Awesome and Easy!
I purchased this after much debate about whether or not I needed a two quart ice cream maker or just go with the original Cuisinart $49.95 one. I am so glad i bought this one. It is so great. Easy to use makes alot of ice creamso sleek looking.
I have a tiny kicthen and everytime I turn around I am buying something that will clutter my counterspace but I have to say this I don't mind. It is square not to bulky and the cord fits nicely up inside the machine. It doesn't dangle or anything. It's right next to my KitchenAid.
I have made two recipes out of the manual that comes with the machine. I usually don't like "manual recipes" however these are fantastic. The Mango Gelato was a huge hit with family and friends. One girl who doesn't like ice cream liked it. The simple ice creams that dont require making a custard you just mix all the ingredients together and freeze I was thinking it would be terrible. It wasn't so you can make ice cream in 30minutes from start to finish with those recipes.
I do keep the bowl in the freezer like others suggested with the smaller ice cream maker. It has been very useful to have it already frozen when I am ready to make ice cream.
As far as noise it is not as quiet as I thought but don't let that scare you. It's not like turning on a blender and leaving it running for 25 minutes. It's not an annoying noise. Not like the old ice cream makers with the ice and stuff. It is fun to watch it churn too. So the noise just fades to the background.
It's very interactive and a great thing to do with kids and company.
I really can't say enough good. One of the best appliance investments I have mad yet.

Simply Great Ice Cream
As this product had not been reviewed yet I read several reviews for the Cuisinart ICE-20 Ice Cream Maker before making my decision to purchase this product. Many comments about the ICE-20 mentioned that the ice cream is the consistency of soft serve; some 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 hear 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 about 20 minutes the ice cream was nicely textured and creamy. It wasn't as hard as the packed ice cream you purchase at the store so I guess you might say the consistency was somewhere between 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 simply wonderful. It has a fresh pure taste that outshines anything I could purchase from the store. I bought it mainly because I wanted to have control of my ingredients. I want to use organic products as much as possible and I want to experiment with soy ice creams; I have thought I might want to get away from dairy products altogether.
This product was listed as the newest version of the ICE-20 and as an upgrade that improves upon the ICE-20 while still keeping its popular features. I don't know what the upgrade consists of but I can say that in 20-25 minutes I had really excellent ice cream that I thought was the perfect consistency. After freezing it for a couple of hours it was firmer and I liked it at that consistency too. I was thinking about how great this ice cream would be with warm apple pie because tasting it really is like tasting fresh vanilla cream. But we're a couple of months away from apple pie season! This product couldn't be simpler to use and I think it will pay for itself fairly quickly in savings over the cost of premium purchased ice cream. And it just tastes better.

Delicious Flavored Snow Cones
Hawaiian Shaved Ice Company rules the shaved ice/snow cone business! Fast shipping and a variety of flavors to die for. These syrups are wonderful with strong tasty flavors not some watered down supermarket syrup that you can't taste after a minute or two. The ten pack variety had enough flavors to please our entire family of seven with no gripes! Re-order form and list of all available flavors and accessories were included with the order. Very pleased with the product. Don't buy a snow cone machine without this purchase to top it off.

Snowman Ice Shaver
I bought this machine before any description or reviews were posted and hoped for the best. I was pleasantly surprised in what this machine can do. One trick to this machine though is to definately freeze the liquid that you want to use in the machine first. Conveniently this shaver comes with two round freezing containers which fit the shaver compartment exactly. I have tried shaving just plain ice first and then adding liquids but because this machine generates snow the snow tends to melt before you get a chance to enjoy it. If you freeze it first the snow cones last a long time and are much better. All that you have to do is put ice into the shaving compartment and push down on the top. You do not have to push for very long or very hard and the entire ice block will be shaved. If you are looking for a manual snow cone machine I would highly recommend this one as an inexpensive reliable candidate.
