Advantages: Great when it works
Disadvantages: Very short life span

This does make great ice cream, however be warned the design is flawed. After 18 months of good care and light use the blue freezing agent is leaking from fine cracks in the base, rendering it useless. The base itself would be expensive to replace and n ... Read review

Advantages: Delicious ice cream, no additives, makes you popular with small children

We bought our first ice cream maker thirteen years ago, for ten pounds from the local thrift store. We were intrigued to know whether it would work. Ice cream in Cyprus is expensive to buy, and I liked the idea of making my own inexpensive version, with t ... Read review

This review is of the DeLonghi Il Gelataio ICK6000 ice cream maker, allowing you to make ice cream in just thirty minutes, ideal for the several days of sunny weather that can be expected this year. I didn’t actually buy this, just borrowed to try from a ... Read review
