Create Delicious Homemade Ice Cream with the Whynter ICM-200LS Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker

EKFEKF: For anyone who is concerned about a TLDR review: the Whynter 2.1 Quart Ice Cream Maker is wonderful.
For the rest of you, here’s my review.
I’ll start with Why. Buying an ice cream maker is all about the quality of the ice cream. The ice cream I can buy in the grocery store is ok, but generally the flavors are a bit weaker than I’d like them to be and the texture tends toward too much overrun (incorporated air). Premium ice creams solve some of this, but once I’m willing to put that much money into each serving it’s time to think abut better solutions. Making it at home accounts for all of that.
Once I decided to make ice cream at home I had to choose between pre-freezing a bowl or a machine with freezing capacity. I don’t want to devote the space in my freezer to a bowl and having to plan to pre-freeze the bowl. If I’m relying on that, then I’ll be heading to an ice cream shop when I want to have premium ice cream (plenty of experience on this). Integrated freezing capacity reduces the planning required. I can decide to make, prepare, and freeze the ice cream all in one day.
The Whynter looks nice (which is irrelevant) and has a 4 foot cord providing...

Arnoldo: Para hacer recetas y pruebas en el hogar está muy pero muy bien. Le da la textura q se necesita y esponja bien el helado. Definitivamente recomiendo este producto. El único detalle es que en lugares cálidos o calurosos no será suficiente el tiempo de batido que marca de fábrica y tendrás q darle un poco más de tiempo pero nada grave.

Amazon Customer: Although the machine does take up a lot of counter space, it’s worth it. 😊!
So easy to use, grand children love coming over and make ice cream for dessert.

Isabelle morin: We love this machine. While it is pricey it os well worth the cost when you consider that this machine has a compressor to chill the mixture while it is churning. No need to mess with freezing bowls or rock salt and ice. The ice cream comes out perfectly every time! Be careful when putting solid ingredients into your ice cream though, we broke a paddle on our older machine putting chocolate chips into a batch. Nbd you can order replacements from the company directly. This is a bigger machine though so make sure you have a place to store it when not in use.

Naomi Raven: I love making my own icecream. I used to have another brand I loved as well but because of an international move we are not able to use it anymore. I ordered this one after reading good consumer and tester reviews. Also a good pricepoint for a home icecream maker.

I'ts easy to operate with just a few buttons as long as you know what you are doing. Meaning that you have to understand that the base temp of the mixture dictates how long it needs to churn. For example if the mixture is still a bit warm it will obviously take longer and that will influence the texture.

I have made gelato, icecream and sorbets and they turn out beautifull.

The only minus I could give is that the buttons are a bit loose and stiff at the same time. Loose to touch but to set it up you need to push pretty hard. This has not changed in the 2 years that I have it.

It's a Mystery: This Whynter ICM-200LS is very identical to The Ariete - DeLongi  Ariete - DeLonghi Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker with Built-in Compressor, LCD Digital Display, 2.1 Quart  and the Gourmia GSI400  Gourmia GSI400 Stainless Steel 2.2 Qt SleekServe Automatic Ice Cream Maker - Gelato, Sorbet and Frozen Yogurt Machine - Built-in Compressor and LCD Digital Display- Includes Free Recipe Book  . Side note: I'll briefly compare these units to Cuisinart ICE 100  Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker  and the Breville BCI600XL  Breville BCI600XL Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker  and the Lello  Lello 4080 Musso Lussino 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker, Stainless  toward the end of the review. The Whynter ICM-15LS and the Knox 1.5 are also identical with their smaller capacity of 1.5 Quarts (though the stickers say litres which I guess is technically about 6% more volume than the Quarts advertised) All these Chinese made units have the same company bringing the UL listing, specs, and design to market from the company Intertek. The lids are also identical as are the plastic paddles as are the mechanisms that attach to the bottom of the...
