Creativity runs wild
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product is handy but also slightly hard to use. The prep time does take a little bit so make sure to read the instructions prior to expecting to use it. After you do use it, it becomes a classic staple to any routine in your house. I would recommend if you are willing to put in the work!

Yummy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun product. I like experimenting and creating new dessert combos. The ice cream comes out pretty good but it’s always a little bit icy even after extra rounds of spinning. It’s quiet and doesn’t take up too much space. But annoying you have to plan 24 hours in advance. I like having control of all the ingredients so that it is more wholesome than store bought alternatives. I’ve tried ice cream, nondairy ice cream and slushies and all have been yummy.

Compact but mighty!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m pleasantly surprised by the Cuisinart FastFreeze Max Ice Cream Maker! It’s quite powerful for its compact size and delivers amazing results! I have always wanted to invest in an ice cream maker but many are large in size and I don’t have much space in my kitchen. This device was perfect! It takes up a very minimal amount of counter space and makes delicious ice cream! I had fun playing around with various ingredients and trying out ice cream, shakes and various frozen desserts! I loved the small containers allowing me to freeze some options for later. The machine is powerful and effectively blends the ingredients together. The many ice cream flavors I made came out smooth and delicious. This machine was a huge hit with my entire family. It’s easy to clean, use and store. I’m very happy with this product and it’s an absolute must have for the warmer weather months!

Cute machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is cute and compact. You have to freeze your ingredients in a 24 hour time period and then you're able to mix the base and any additional ingredients. It does not blend chunks and is not a blender so it can't be used in that way. It's nice that you can mix in things like protein powder and any additional components you may want that are not readily available in the store. It does feel like a lot of work having to buy the ingredients and then wait 24 hours for the base to mix...but if you're prepared for this and want to make your own concoction of ice cream , it would be worth it.

Ice Cream Maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it, it is easy to make desserts at home, it can be used to make ice cream and a variety of other desserts. I like that the brand's website has a lot of recipes with clear and easy to understand steps. Ice cream is often too sweet for me and I want something low in sugar with fewer preservatives, so I like homemade desserts because they are much healthier and taste very delicious too. It would be even better if I could enjoy it without having to start preparing it a day in advance because sometime I suddenly crave ice cream.

Ice Cream Maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a very fun project to do with my 3 year old. We had a lot of fun customizing our ice cream and trying new flavors. It was really easy to prepare the dessert cups and freeze them. After freezing for 24 hours we used the ice cream maker to finalize our yummy creation. The only downside I found was that the ice cream wasn't as sold as I would have liked. My favorite part about making my own ice cream is that I was able to control the ingredients that went into it. It was definitely much healthier than other ice creams on the market. I am excited to try the other features of this machine soon!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the FastFreeze™ Max Ice Cream Maker—we’re delighted to hear how much fun you had creating custom flavors, especially as a family activity. For a firmer consistency, we recommend ensuring the dessert cups are frozen solid and using a slightly higher cream or fat content in the recipe, as this can help improve texture; our Consumer Assistance Center can also offer tips. Thank you again—your feedback means a lot to us and helps drive improvements in future models.

Kid approved!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this cuisinart ice cream maker! We used this on Easter morning and made milkshakes! It really is easy as 1-2-3! I love that it has different speeds and many different options to choose from when it comes to making frozen desserts! It was exceptionally fast and easy. This product is going to be one of the most used kitchen appliances I own now, especially this summer!

Such a cool tool!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice cream maker is so cool!! We made vanilla ice cream and a protein ice cream using protein powder. Both were easy to blend and it’s pretty intuitive. Our kids loved the ice cream and the texture was creamy and icy. Perfect!!

Great individual size ice cream portion
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did milk and heavy cream combo with chocolate chips, vanilla and a few marshmallows and froze it overnight. I put the machine on and within seconds I had really good ice cream. Give this a try.

Say Hi to Homemade Ice Cream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These cute little ice cream makers are so much fun! They are well built, sturdy to grind through ice cubes, and looking cuter than ever! The compact size can fit into my cabinet space easily. It doesn't have big noise like many others. There are multiple single serve containers which make serving multi people with different flavors easily at the same time. I've let my kids try using them and they love it!

Love this!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great addition to the kitchen! It replaced my old and bulky Hamilton beach ice cream machine, and I absolutely love it. There are so many options, so many different ways it use it, and it’s compact and doesn’t take up a ton of space which is also a huge plus! Looking forward to making many frozen treats this summer!

Great little machine & delicious treats!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this little machine! I made several things - protein "slushies", oat milk ice cream, and a true milk ice cream. I love how fast it works and that I can control the ingredients. The ability to remix or add additional mix ins was awesome. We added oreos! Delious! Two downsides: It more "shaves" than aerates, so it more of a slushy consistency. I was fine with it, but it's not the fluffiest of ice creams. Second, it was sometimes hard to lock in the frozen container into the grinder, if anything froze to the edge of the frozen container. We have a drawer freezer that moves a lot and sometimes, there was mixture on the edge. Took a bit to figure out.

New Favorite Appliance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love ice cream but the stuff you buy from the store has so many added ingredients. I can now make ice cream at home that tastes just as good using only ingredients that I’m familiar with. This is our new favorite appliance.

Great device to make your favorite treat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If your family loves ice cream as much as our family, this would be an amazing appliance to make this treat! It is compact and takes very little space, not too loud when in use, and looks stylish and simple to fit in any kitchen. We made regular ice cream and oatmilk based ice cream (with added oat cream) and both were simply delicious. And batches are big enough too, so you can make ice cream and freeze it for later. Great for your wallet, for time saving and for your taste buds! It is also a fun process of making it, so if you have kids I'm sure it would be very cool for them to be little chefs and combine different toppings to express their creativity. Highly recommend!
