Customer reviews
Like a pro in a few minutes. ;)
Received this ice cream maker about 3 hours ago. In anticipation, I had already prepared 4 different flavors of frozen custard. However, it was still about 130 degrees and still cooling in the fridge. Not to be deterred, I liberated my new toy from its box, skimmed the directions, cleaned the bowl, dumped in about 6 ounces of still hot coffee flavored custard base ( I wanted to see how well it would make a single serving of ice cream) , turned it on, and waited. I watched the silky surface of the soon to be deliciousness as it churned. Mesmerized. My daughter asked if it was a good movie. I said it was good and did not have any commercials. She said, more like one long continuous commercial. Hint taken. I went to socialize. Seriously, just 27 minutes later and we were in ice cream glory. (ok, about 37 minutes if you include the liberation, reading, and cleaning.) From hot to frozen...lickety split! She got to have fresh made ice cream over her lunch break. She quickly assessed the recipe for what ingredients she needed to drop off to make more ice cream. I am guessing that is for ME to make her more ice cream. It took about a minute, or less, to wash the bucket. Then I dried it and replaced it in the machine. Wow. No ice. No salt. No mess. Tears of joy! Obviously, I am a novice with the machine since I have only had it a few hours. I can say that ease of use is phenomenal. Set it on the counter, clean the container and dry it really well before replacing it so it does not freeze in place, pour in ingredients, put lid on, and turn it on. Then wait. But not for long. Clean up is also a snap. It is very compact compared to what I had expected. I had visions of a monstrosity setting on my counter. It is big, but not obnoxiously huge. No more of a foot print than a kitchen aid mixer. Pros: has 3 settings 1- making ice cream 2- holding it at a cold temperature 3-mixing ingredients for non cooked recipes (eggless ice creams,sorbet, margarita, slush,....etc.) quick set up user panel is fairly intuitive removable container for easy cleanup not terribly loud - also comparable to using a stand mixer noise level, not as loud as the ones with ice/salt needed able to make even a single serving -- I have glass jars with the flavored base ready in the refrigerator waiting able to make 2 quarts for when you need/want more no foreign objects in my ice cream....the last time I used the salt/ice method, either the ice or salt must have had something in it and I covered the to top of the bucket with ice,salt, so I don't know, but all three flavors had shards of glass or plastic in them. Was not too happy. All of my utensils and containers were metal. I am guessing the culprit was either the ice or salt. The end product did not taste salty, so probably the ice. No idea. Or maybe the plastic paddle was chipping off. Just....grrrrrrrr. I have been glaring at that old churn for nearly a year and just decided the heck with it. cons: not sure yet. will use it a few times and let you know. I am interested in the design so far as cleaning up if your freezing container over runs. edit 8/2019 : if you make more than two batches in a row, it gets iced up. I now make two and then let it set for a couple if hours just because I do not want to risk breaking something. Better safe than sorry. hints: if you have a high powered blender, toss all of your ice cream ingredients in the container ( like making blender soups ) at once and blitz until you have a thick enough consistency. no scrambled eggs. no fuss. I just set my container on a scale and dump and tare as needed. Then I blitz it and pour into a jar and keep in the fridge. Or just pour it in the machine and make it right away. Have had this for a few weeks. LOVE it. The churn is not super fast, therefore the overrun is not particularly high. The end result is a nice, creamy texture for your final result. Clean up is super fast. I have not had any batches that have spilled into the cooling chamber. You would need to spend a bit of time cleaning that up since that chamber is not removable. Advice: don't do that. I generally do not care for things like chocolate icecream and chocolate cake. I find the flavor to be subdued and bland. Today I made some chocolate icecream that reminded me of a scoop I had in a historic area of Indianapolis when I was younger. All I need is some fudgey brownie chunks and it would have been perfection. It is super creamy and almost has the flavor of a dark chocolate pudding. I am sharing the recipe with you here. Note: I make all of my icecream using a vitamix. Super simple. Fudgey Chocolate Ice Cream 4 egg yolks 4 Tablespoons dark chocolate cocoa 1 pinch sea salt 3/4 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (imitation) 1/8 teaspoon butter flavor 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup whole milk 3 tablespoons corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder Put all in Vitamix. Let the blender run until the ice cream base is steaming and just beginning to look like custard. About 7 to 9 minutes. Mix in fudge brownie crumbles after done churning Either spin the ice cream right away or store/chill in the fridge. Makes about a pint of ice cream. update 8/2019 : Still loving this item. We use it less often, but I still get short notice requests for icecream because everyone knows how quick it is to do now. Have made frozen coke, slushes, sorbet, and lots of icecream with this. Still a big thumbs up! Update: 3/2025 Machine still going strong. Just made a batch if vanilla and a batch of chocolate. No commercial store bought icecream can come close to what you can achieve with this machine. So far my only bummer is that after two batches you need to give it a rest because it gets too cold. The metal bowl gets stuck frozen. Other than that, still loving this icecream maker after all these years. Today's batches are silky and just divine. June 25, 2025 This machine is getting a workout. I have been doing 2 or 3 batches almost every week. What I have learned is that if you leave it on the chill setting after it completes the cycle, in just 20 minutes you might have hard pack icecream. Lol So the deal is we got a Creami. Love it. But, if you want ice cream right away this unit is a better choice. With the Creami you put the container in the freezer over night. Now....having said that, I take advantage of having both. When I have time I make the base and then just freeze it for the Creami. But what has been super handy is to make icecream with the Whynter and pack the leftovers in Creami containers. The combo is ridiculously convenient.

