I bought this model (the ICE-30BC) rather than the smaller 1.5-quart model (ICE-21) even though I got a good recommendation for the ICE-21 mostly because from the reviews it appears to me that the ICE-30BC has a more heavy-duty motor and I plan to USE this baby -- two to three times a week. I'm really glad not to have to deal with the ice and salt in the manual or crank-type ice cream maker models, and I find that this model does a GREAT job as long as I (1) freeze the container 20-24 hours before making the ice cream; and (2) refrigerate the ice cream mixture until cold before making the ice cream. (But when I don't want to wait, I can just put a warmer ice cream mixture in and let the ice cream maker run an extra 10 minutes or so.)
I find it easy to keep on the counter and I like the simple design and ease of use. Remember to always put the inner container in a plastic sack before freezing so you don't get freezer burn when you pull it out to make ice cream! I use a dish cloth or potholders to pull it out of the sack and place it into the machine. If you have small children around you will want to take extra precautions that they will not end up with their little fingers getting stuck to the sides. (Ouch!!) I might consider paying the extra two or three hundred bucks to get an ice cream maker with a compressor if I had kids in the house, because it would make it safer for them.
Okay, it's true: I'm a health foodie. But I'm a foodie too, and I love to eat ice cream. When I discovered that even Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream had corn syrup on the ingredients list I knew I was going to have to make it myself. (Note: Ben & Jerry's is now owned by the same company that owns Hellman's, Dove and Slim-Fast, so I'm sure Ben & Jerry were telling the truth in their ice cream recipe book when they said they never use corn syrup). And by the way: commercial ice cream is NOT required to list all ingredient, which can include: propylene glycol, ethyl acetate, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, caroxymethyl cellulose, butyraldehyde, and amyl acetate.
Nancy Pisctello reported for Natural News, "Aldehyde C-17, flavoring for cherry ice cream, is an inflammable liquid used in dyes, plastics, and rubber. Piperonal, used in place of vanilla, is a lice killer. Ethyl Acetate, a pineapple flavor, can also clean leather and textiles."
High fructose corn syrup is deadly, but what about those of us who need to lower or eliminate sugars from our diets? Diabetes is on the rise (no doubt thanks partially to the corn syrup so prevalent in so many processed foods), but aspartame could arguably be even more deadly.
And what about milk allergies? Personally, I'm not allergic to milk, but I have no interest in drinking it or freezing it to consume when it has been homogenized ("Some researchers believe that these protein-heavy fat globules can potentially increase homogenized milk's ability to cause allergic reactions. Numerous studies confirm this, at least with rodents as test subjects." - Raw-Milk-Facts.com) or pasteurized (cooked).
So for me, I want my ice cream raw, organic, generally milk-and-cream-free (since I don't have access to raw), low-to-no-glycemic and soy-free. The sweetener I use is non-GMO xylitol; and rather than milk and/or cream I usually use homemade almond milk or coconut milk. I can also add the very best ingredients and in place of butterfat some coconut oil (about 6-8 TBL. per 2-quart mixture).
Now I can for the first time in my life eat ice cream -- and regularly -- that is absolutely GOOD for me. I find that just a cup or two a day is usually all I want, because it is so SATISFYING.
Oh, and I also use raw egg yolks. It helps give the ice cream a better texture, but I am also very happy to do this because I believe that raw egg yolks are very good for me (although I would never use factory-farm eggs for this; only organic and preferably from local people who I know let their chickens graze in GMO-free pastures, give them love and would never feed them any GMO corn or other common feed ingredients that are becoming almost typically GMO -- that is, genetically modified. I never could stomach eating raw egg yolks "straight" and am so happy to have such a fun way to add them to my diet! (I'm also basically a raw foodist and cooking the eggs never felt totally agreeable to me.)
The ice cream is easy and fun to make with this ice cream maker. I am really thrilled to have this product! My only complaints are (1) the loud noise -- but it's liveable; and (2) so many times I have seen this product marketed as "stainless steel" with the excuse being that it is "stainless-steel-colored." That is poppycock. Just tell the truth, guys. I'm okay with aluminum because the product is cold and because I don't use metal utensils that would scratch and release aluminum from the canister -- but I really do NOT appreciate being lied to like that. I should give the product only 4 stars because of the deceptive marketing I have seen, but I'll give it 5 stars anyhow because I'm so glad to have it!
It's really sad all the health-robbing ingredients in store-bought ice cream. I'm so glad I get to make it myself now with relative ease!!

My new favorite appliance!
I wanted to be able to make ice cream using raw cows milk and organic cocoa. This is the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted, and there's no preservatives or hidden carcinogens. Definitely worth the buy, it's super easy to use. You have to freeze the bowl overnight and after churning the ice cream, freeze it a few more hours so it's nice and solid.I can't wait to try making all my favorite flavors!
