Ice Ice Baby

Advantages: Relatively cheap, straightforward to use
Disadvantages: Occupies a lot of space in the freezer, spindle can be lost easily

Everyone, I think, has in their house a place I like to call the ‘graveyard of hopeful appliances’. These are things you bought for the kitchen, full of enthusiasm and vim, and then consigned to a sad little cupboard a mere couple of months after purchas ...

Churn Out Something Sweet

Advantages: Very efficient, handy inbuilt freezer
Disadvantages: Not the most stylish product, no audible indication when ice cream is ready
