    5 Stars Making Ice Cream Has Never Been So Easy 08/03/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compact, easy to use, makes nice ice cream, price.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Capacity

    SWEET TOOTH & MY SEARCH FOR AN ICE CREAM MAKER I think I was born with a sweet tooth! I am definitely a sucker for sweet things, whether it is cakes, chocolates, mousses, jelly sweets or even ice creams I am more than ready to gulp them down. Of course I am a little bit weight conscious too so I have to reduce my calories intake accordingly, however we all need a treat now and again and Ice cream is something that is always able to put a huge smile on my face, and of course there low fat options to cater for health conscious individuals like myself. I use to buy ice cream tubs from my local ... more

    4 Stars A great introduction to home ice cream making. 10/02/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use. Does the job well.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Smallish capacity.

    I’ve always been a fan of doing some cooking as and when time allows, and in addition am a big fan of gadgets. As a result a couple of years ago as a Christmas present, my wife bought me an ice cream maker, and the model she chose was the IM200 from Kenwood. As it was a present, I don’t know how much was paid for it at the time, but it’s still available on the high street from places such as Currys for around the £25 mark, and cheaper still in the usual places on the Internet. As you can see this isn’t an expensive piece of kit, and as a result doesn’t have any fancy options, but Kenwood are a ... more

    4 Stars Just one Cornetto,: give it to me,: delicious ice-cream, of Italy 10/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages 24 hour freezing

    My friends and I play ‘Come Dine with me’ and we have series of dinner parties where we rate each other. The more ‘home made’ your meal is, the more marks you generally get. It looks so impressive if you bring out homemade pastry or homemade ice cream. I tried a few internet recipes that used a good old fridge freezer and a lot of elbow grease but the results were disastrous. So my quest to find an ice cream maker began. I had seen a couple of the people on the Come Dine with me show use one and was very impressed with their results. I was quite shocked at the prices though, as most ice cream ... more

    5 Stars Become the new Ben or Jerry? 21/04/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use and clean

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the bowl needs to be frozen for 24hrs before use

    I had been reading many reviews on the internet about ice cream makers and thought they sounded good and quite easy to use! I had also been seeing them being used more and more often on Come Dine With Me and fancied the idea of making up my own creations. I absolutely love ice cream, especially Ben n Jerrys so I thought this would be a good way of saving money on buying those expensive tubs. I added it to my Christmas list, not really thinking I would get one as the ones I had seen were quite expensive. I was chuffed to bits on Christmas morning when I opened my shiny new Kenwood Ice Cream ... more

    4 Stars DIY Ice Cream! 22/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple set up, simple to use, inexpensive.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time consuming to prepare bowl&ingredients.Maximum of 2batches at a time

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why an Ice Cream Maker? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well I'm with a website where you earn points and these points can be exchanged for free gifts. So after not much deliberation I decided to get an ice cream maker. I chose this particular model as it was the one that I could afford with my points! The advantages of having an ice cream maker are pretty clear when you look at the price of my favourite Ben and Jerry's Ice creams. Another main advantage is that I know exactly what is going into my ice cream. There are only natural fruits and none of the nasty E numbers that we ... more

    5 Stars I scream I love ice-cream. 16/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Any flavour ice cream whenever you want it.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Havent found any yet.

    Like anyone, I love ice-cream. However when I was pregnant I had a major craving for the stuff and couldnt get enough of it, so what did father christmas bring me, yes, you guessed right, an ice-cream maker. WOW! I couldnt wait to get home and get started. Now I hadnt used an ice-cream maker before, but on using this one it was just so easy. So in your box you have the following; 1. Instruction / recipe leaflet 2. Power unit 3. Lid 4. Spindle 5. Paddle 6. Bowl Now before you can make your ice-cream you need to freeze the bowl in an upright position for a minimum of 24 hours, so thats the only ... more

    4 Stars You Scream... I Scream.... 07/02/2011

    Advantages Advantages quick

    Disadvantages Disadvantages have to cool it for a long time

    My lovely sister bought me this ice cream maker about a year ago for Christmas as she knows I have a penchant for all things crazy-kitchen-gadgets. I have used it quite a few times and think it is a pretty good for an ice cream maker. It comes in a few pieces with a base which is what the ice cream is made in, a paddle style thing which fits into the top and rotates and the top part which twists onto the bottom piece and holds the motorised section. The top part has the electric parts and the ice cream maker is powered through a plug which goes in the wall. How the ice cream worker works is ... more

    4 Stars I cream for you Mr Whippy 20/06/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Freezing the bowl

    It is probably not the best time of year to review an ice cream maker given the dark, wet cold days that we still have to endure but I like to think about better weather to help me get through the horrible winter months and making ice cream is one such thing. The great thing about this ice cream maker from Kenwood is the price, I paid £26.99 for it and compared with some other ones on the market that is a pretty good price. The ice cream maker has a 1.1 liter capacity and weighs just under 3kg. It is important to remember that that capacity is the finished volume and the process of making ice ... more

    5 Stars Ice-cream lover's delight 20/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lovely additive-free ice cream in minutes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small quantities (especially for greedy people like us), bowl must be frozen in advance.

    Having inadvertently brought a fruit-o-phobe into the world, I am always on the look out for easy ways to up the fruit intake. I stumbled across ice-cream makers on a shopping trip. The price seemed too good to be true, so when we got home I set about some internet research and found that these things can be had for about £20. In fact, Currys had this model for £17.99, so I hopped over to the local Currys and picked one up. HOW IT WORKS The unit is very simple. It consists of a motorised unit that turns a paddle in a frozen bowl. You start the paddle running and pour the ice-cream mixture in ... more

    4 Stars I love my ice cream maker 28/08/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic Ice Cream

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sieving out the pips to get a smoothe raspberry sorbet

    So who doesn’t like ice cream – what no one? That’s what I thought so how about making your own? I had wanted an ice cream maker for some time so had done the research before I asked for this make for Christmas last year. I have the Kenwood ice cream maker It is the cheapest on the market but it does the job - you can pay £300+ for one that does not need the bowl to be pre-frozen (more about that in a minute) but unless you plan on making infinite bowls of ice cream or going into catering there is little point. So you get your machine, the first thing you want to do with any new toy is play ... more
