But not all ice cream makers are built the same. One issue commonly seen with homemade ice cream from these machines is a grainy consistency.
This is a result of ice crystals that get in the ice cream. There are three major types of ice cream makers. One requires you to add ice and salt, while another has you freezing the bowl ahead of time.
The third comes with a compressor, which means you can fire it up and start making ice cream. If you only plan to make ice cream for your own immediate family, you may not have to worry much about capacity.

Overall Take The self-refrigerating ice cream maker is easy to use, allowing you to just fire it up whenever you want a tasty treat. For the full ranking, see below. The Cuisinart machine is 12" wide, 17" deep and 9. While the Whynter machine is The thing to be aware of here is that while the Cuisinart is deeper than it is wide, the Whynter is wider than it is deep.
Now of course you can arrange them on your worktop as you wish! But you do need to consider the air vents The Cuisinart ICE is deep.
All compressor ice cream makers have air vents to cool the motor and the compressor. These must not be obstructed while the machine is running, otherwise it won't work properly.
So you should probably leave at least 4" 10 cm space. Air vents. On the sides of the Cuisinart ICE On the Cuisinart ICE the air vents are on the sides, so the machine shouldn't be positioned too close to any side walls in your kitchen. While on the Whynter ICMLS, the vents are on the front and back, so you shouldn't push it too close to the back wall. The Cuisinart ICE weighs 32 lb This is significant, since more weight tends to indicate better quality components and a more powerful motor and compressor!
And it's not just the extra weight that gives me this impression. While the casing on both machines consists of a stainless steel top and plastic sides, it appears to be much thicker and sturdier on the Cuisinart. I find the Cuisinart ICE the sleeker, more robust machine of the two. I also find the Cuisinart the better looking of the two machines. From the sculpted air vents, to the sloping top panel, some effort seems to have gone into making the Cuisinart attractive.
While the Whynter is just plain ugly! Having said all that, I much prefer the lid of the Whynter. The tiny hatch for adding mix-ins is next to useless, forcing you to remove the lid when you want to add cookies, candies or fruit towards the end of the churning.
The Cuisinart ICE lid has no hatch and can be difficult to lock in place. But at least the Whynter lid is easy to get on and off! I constantly struggle with the lid on the Cuisinart and it always take me a a least a couple of goes to secure it in place. In terms of the control panel, both the Cuisinart and the Whynter are equally bad! Both feature very basic control panels with, un-tactile buttons, dull LCD screens and frustratingly limited functionality.
On both control panels you can only adjust the timer in one direction, and while the Cuisinart allows you to do this in 1 or 5 minute intervals, with the Whynter you can only adjust in 10 minute intervals!
The Cuisinart is the only ice cream maker that I know of that comes with a 3 year 5 yeas in the UK! This is pretty generous. Which is a bit tight! The Whynter comes with a 1 year warranty. You have to organize and pay for delivery. If there is a problem within the first two months they will pay for the return postage.
After that, you pay. Before you use it for the first time, leave your ice cream maker standing upright for 12 hours. If it's been left on it's side, or upside down during transit, the coolant liquid will have seeped out of the compressor and it wont work properly. Leaving it upright for 12 hours will allow the coolant liquid to seep back into the right place!
And with compressor ice cream makers, the warranty is important. Machines with built in freezers are delicate. After some time they may stop working effectively or stop working altogether. So it should definitely be a consideration when you're deciding between machines.
Generally compressor ice cream makers are quieter than the machines with freezable bowls. It's not a big difference but if you are sensitive to noise it's definitely worth considering. So if you want to pre-cool the machine and you really should , you just turn them on for 15 minutes before you add the mixture.
