Ice cream machine
« on: November 21, 2013, 01:24:12 am »
So I want another ice cream machine, which to buy????

I have a Cusinart soft serve machine, and have used it twice.
So will try and offload that.

Robyn I recently bought the Breville Smart Scoop and we are loving it, much better than having to have the bowl in the freezer and you can do as many batches in a row as you like. The only thing is it's quite big and heavy so ideally you need to have somewhere you can leave it.

Why don't you like your cuisinart, Obbie?

It takes up space in the freezer for the bowl thing.

I'm the same as wonder, very happy with my breville smart scoop. And the service from breville.

I must start using mine again. The kids loved the different variety of Icecream I made. Not much of a day here to think about Icecream though, it's been raining all day and very cold with several thunder storms rolling through.

I have a Cuisinart compressor model and am quite happy with it and it gets quite a bit of use.    I have been told that all the compressor type machines need to be left on a bench otherwise if you move them about  you have to wait some time to let the compressor fluids settle or something like that.

Sorry not sure what happened to my message, it was meant to say I'm making Nutella ice cream tonight for DS.  ;D


Hopeful cook I'm not much of an ice cream eater but the kids and DH like it and I rarely by it becasue they all eat different flavours. I have an area of bench space that's a little out of the way and the ice cream maker can sit there permanently. The combination of the TMX and a compressor ice cream maker really does make it very easy. I'm very glad I spent the extra and purchased the compressor model.
