Reviews for Waring WCIC20 2 Qt. Compressor Ice Cream Maker - 120V

I own one of these machines and it is really great. Unfortunately I bought it before I found this place and WAY overpaid for it :( Basically it's a two quart ice cream maker, you pour your ingredients in, push a button and about an hour later, have fresh ice cream to eat. It doesn't get much easier than this really. For those of us 'old school' types who remember the days of playing with salt, ice, and depending on how 'old' school you want to go, turning a crank for 45 minutes, you can put all that stuff into the 'back when I was your age we did it THIS way' closet, because all of that work is gone.

So I have a very tiny restaurant and I like to experiment a lot with different things and this is perfect for making small little experimental batches of ice cream really easy to use more like a toy then a piece of equipment very happy with my purchase can you go wrong with it

Super convenient to use and clean. You can make fantastic sorbets in 40 minutes with only 3 or 4 ingredients. Cleanup is easy, and the footprint is small.

I love this thing! it works so much better than those "freeze a bowl" ice cream machines. it is a little large but the self contained compressor is worth it. it usually takes me about an hour to freeze a large batch of ice cream, so the pre-set times are off, but it's a great machine for small batch ice cream.

It made good ice cream for a while, but it just isn't sturdy enough for regular commercial use. We do about 4qts of ice cream a week, and this machine broke down after less than a year.

So far this machine has not let me down. Obviously it is not meant for heavy duty use. It will not whip air into your ice cream so you will have no overrun.

Stopped making ice cream after a year

This machine never worked. I had operated it one time without the small pour spout cover, which I thought might have been the problem. Now having found the part, I tried it again with the same result- it doesn't freeze and the machine heats up a lot. A bit scary, actually. Unfortunately, my investigative efforts took too long and warranty period is expired. 600.00 loss. Not happy!
