If you are serious about having fun making ice cream and sorbet, then this is the machine to get. I love that it has a built in refrigeration unit so you don’t have to mess with making room in the freezer for a cheap battery operated job. It takes about 30-45 minutes to whip up a batch and I usually start the machine before we sit down to dinner so that dessert is ready by the time we are done.

One thing to keep in mind is that it is heavy which is a consideration for those with limited counter space.
