Nostalgia 2 Qt Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The performance of this machine is amazing, and it’s surprisingly lightweight. Cleaning it isn’t the easiest, but it’s manageable. The value is great, the size is perfect—but it’s really only suitable for home use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has been a great addition especially with a kiddo at home. I try to avoid store bought ice cream because most of them have a lot of sugar, and I prefer being able to use mostly organic ingredients. Before getting this machine, I had tried making ice cream by hand, but it was a lot of work and the texture was never right or at least never close to the store bought ones. It always ended up with ice crystals and wasn’t creamy. I did watch a few videos online to understand how to use this machine properly and what type of mixture gives the best results, but once I learned that, everything became super easy. The ice cream came out smooth, creamy, and completely free of ice crystals, which the entire family loved. I also appreciate that it doesn’t require a 24 hour waiting period. Just pour in the mix and let it churn for about 30–35 minutes though the texture gets even better if you freeze it overnight. The machine isn’t very noisy either, which is a big plus. It was packaged beautifully, the retro look is adorable, and the ingredient chute makes it fun for my kiddo to add mixins. Overall, it’s been great for us—healthier ingredients, less effort, and delicious homemade ice cream. The only improvement I’d suggest is including a recipe book for making different types of ice creams.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nostalgia Electric Ice Cream Maker is a solid, fun, budget-friendly way to make homemade ice cream, especially for occasional use, gatherings, or dessert nights. It gives you good results with relatively little effort — and the large capacity makes it ideal for families and entertaining. If you want a no-fuss, all-the-time machine and care deeply about smoothness and convenience, you might eventually outgrow it — but for its price point, it’s a great “starter” or casual-use cream maker. Makes really smooth ice cream. Very easy to use with minimal cleaning effort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just tried my new Nostalgia Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker, and I’m honestly obsessed! It was super easy to set up and the vanilla ice cream came out smooth, thick, and creamy—just like a real ice cream shop. I love that the bowl freezes quickly, and you don’t need rock salt or ice. The lid even has a chute so you can add toppings while it mixes! The design is cute and stylish, the size is perfect for small batches, and clean-up only took a few minutes. If you love desserts or want something fun for family nights, this is definitely worth buying!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really happy with this ice cream maker. I love the color and that the maker itself isn't too heavy. The manual comes with quite a few recipes but we've just been experimenting with different fruits in a vanilla base. It took about 20 minutes to get a soft, milkshake like ice cream. I did freeze it overnight and the ice cream is still delicious just more crumbly now. Setting it up was easy. Just pop the canister in the freezer for 24 hours and add your ingredients. My kids loved helping me with this too so it's a fun family activity although I did have to hear "is it done yet?" about a dozen times.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a solid steel ice cream maker. It gets the job done and allows you to add toppings as it goes. The product isn’t anything special, however that doesn’t mean it’s bad. It does what it needs to and makes a good ice cream.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The nostalgia ice cream maker is so easy to sue and so fun for our kids! The ice cream comes out so smooth and creamy. It comes out more like soft serve style. Highly recommend to get if you’re looking for a simple ice cream maker at an affordable price
