Great ice cream maker indeed!
By B. Miller
I have relied on my Rival ice cream maker for some years, churning out many, some batches of good ice cream…but after so numerous years, i got tired of the rock salt and ice ordeal so i went for this model. GLAD I DID! I’ve made half a dozen batches so far and i’m pleased to say this works better than the salt/ice machine. A few comments:

Simply Great Ice Cream
By Kathryn Price
As this product had not been reviewed yet, I read various reviews for the Cuisinart ICE-20 Ice Cream Maker before making my decision to buy this product. Many remarks regarding the ICE-20 brought up that the ice cream is the consistency of soft serve; a good deal of reviewers said it was too soft. I did not find that issue with the ice cream I made with this ice cream maker. I turned my freezer to the coldest setting and froze the bowl for 7 hours. I could not listen any liquid moving in the bowl at that point, so I assumed it was solidly frozen. I made the Simple Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from the booklet that came with the machine. After with regards to 20 minutes, the ice cream was nicely textured and creamy. It wasn’t as hard as the packed ice cream you buy at the store, so I guess you might say the consistency was someplace amidst soft serve and store-bought: firmer than soft serve, but not as firm as hard pack. As reviewers of the ICE-20 pointed out, if the ice cream was frozen as solidly as hard pack in the machine, it would be difficult to remove it from the container.
The ice cream is plainly wonderful. It has a fresh, pure taste that outshines anything I could buy from the store. I purchased it mainly because I wanted to have control of my ingredients. I want to use organic merchandise as much as possible and I want to experiment with soy ice creams; I have thought I might want to get away from dairy merchandise altogether.
This product was listed as the most recent version of the ICE-20 and as an upgrade that improves upon the ICE-20 while still keeping it is general features. I don’t know what the upgrade comprises of, but I may say that in 20-25 minutes, I had genuinely splendid ice cream that I thought was the perfective consistency. (Since I posted this review, a commenter here has cited that the upgrade comprises of a new paddle design, reducing the processing time by 25%, according to the manufacturer.) After freezing it for a couple of hours it was firmer and I liked it at that consistency, too. I was thinking in regards to how outstanding this ice cream would be with warm apple pie, because tasting it genuinely is like tasting fresh vanilla cream. But we’re a couple of months away from apple pie season! This product couldn’t be more elementary to use, and I think it will pay for itself somewhat quickly in savings over the cost of premium purchased ice cream. And it just tastes better.

Much bettered from the ICE-20
By Banshee
I purchased the new ICE-21 ice cream maker from Cuisinart and just made my original batch of strawberry ice cream. I was a little worried that it would not freeze well based on the reviews of the ICE-20, likewise sold on amazon, but in in a literal sense 10 minutes after pouring the chilled ingredients in, I had utterly textured ice cream. The unit is very easy to clean, not terribly loud, and as long as if doesn’t break on me after a few months (and I will update this if it does), I will say this is a great purchase. Now I may make whatsoever flavor ice cream I desire! Mwhahaha!