Very easy to use...works incredibly well!! Delicious Ice-Cream....FAST!
So far...it's AWESOME. I have been shopping (and wanting) an ice-cream maker for over a year now and finally setttled on the Whynter Automatic 2.1 qt unit because I wanted something with a built-in compressor for the easiest process. I've only had it for less than a week and, so far, I have made two flawless batches of gelato. The first batch was dark chocolate gelato (with pieces of dark chocolate), and the second batch was pumpkin pie gelato (with pieces of buttery/cinnamon graham cracker crust throughout). Once it was unboxed, it was ready to use - after thoroughly cleaning of course. It has a relatively small footprint on my counter, which is nice since my kitchen is super-small. The machine is pretty quiet so far, definitely not loud or annoying. I found some great gelato recipes online (Recipes from Italy) despite the maker coming with a recipe booklet, and followed the instructions provided. Once I added all the ingredients, I followed the simple two steps, turn on the machine and set it to making ice-cream. It's that easy! Both batches of gelato were done in a relatively quick period of time, less than 40 minutes and it was ready to eat. The gelato is super smooth and delicious, probably some of the best gelato I've had, including what I ate when touring Italy several years ago. There were no ice crystals, no chunks, no surprises...just cold, creamy, and delicious gelato! I'll update my review if anything changes, but I'd definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to make ice-cream, gelato, or sorbet at home.

Great product, delicious ice cream
I made my first batch of ice cream the day it arrived. Because it has a built-in compressor, not having to freeze the parts the night before is super convenient, allowing me to use the product whenever I want. The instructions were very clear and detailed, and therefore the product was really easy to use. It also comes with a recipe book for whole bunch of different ice creams and gelato. The set time to churn is 60mins and it’s actually a lot quieter than I thought. After 60mins, the ice cream comes out a bit soft but the machine has an option to freeze without churning. Compared to store bought ice cream, it tastes so much better - it’s creamier and smoother. Im excited to experiment with different ingredients in the future.

Whynter ice cream maker.
I bought the machine and received it the following day. I made ice cream according to the recipes included in the booklet. The ice cream was extremely delicious; I was able to control the amount of sugar and ingredients, and I enjoyed every bite. I highly recommend this machine. It makes a little noise, but nothing unbearable. The machine is very simple to operate, and the quality of the ice cream is very good. I am glad I bought it for the summer. This way, I can save money on commercial ice cream, control the ingredients, and prepare healthy recipes.
