Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to use. Ice cream turns out great! Cookies and Cream was the favorite.

Excellent product. Makes frozen treats super fast! The lid tends to pop out of the lock grooves, but it's manageable with a little masking tape.

Great for making any ttpe of ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt would buy again 100%

I had quite a time finding this ice cream maker anywhere and was thrilled to find it here at Best Buy on line. It arrived promptly within a few days. Read the instructions, read the recipes that came with it, washed the bowl and placed it in the freezer. Went to the grocery and purchased the freshest, organic items to make my ice cream. Voila! You mix your ingredients in a separate bowl then empty them into the freezer bowl. Turn on the machine and watch it make ice cream. You do have to keep an eye on it because as the ice cream thickens, it tries to bulge up out of the filler cover. That's when it is ready. Just a warning, it is pretty noisy. Think I will be making homemade ice cream from now on rather than buying the commercial ones. There is just no comparison of flavor. What a joy!

I've used this ice cream maker 4 times now. It's a little louder than I had expected, but it's easier to clean than I'd expected too. In roughly 20 min the ice cream will be a soft serve consistency and I put it into small cups to then put in the chest freezer. I'm using a recipe that calls for an erythritol/stevia sweetening blend, so after overnight in the freezer, it's harder than an ice cream made with regular sugar. If I leave the ice cream freezer bowl out for a couple of hours, I can wash it, dry thoroughly and put it back in the freezer. It would be ready to use by the next day.

So good, the ice cream comes out great. It is a little loud, but I don’t care, it makes great treats. I would recommend it.

So far I have made 5 recipes of Ice cream and have loved the simple and fast freezing of this machine. You should make sure to freeze the tub and I suggest covering it to keep the frost out. I noticed that the machine only gets really loud when it is ready to be turned off, other than that I don't find it bad while doing other things.

Excellent ice maker for home use. Never made ice cream before, and got it right from the very first time. Just follow the directions and you can do it too. Very low maintenance: just wash and freeze the container. Keep in mind that it isn't very quiet, so think about proper placement that wouldn't interfere with listening to other stuff.

Love it. Our first ice cream maker too. Lovely looks. Came with a cute sticker too. Everything about it is just wonderful besides the color and the open lid. Also the power line is just a little shorter, a little longer for more convenience

I have been meaning to buy an ice cream maker for some time now. This was more than I wanted to spend but I was sure I would get a quality product from cuisinart. The reviews were great. It makes really good ice cream. Some recipes need to be put in the freezer for a bit before eating. Some are perfect right from the machine.

If you're a fan of ice cream do yourself a favor and run don't walk and go grab you one of these things makes ice cream fast cheap and tastes great also fun to do with the kids and family A+

Got it on sale and I’ve really wanted one for a long time! Super stoked to make all my frozen treats

This Cuisinart standalone model ice cream maker replaced one from another manufacturer that was an attachment to our stand mixer. The latter was difficult to attach and ended up needing replacement due to leaking coolant. The Cuisinart has been much easier to use and we've made a few delicious batches of ice cream so far - another one planned for this weekend!

Very simple to set up and use, and makes delicious ice cream once you figure out how to properly freezer the inner bucket. One drawback is that you may need a deep freezer, adjust your normal freezer to -5 F, or rearrange your freezer to properly freezer the inner bucket. The coldest freezer setting on one of my freezer/refrigerator units was not able to properly freeze it. Also, it takes atleast 24 hour to fully freeze, and you can make one, maybe two batches at a time before the bucket needs to be cleaned and refrozen. Other than that, it performs wonderfully for the price.

Instructional video is helpful. Very easy for anyone to use. Professional quality with delicious results.

This was by far the easiest ice cream maker to use. It’s as easy as 1,2, and 3 and you’re done in less than a hour!

All I can say is this is one of the best investments I made this year. We have made frozen treats at least once a week since we got it. It's super easy to use and clean. And best of all, It makes absolutely delicious ice cream. You will not regret buying this product-- trust me. Also, I did end up buying another freezer bowl, so we can make more treats whenever we want them!!

SUPER DELICIOUS AND SO EASY! Make real ice cream in half an hour without the unnecessary ingredients in store-bought ice cream (like oil). It's a beautiful machine and easy to clean. A great discovery! Also a great gift.

Love it! So easy to use and cleans up quickly. My daughter recommended it to me so she loves hers too!

A little noisy but wow it makes great Ice Cream!! Put it in Pantry while using, noise reduction went down.
