Ice cream makers - recommendations?

Not sure if this is the right section to post but...

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend me a good ice cream maker. It seems like it would be a fun / different thing for me to start doing - even with those $5 ice cream coups floating around:P

I'm going to order it off Amazon.ca with my points so I'm not sure if they have pretty much every brand or whatever.

Thank you:flowers:

I have one - think its cusinart and i got it from costco. Can be a bit noisey but makes yummy ice-cream and i love the way you can pretty much add anything you want.

I don't own it but my sister (total ice cream freak) has this one she got for her birthday and she really loves it. It works great, is easy and is a lot of fun to use. It might be the same one as PP has..

I have the Cuisinart, but found that buying the items to makethe ice cream (for a family of 6) was waay more expensive than just buying ice cream!

We do pull it out for fun occasions though! I also have to say that even though it ends up being quite expensive, our home made ise cream is faaar better tasting than store bought!

Do you already own a KitchenAid mixer? If you do,the ice-cream maker attachment is wonderful. I use it often and almost never buy commercial icecream anymore:-)

We bought this one for my father-in-law and it works great. Keep in mind that the ingredients can be expensive and you can only make one small batch at a time. But it is fun and delicious!

I have the cuisinart with two canisters! I've had it for years and it still works great, I always keep the canisters in the freezer so we can make ice cream whenever we want!! I mostly make fruit sorbets when stuff is in season, real ice cream is a lot more complicated when you're doing it with kids!!

Hi, I just got a Cuisinart from Amazon, and it works great!!!!!! You know if you ever read the boxes of the cheaper ice cream it's full of fillers and additives, even wheat. So I figure paying out more money is okay, because it's free of additives and I see what is going into the product!! Go with the Cuisinart!
