My youngest daughter and I decided to get an ice cream maker jointly since our birthdays are close together and because we both love ice cream.

We researched different types and brands and decided on the Cuisinart ICE 70.

We have made 4 batches of ice cream so far (the first for her birthday party).

Bottom line:  it works.  It is a bit loud, but I simply run it in another room (no big deal).  It churns the ingredients wonderfully well.  It cleans very easily.  It looks great on the counter.  Regarding durability, who can say?  Time will tell.

We are delighted with this machine.

Get one, make ice cream.  It's fun!
