Cool Creations Ice Cream Maker
I researched ice cream makers for a solid month before deciding on the Cool Creations Ice Cream Maker. I purchased this one for a few key reasons, I am a Cuisinart user and owner and I know that Cuisinart produces the highest quality products. Cool Creations is no different. Everyone search I conducted looking for top quality ice creams makers, Cool Creations was on the list. Lastly, I love the sleek design, it is compact and fits on my counter quite nicely. Cool Creations is easy to use. The digital display allows me to set it and forget it. Once the operation is done, I get a an alert and the best part, if I miss the alert the machine continues to cool my cream for 30 additional minutes. But what I really love is the final product, the base churns to a nice soft serve creamy consistency (think Wendy's Frosty) that is ready to enjoy right out of the container. Yes, I have done this more times than I will admit. The one thing that I would improve here is, during the churning process the machine is very loud, which can get a bit bothersome after 10 minutes or so. However, the end product outweighs the noise level for me.

I don't like this machine
It takes 36-48 hours for the bowl to freeze and it didn't even make ice cream. It was a cold, sloppy mess. I returned this product because it took way too long to make a subpar product.

We’re sorry to hear your experience with your ice cream maker didn’t meet expectations and understand your frustration. For best results, we suggest allowing the bowl to completely defrost, then shaking it and freezing it for 24–48 hours before use to ensure proper churning. We’re happy to know you were able to return the unit hassle-free.
Pretty good machine
Make sure to freeze the bowl before pouring your mixture. If you don’t, your mixture will never freeze. If you follow the instructions correctly, your ice cream freezes pretty fast.

Superb machine
My grandkids love the idea of making ice cream. I love it that I can control what GREAT ingredients go into every batch. You can make up to 1/2 gallon at a time. I have made strawberry, chocolate, vanilla and orange sorbet so far. And make one batch a day as it takes that long to re-freeze the insert. Every batch has been outstanding in taste because of GREAT ingredients and a superb machine to do the job. I could make ice cream every day.

Very happy with cruisinart ice cream maker. Its very easy to use, great instructions and recipes. Already made one batch of ice cream and gelato. Incredible good tasting. Compared to other ice cream makers I found this to be a great value.

Ice Cream Maker
Not good quality. I expected a much better, creamier ice cream. After the 30 minute mixing cycle was completed, it still needed to be placed in the freezer overnight. Unfortunately, it turned into ice crystals and became more like a snow cone. I added heavy cream and stirred it until it became creamier. It tasted ok but it is not a product that I want to spend more time and money on. I should have spent more $$ on a better ice cream maker. I do not recommend this product.

We’re sorry to hear that the ICE-70P1 didn’t meet your expectations and appreciate your detailed feedback. For creamier results, we recommend pre-freezing the bowl for a full 24 hours, chilling the base thoroughly before churning, and adding mix-ins only at the end; some recipes also benefit from a higher fat content or a brief hardening period after churning. Your comments regarding texture and overall performance will be shared with our product team.

Cool Creations™ 2 Quart Ice Cream Maker
I love this machine it makes terrific ice cream especially if you like soft serve, it's perfect for that. The only thing I wish was different was the paddle mixing the ice cream. I wish it was easier to get the ice cream off of it, even with using my smaller spatula, it's extremely difficult. I don't want to waste any of it and it's almost impossible not to with the paddle they have now.

Quality machine
I've only had the ice cream maker for a few weeks but have used it extensively with many recipes and so far everything has worked great. I received it quickly, easy setup, easy operation, and so far no issues. Even ordered a second freezer bowl to use it more often.
