Overview
Buyer's Guide
Planning to buy an ice cream maker?
When considering an ice cream maker, there are a few key things to think about. The first is how much ice cream you want to be able to make at one time. If you only plan on making small batches, then a smaller ice cream maker will suffice. However, if you want to be able to make large batches or even churn multiple flavors at once, then you'll need a larger machine. Another key consideration is how easy the machine is to use. Some ice cream makers require pre-freezing the bowl overnight, while others have a self-freezing feature. Consider how much effort you're willing to put into making ice cream, and choose a machine accordingly. Finally, think about what kind of features you want in an ice cream maker. Some come with built-in timers, others have automatic shut-off, and still others come with a variety of attachments for different ice cream-making techniques. Choose the machine that has the features that are most important to you.Rankings
