Homtone Ice Cream Maker, No pre-Freezing Automatic Ice Cream Machine 2.1 Quart with Built-in Compressor and LCD Timer for Making Ice Cream,Gelato in 30-60 min

It’s simple and awesome. The key is to let it churn the full cycle. Lots of aeration. I have diet ice cream. :)

It arrived a few days ago set it up for first use had to straighten the ears on the bucket so I could pull the bucket out really not a big deal or issue. 1st ice cream was great machine worked perfectly. I saw reviews stating paddle got stuck I made blue berry ice cream paddle never stuck and it was done in about 45 mins once completed I removed the paddle and placed machine into cool mode only for an hour at the bottom and sides the ice cream was nice and thick and hard where as closer to center was more soft serve. The recipe I used made 4 cups of the base and filled the bucket about half full, but it was the perfect amount because had it been more than 4 cups it would have made a big mess as it churned I ended up with just shy of 2 quarts. UPDATE: 8-4-2024 machine still working great the only problems I have had were self inflicted as I worked towards perfecting my base. I have found for best results you need 1 cup sugar so ice cream does not freeze super hard once placed in freezer. My typical base now is 1cup sugar, 1 cup whole milk, and 2 cups heavy cream. When making different flavors I incorporate them into my standard base.

This is super easy to use. The only thing is, I wish it would freeze better. Too soft unless you run it a couple of hours. No problem s getting the bucket in and out.

We cannot eat dairy, and buying this machine was an investment into our health so that we could make better quality (and less expensive!) ice cream options than what is currently available in stores. We used it all summer to make all different kinds of coconut based ice cream. Works very well! My only complaint is it emits a squeal while churning.

This is awesome, I can make ice cream without freezing a bowl first. It’s easy to make and fun for children and adults. Make ice cream in half gallons at a time take about an hour, easy to clean and use can make different flavors when consulting with Google

Makes 1 full bowl enough for 2 people

Good quality, very quiet, no complaints.

I've had this now for nearly six months and love this. I'm on a keto diet and if I want ice cream I have to either pay and arm and leg for it, or make it myself. This product lets me do the latter. The built-in refrigeration coil is a godsend, and I will never go back to frozen core ice cream makers ever again. This is so awesome that I can make my own ice cream, the way I need it made, any time I want.

Makes good ice cream
