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.

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.

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.

Cool (pun intended) machine.
Easy to use and makes much better ice cream than the best designer ice cream in stores. Just remember to remix (by hand) the mixture you left in fridge overnight.

Great ice cream maker for beginners and tinkerers
I’ve been really happy with this ice cream maker so far. It’s simple to set up and the controls are easy to figure out, even on the first go. Once the freezing bowl is chilled, the machine turns basic ingredients into creamy ice cream in under an hour. I’ve made a few different recipes and everything has turned out smooth and flavorful. The batch size is perfect for a family or for sharing with friends. I also appreciate that it handles sorbet and lighter desserts just as well as traditional ice cream. The only thing to keep in mind is that the ice cream comes out more like soft-serve at first, so I usually pop the finished batch in the freezer for a bit to firm it up. As long as the bowl is frozen properly ahead of time, the results are consistently great. Overall, it’s a reliable, easy-to-use machine that makes homemade ice cream fun and low-stress. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants fresh frozen treats without a big learning curve.

Worked twice and never again. I ended up with thoroughly stirred cream in liquid form. Huge waste of money.

If you love ice cream...
Another terrific Cuisinart product that makes premiere ice cream, sorbet, sherbet and frozen yogurt. Easy to use, quick and no mess. Quite an upgrade from the old hand crank wooden bucket packed with ice and salt!

So far, so good
I have made two batches of vanilla icecream so far, and I am really enjoying it. You can decide things like the milk to cream ratio, how many eggs to use for a custard, and how long to mix it for. My only complaint is that you can only make one batch in a sitting.

Works well
Love that I can make delicious ice cream in flavors I can’t buy given I have food allergies. I feel like what I make is healthier (not processed), custom to my food avoidances, and tastes better! Easy to keep two bowls in the freezer and be ready for cravings at any moment.
