No Pre-freezing Ice Cream Machine 1.2L, Ice Cream Maker with Compressor, 3 in 1, Touchscreen Control Panel & Timer, Homemade Ice Cream/Gelato/Sorbet/Frozen Yoghurt

Very good good machine, especially for the price, 1.2 ltr capacity and easy to add extras such as nuts, chocolate chips, etc. Simple to operate and easy to clean, it runs for one hour maximum at a time and produces ice cream that is too soft to eat straight away. But an hour or two in a container in my deep freeze, firms it up. Probably not as versatile or quick as the market-leading 2 litre Cuisinart machine, but it's nearly a third of the price and I am happily making great ice cream.

I bought this ice cream machine for my gelato-obsessed teenage daughter for Christmas. We made her first batch (Gianduja gelato) and I can honestly say that I'm blown away by the quality. The gelato is soft scoop when emerging from the machine but freezes up fully when left in the freezer. We couldn't wait and sampled some of it soft scoop and it was delicious.I did buy a really good gelato recipe book (Jacob Kennedy - Gelupo Gelato) along with quality ingredients and the results are insane. All made and frozen within the space of a few hours.Tonight we're making Fior Di Latte gelato to take to her friend's sleepover! Can't wait to sample it!This machine is great value for money and very easy to use. My daughter said it's her fave Christmas pressie ever!

Love that you don't have to know you want ice-cream 24 hours before you get it.A bit fiddly and messy. Plastic paddle could do with a redesign as ice-cream gathers in a lump when almost made meaning most is frozen but some is left VERY soft. Have to dismantle, scrape it off and start again.But in general, it's good for the money.

I have been considering whether to buy an ice cream machine for some time. My wife questioned whether I really needed another kitchen gadget, but won her over with my first batch of ice cream. It is really easy to use, no pre-freezing is required, and all my batches that I have made so far have turned out really well. It is a bit bulky and heavy, but other than that no real problem. If you like ice cream and experimenting with your own flavour combinations, then I would definitely recommend.

Received the Ice cream maker and then promptly returned it I can't say anymore than that because it didn't turn on which is highly unusual for items made in China, anyway it's off to landfill heaven via the Royal Mail

Not noisy, reasonable price but recipe book was limited in choice. Easy to use, easy to clean and sleek finish.

Excellent. Best one to buy. Just watch for timing. Ideal for a dessert

It is a good ice cream maker when it works the paddle works for four seconds at the time not very impressed then eventually it will kick in and do the entire ice cream
