Whynter ICM-128WS Upright Automatic Ice Cream Maker - Create Delicious Homemade Treats in Minutes!

Miriam N. Paschal: This ice-cream maker is not cheap. But it's well worth the cost compared to the value you get.

A lot of people use the ice-cream makers that rely on the bowls you pre-freeze overnight. I tried one of those once and it didn't stay frozen long enough to get the ice-cream to the soft-serve consistency you need in the finished product. Then you have to wash the bowl and re-freeze it before you can use it again.

We also have two of the old-fashioned bucket-type ice-cream makers. Those make a lot of of ice-cream and it's real ice-cream when you're done. We even have the plug-in motor that does the cranking for you. But they make a huge mess and take a lot of ice and salt. And it has to be the right kind of salt.

This Whynter ice-cream maker is more of a professional grade ice-cream maker. It has a compressor that freezes the bowl while the motor runs the churn. It's easy to use and doesn't make a mess. And while it does cost more than the other two kinds of ice-cream makers, it is far superior.

The recipes in the booklet provided with the machine are all good, but be warned that they all make twice the amount the ice-cream maker can churn at...

Isis G.Isis G.: Tengo 2 años con ella y funciona perfectamente. Tengo negocio de nieves en la colonia y he vendido más de 300 litros. Sí es ruidosa y no es muy cómodo sacar el producto terminado pero te acostumbras a eso. La recomiendo si tu producción es baja.

Marcus Lemans: Le saco una estrella por el color, es horrendo pero a México llega solo este color en lugar del blanco.
La máquina es muy buena, tamaño cómodo, ocupa un cuadrado de aprox. 26cm x 26cm y es muy simple para limpiar, se saca el cestito de acero y se lava facilmente.
Las paletas podrían ser de acero también, no se porque las hicieron de plástico.
Según la mezcla tienes helado entre 30min y 60min y el tamaño es para una o dos personas máximo.
Muy recomendable.

Steph: Absolutely love this machine. I've had many of those freezer bowl ones in the past and hated them. So happy I finally invested in a real ice cream machine. It cleans out so nice and easy and the churner actually scrapes the sides and you get nice creamy frozen treats.

Frumble: I have been using this machine to make frozen yogurt and once for ice cream ever since I received it and love the results. Easy to use and love tat I don’t have to worry about freezing the bowl for over 8 hours every time. The biggest selling point is that the churning bowl is made of stainless steel. Also love that being upright it takes up very little room. Looks solid.

CNH: This is my first compressor ice cream maker -- I have always used the hand crank or freeze the container versions. I cannot understand why I waited so long to get this! Yes, it is costly, but it has earned it's keep in just a month.
The machine is quite intuitive. It comes with clear directions that my 10 year old was able to follow and make her first batch without my help (nor evidently . . . my permission . . . but I digress)
This machine is quiet. Seriously -- the first time I heard it I checked to make sure it was really working. Such a change from the old frozen dish version I used to have!! It does have a large footprint, but it's smaller than my breadmaker because it is tall vs long. It fits on my shelf with no worries but if you have tight shelves you should measure. It is heavy so lifting it to the counter is a pain, but worth it.
This machine is a workhorse -- there have been days we made four batches of ice cream, each following the last, with no issues. The icecream is consistent -- for example, one day we made strawberry, cherry, cheesecake and eggnog versions, and each batch was creamy and mostly solid despite having different...
