Cuisinart ICE-30BCP1 ICE30BC Ice Cream Maker, Stainless Steel Plastic, Brushed Chrome

good

Item delivered in good robust packaging. Instruction booklet clear and easy to follow. Included recipes very useful and I found it great as a base to try out my own flavours. Love it!

buying the Cuisinart ICE-30Bc from U.K , the electric current is supposed to be 220 volts. to my shock and surprise, i received the unit and plugged it in Jordan and it burned because the electric current requirement on the bottom of the unit says 110 volts . this is unusual to sell electric run units in the U.K. with 110 volts electric requirement. now i am trying to repair the unit in Jordan on my own expense and i blame this on you.

If you want to use this in the UK, you'll need a converter. It's 120v instead of 230v.

Okay, so I want this review to be really informative so that it can help anyone who is considering to buy this but a little apprehensive. I must say the comments didnt look promising to me at all but since I have been eyeing this for quite a few months and I knew that at some point of time I would definitely have it in my kitchen,expensive.. sure but I just went ahead and bought this for my anniversary lol! So I had already read about someone whose machine unfortunately blew down due to the voltage problem (it being 110V needs a step down convertor) I also got a call from the seller informing me that I would need a convertor, which was really nice. So this got delivered to me in under 15 days amd went out and bought a step down convertor (100 watts just to be on the safe side) the day after. I had already seen many many ice cream recipes on youtube(laura vitale) samd had quite a few in mind but I went ahead with the mango ice cream since its summer already and I have been missing mangoes big time! I was really scared when I plugged my machine into the convertor and switched it on, to my relief it didnt blow up lol I must point out that I have a huge LG 4- door refrigerator so the freezer temperature wasnt a problem for me but as a measure I shook the frozen bowl and it was frozen solid so I knew that was a good starting point. I poured my custard bsased mixture that has been in the fridge for 4 hours and in the freezer for the last 15 min into the machine and within 15 min I could see that the texture was a hit! By 25 min the soft serve texture was achieved (for completely frozen ones you have to keep it in the freezer which is always mentioned everywhere even in the youtube videos) but I let it run for 4 extra min (total 29 min) just to be sure. I took out the icecream and it was delicious and of soft serve texture that we get in malls. I have now kept it in the freezer just to set conpletely and I am sure it would! So yeah I definitely love this machine and I am so excited about the different flavors I could make in this! Tomorrow I am gonna make vanilla chocolate chio ice cream ;-) the custard is already cooling in the fridge and the ice cream machine bowl in the freezer ;-) So its definitely a great buy, its no doubt expensive but for someone like me who loves to cook up and experiment with different recipes, its a great buy! I love it! I took some pics but cant find the attach pics button :-(

Tuve que devolver el producto. Motivo de la devolución: la máquina NO es compatible con la electricidad que utilizamos en España, ya que ni el voltaje ni el tipo de enchufe son los adecuados. Sin embargo, el vendedor/amazon se encargó de reembolsar el producto, lo cual es de agradecer.

This is a great little ice cream maker! Originally I was looking for something that I didnt have to freeze a bowl. Because I didnt want to have to take that extra step. But this came on sale so it was too tempting to pass up! Super simple to use and makes icecream so much faster then the old Nostalgia ones. No leaks, material is nice, easy to use! I gave my freezer bowl about 18 hours in a deep freezer and it worked wonderfully. It also comes with a very nice and detailed recipe book that is super helpful and it was easy to clean up too. Over all great product and made yummy ice cream!

ممتاز

I love this thing! It is easy to use, easy to clean, and we have made some delicious ice cream with it! The simple vanilla and simple chocolate recipes in the included booklet are delicious and easy, as was a mint recipe I found online. Just mix ingredients in a bowl, turn it on, and pour it in! Haven't tried one that requires cooking on the stove first, seems like a lot of unnecessary work. It made a fun little activity for the grandkids, too! I don't find it to be loud, it's just a low whirring in the background. The bowl does need to be frozen overnight, so it might take planning if you have limited freezer space. I just store ours in our chest freezer so it is always ready to go. I don't think it's any cheaper than buying ice cream, but I guess that depends on what brand you buy, too. I try not to buy single purpose kitchen appliances that take up space and don't get used very often, but we eat a lot of ice cream around here so I think we will get some use out of this one. Oh, and you can use it to make frozen margaritas!
