if you graduate to this type, you will likely never go back to the Big Ice Bucket and Rock Salt. It is as it is advertised to be, very straight forward and absolutely easy to use. the only thing better than this one, would be a self refrigerated one.

Very simple design; Easy to clean; Quick; Compact Size; Finishes quickly; Easy to Use; Surprisingly clever desig; Nice looking design

Only 2 quarts; As loud as the rest

I thoroughly reviewed alternative products; I'm convinced this is the best value in the category of ice-cream makers. Given the name Cuisinart, I also anticipate many years of durable performance.

If you like frozen treats and you like them easily made with very little mess and fuss...for goodness sake get this appliance BUT don't use the recipes in the machine's guide...also pick up Ben and Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book.

After falling in love with mango ice cream in San Antonio, TX, I knew I had to try making some. I researched ice cream makers and decided on this Cuisinart. I was not disappointed. I got my Cuisinart Pure Indulgence at Best Buy for a better price than I'd seen anywhere else.

Easy to use

No automatic shut off

Machine works very well and makes excellent icecream Robust without lots of fiddly plastic bits to get lost or broken. The only problem is that it is rather noisy and we have to leave the room when it is operating !

i bought this a few months ago, and i am happy with it so far. i use it twice a week and have few complaints,but i must say it does have a few design flaws that i have to workaround.

I'm still in shock that such a simple part is not available from the company. I cannot be the only one with a broken dial.

This part doesn't seem to be replaceable; Seriously A dial Cuisinart told me that I had to get a new machine Really a $300 machine needs to be replaced because a $5 dial broke

Dial is not replaceable

Love this machine! I live the stainless steel tub vs the cheaper plastic version. Easy to use and results are just like store made ice cream and frozen yogurts. The key is always working with a cold tub and cold ingredients.

My son got this Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2 Quart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker for his birthday last year and we love it! You can actually make healthier ice cream than you can buy at the store, and have fun doing it also.

Compact Size; Easy to Use

Not Dishwasher Safe
