Do not buy cuisinart ice cream dispenser until you read what I have to say
Having not used a ice cream maker since the old fashioned kind with ice and salt- this is quite the item. You do need to make sure the bowl is frozen and that your ice cream mixture is completly cooled. Also, after freezing, it will need time in the freezer to “cure” as the old fashioned kind did. Depending on the consistencey that you like anywhere from a couple hours to overnight. We have tried several different recipes and I think you can adjust any to your liking. Just use the basic 4 ingredients- milk, whipping cream, sugar, and eggs. Also makes great ices, and sherberts for low fat options.

This is a great food machine purchase. I found it easy to use and clean. I read the instruction manual prior to using it to make sure I understood any warning or tips.
The best tip is to make sure your freezer bowl is frozen in advance. It has liquid inside that must freeze completely prior to use.
Here’s my main thoughts on it:
I put the machine together in about 3 minutes.
I used the recipe booklet included to make my first batch of vanilla ice cream.
I like that it makes the recipes from scratch. I can use organic ingredients if I so desired.
I fed a family of three with the ice cream dispensed from it. We were all very happy with the results.
One thing I noticed is the size of the machine needs open space and may not fit under most counters.
If we didnt eat all the ice cream immediately, I place a tupperware bowl underneath the spout. Placed it in the freezer. It did not get hard after a few hours in the freezer. So it can be made ahead of time or during dinner.
I would recommend the machine to another person.
Cuisinart Ice-45 Mix-It-In Soft-Serve 1-1/2-Quart Ice-Cream Maker
Got his as a gift for Christmas…what a thoughtful friend! We live far out into the country and getting ice cream home during the summer is almost impossible..even with freezer bags, ice chests, etc, the store bought ice cream is often runny. We just got used to the idea that we could not have fancy grocery store ice cream during July and August
As long as you follow the instructions and keep the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer (I keep the bowl in our spare frig’s top freezer, so it is not often opened), it makes decent soft serve ice cream. Take the time to read the other reviews and you can learn alot about how to operate this Cuisinart…it’s very simple, but there are a few “tricks” to make it even easier.
The only additional advice I can add, is to buy the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream recipe book with this and make some FANTASTIC ice cream. Just follow the instructions for making soft serve and after about 12 minutes, dump the soft serve into a tupperware bowl and freeze for a few hours – delicious!! The ice cream will taste as good (if not better) than the most expensive ice cream and costs very, very little.
This unit is simple and easy to operate. Making the ice cream mix is easy and cleanup is a snap.
Probably the nicest and most fun gift we have ever received!
After reviewing what everybody else has written I have learned
that you have to keep this freezer bowl in the back of your
freezer just to make ice cream. I can make some flavor and
put that in my freezer and make some ice cream without buying
this machine on my own. I want a self contained ice cream
maker that can make a product by plugging it in the wall
without a freezer in sight. So I guess this product is
not for me.
Make sure your freezer is zero degrees and follow the instructions, it is that easy. Takes a little longer than 20 minutes to get the consistancy I like 30 minutes is more like it. Great soft serve, will stand right up in a cone no problem.
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.
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;)
I purchased my Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Additional Freezer Bowl, fits ICE-20 Ice Cream Maker February 6, 2002 from Amazon for $29.99 and it still works great! I noticed the price has come down. Can’t say that about many things…
