t churn too long, the ice cream maker definitely does its job. This is much more convenient and quieter than our old ice and rock salt ice cream maker.
Ordered this item recently. The first one arrived with the paddle motor arm not working. I contacted Cuisinart and was told to watch the video online. After watching, I realized it was a defective machine and returned it. A new machine was sent out overnight. Very pleased with the return policy.
The new machine works fine. Albeit, the time to freeze ice cream is much longer than indicated in the description. Most of the batches I’ve made so far take about an hour. The ice cream is not hard right out of the machine. It must be frozen for about 2 hours, if you want very hard ice cream. The paddle arm does turn off if the ice cream gets too hard for the paddle to turn, and the machine’s compressor stays cool as long as the timer is running. Someone mentioned in another review that the paddle arm auto-reverses when the ice cream gets too hard. This does not happen on the model I received. Nor have I had an issue with the arm jumping as the machine churns…mentioned in some of the reviews.
The ice creams that seem to be the best out of this machine are those with a custard base. I have not made ice cream before…perhaps this is true of any ice cream maker.
Now for the bad news: When the other reviews indicate the machine makes a lot of noise, I expected it to be on the order of the volume of my stand mixer. Be prepared! You can not hold a conversation in the same room with this machine running! If you have a closed pantry, a sun room, a garage… put this machine there. Otherwise, be prepared for everyone to vacate the area when you make ice cream. It is the paddle arm that makes all the noise. I’m not sure why it was made in the way it was. It seems that a series of gears could be made to run more smoothly and with less noise.
That having been said, I am very happy with the ice cream I’ve made so far. It is far better than any I’ve bought in stores. And, because my taste is for less sweet deserts, I can now make them exactly the way I like them. The alternatives to this machine are much higher priced…the next price point is around $600. So, for the price, I’m willing to deal with the noise. (Luckily, I have a second kitchen so, this guy can have his own space. Just think of it as a teenager that you don’t have to put through college;)
Refrigeration system works very well. The agitator has very little torque (power) and often stops before the ice cream can be very firm. Agitator is completely plastic and likely will be easily broken.
