Amazon Customer: It is not so much the product as I like Cuisinart ... I received it in a box that had been opened and taped over again and there was NO instructions on how to use in the box.

Rebe: Funciona a la perfección si le pone hielos a la mezcla y lo licua se hace más rápido la nieve

Karthekeyan S: the machine is good, it churns out the ice cream in 20-25 minutes. but u need to follow the rules strictly. 1.the bowl has to be completely frozen overnight(make sure your freezer temp is very low). 2.the mix should be cold. 3.use the bowl as soon as it is taken out of the freezer and do not use it in a hot room

Calilily: What's not to like: it's simple to use, easy to clean and, as Ben & Jerry say in their ice cream book (which is a good thing to have with the machine) it's basically impossible to make a bad batch of ice cream. The worst thing that can happen occurs to those of us who are just a tad too impatient: the ice cream does not freeze up quite as firmly as you might have liked because you haven't let the freezer bowl stay in the freezer long enough (24 hours should do it). However, be warned that the ice cream is never going to be as firm as the kind you buy at the store, but then, as many other reviewers have pointed out, after you store it in the freezer for a few hours, it will harden up and start to resemble the stuff you buy. The machine is stylish and it isn't that noisy, although it is certainly not undetectable, as it sits there in the kitchen, churning out your dessert. It is also entertaining and slightly educational: my kids love the whole operation, from mixing up the cream base to watching the machine churn to sticking in things at the last minute (like cookie dough.) One warning: It is not a good idea to add Skittles to your vanilla ice cream. Admittedly, most adults...

A. Kernytsky: I remember having a strange contraption of an ice cream maker when we were young. I remember that we never succeeded at making ice cream. The result of a half hour of concocting and endlessly turning the crank was an unfrozen milk mixture that had many large frozen ice crystals in it that was hardly recognizable as ice cream. It was more like what you get when you accidentally let store bought ice cream thaw completely and then re-freeze it.
Naturally, I was a bit skeptical about this when I saw it showcased on Amazon's front page. After reading many rave reviews and checking out what else was available in the ice cream maker arena, I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised when after about 25-30 minutes of spinning I got ice cream that was about the consistency of soft serve. The amazing thing was how good it tasted, especially if you knew how limited my cooking skills are. The ice cream maker is still my favorite way to mate dessert even after a year. Definitely worth every last dollar.
A few suggestions: Ice cream and any frozen dessert you may make freezes best if you either use chilled ingredients for recipes that involve no cooking, and when they do need heating it...

ch1ap3t: When buying the Cuisinart ice cream maker, I really wasn't sure I'd use it, as I rarely eat ice creams. The power to create is a heady experience, though, and the effortlessness with which wonderful concoctions can be made using this machine ensures it will not become one of those useless appliances collecting dust on a shelf somewhere.
This is a great purchase even for those who assume they can't eat ice cream! Since you control the ingredients, you can create recipes working around any sort of diet -- allergy, diabetic, lactose intolerant, vegan, whatever! The machine also works equally well for sherberts and frozen drinks. It's extremely easy to use and cleans very easily.
Few notes for better results:
1) The bowl must be *frozen*. I recommend at least 2 days in the freezer between uses (you may want a second bowl).
2) Upon removing the bowl from the freezer, add ingredients and use -- it will start to thaw immediately. A friend noted that covering the top of the unit while mixing causes it to retain its "cool" longer (a plate over the opening works well).
3) The ingredients must be very cold. If cooking ingredients (such as for fruit or egg enhanced recipes),...
