4.0 out of 5 stars Cuisinart ICE-50BC Ice Cream maker, September 9, 2006

By	J. Franke "Ice cream lover" (Santa Ysabel, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been using this ice cream maker since June-2006. It makes very good ice cream and it is very easy compared to other ice cream makers I have had in the past (not Cuisinart). It is nice not to have to bother to freeze the mixing bowl beforehand. However, one thing that I do not understand is why the motor has to be so noisy. It is by far the noisiest apppliance I have ever owned. So, if that is going to bother you I would suggest buying another machine. It is so loud that I can't listen to my kitchen tv while it is running. It seems to quiet down a little when the ice cream starts to thicken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good tools is the rule, July 10, 2009

By	Nicolette Plynton "Oza9" (Brooklyn) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So far I am quite pleased with this product. My friends, (2 culinary classmates), were so impressed with the product I achieved, they decided they wanted to make their own ice cream.
They bought the under $100 Cuisinart ice cream machines. You do get what you've payed for. Their ice cream came out soup because they thought they could follow what I did. Turns out they have to freeze some container for 24 hours before using it....
WHY? I ordered the BC-50 Commercial. (payed $240 thru Amazon) I can make
a new batch every hour non-stop. No extra steps. It is SOOO simple to
use and maintain this machine. It makes about 1.25 Quarts per batch. I
am experimenting with flavor profiles constantly, so this is perfect for
me as a culinary student.
I will say that the plastic cover lid (ONLY plastic component) has a lip locking into the churning arm. This tiny plastic piece broke off after 3
weeks of regular use. However, I called Cuisinart and they shipped me a replacement lid IMMEDIATELY. They have really great customer service and
the best warranty for parts (3 years), as well as the best warranty for the
motors (5 years). If they made that lid out of metal like the rest of the machine, I believe it would last forever.
I dig it.

I bought the Cuisinart commercial ice cream maker. After reading all the reviews and reading the instructions, I made sherbet. It was the easiest and best sherbet I've ever made and delicious. If you read and follow the instructions, you should have no trouble making the best ice cream you have ever made. My machine was delivered sitting on it's side and I let it sit upright for 24 hours before using as recommended. The only issue I have and it was stated in other reviews, is that the paddle and top are made of plastic, so be careful handling these parts. All in all, I am delighted that I bought this machine.
