"...It really is foolproof and just about any ice cream recipe you have can be made in it...." Read more

206 customers mention "Noise level"99 positive107 negative

Customers have different views on the ice cream maker's noise level. Some find it quiet and perfect in volume after ice cream is finished, while others mention it makes noise but it's not the type that sends you racing. They also mention moisture and squeaking from day one.

"...Very easy to get started, noise level is very reasonable, user interface is straightforward and intuition based...." Read more

"...Second, this product was quiet. There is an electric motor involved causing some noise, but not nearly as loud as I expected...." Read more

"...It is certainly much less noisy than hand cranking with ice and rock salt. And none of the mess, either!..." Read more

"...The motor does get a bit louder before stopping but starts at its normal volume with the next batch...." Read more

5 out of 5 stars
So far, so good.
I just received this machine a couple of days ago. I spent some time reading and watching reviews on the top machines with a built-in compressor and finally settled on this one on an Amazon Black Friday deal.. I let the machine set overnight to allow the compressor fluids to settle down. Meanwhile, I cooked up a batch of French vanilla ice cream base to pour into the machine the next day. Following directions, I did just that and set the timer for 35 minutes for a 1.2 quart batch of ice cream and hit the start button. At the end of that time, I had a nice batch of soft serve ice cream and it was DELICIOUS! As I have read, it beats the pants off anything I could buy at the grocery store and for about 30% less cost. I ate only one scoop, then put the rest in the freezer overnight to harden up. Today.....ice cream bliss! It fulfilled all of my expectations. Win-win! Easy to make fantastic premium ice cream and at a cost a little better than the best the store had to offer! Now, I've only made one batch and only had it for two days, so I can't speak for the longevity of this ice cream machine. Time will tell. But, so far, so good! Tip: Getting the ice cream out of the machine bucket was a little messy, so I suggest doing it over a sink when transferring ice cream to freezer container. Also, don't use a metal implement. Use plastic or wooden spoon so you don't scratch the bucket.

    Works great, cools very quick and makes ice cream quick. Very fun to use and tastes great. Only downside is compressor turns off after a certain amount of time to cool down, so you can't just continuously make ice cream for hour straight - but it turns back on within a few minutes and gets cold fast.

    This product is great in functionality, size, price, and maintenance. Functionality - pour in milk, add sugar, add vanilla extract, wait an hour, yes, it's ice cream time. Size - it's a little bigger than an oven, but not that big. Price - quite affordable between $200 and $300. Maintenance - the entire holder can be easily removed and cleaned in a dishwasher. My two children really love this machine and I just need to remind them not to make and eat too much ice cream.

    Size: 2.1 QuartColor: Stainless SteelVerified Purchase
    I've been using one of the "freeze-the-bowl" type ice cream makers for a few years now. I have always thought it would be nice to have a machine with a compressor, especially when I want to make two batches of ice cream and don't want to wait 18-24 hours in between each batch for the bowl to re-freeze. To my delight, my spouse surprised me with this Whynter ice cream maker with the built-in compressor. I could not wait to try it out. So far it has been a dream. It is easy to use, and the instructions are clear. Push the power button, set the time, and go! I first started with a Philadelphia style vanilla (because that is my go-to ice cream). I was pleased that from start to finish in this machine it took only 28 minutes to freeze. Next, I decided to try a French style (custard based) ice cream and made a chocolate hazelnut, as I wondered if the different ingredients would make a difference in the freeze time. I cooled the base in the refrigerator first, as is instructed for any machine, and whipped up this second batch shortly after the first. This type of ice cream only took about 27 minutes to reach the soft serve consistency. I was thrilled that I could make 2 batches of ice cream in the same morning! The bowl is easy to clean and I love that it is not still frozen when trying to clean it. This machine will also make sorbet and frozen drinks. Definitely a keeper, and I cannot wait to try my next batch.

    Over the years, I've used several different kinds of ice cream makers - sometimes hand-cranked, some with an electric churning paddle - but they've all had either buckets that needed to be filled with ice and rock salt, or a container that needed to sit in the freezer at least overnight to prepare to make ice cream. This Whynter machine is the first I've had that is entirely self-contained. Thanks to the built-in refrigeration unit, making ice cream is a snap. Just prepare your recipe, pour the mixed ingredients into the churn, and press the "start" button. Within an hour, your ice cream is ready to go - either enjoy the soft-serve texture as it comes out of the churn, or pack it into a container and let it sit for a few hours to harden up a bit. Cleanup is a snap - the churn, paddle, and lid all are removeable for easy clean up.
    The instruction manual is basic but simple (the machine is not hard at all to operate) and it also comes with a booklet of basic ice cream recipes. It really is foolproof and just about any ice cream recipe you have can be made in it. The control panel uses words and icons to tell you what is going on in there and many of the settings can be adjusted to tweak your procedure.

    It's great fun and takes a TON of the work out of making homemade ice cream. If you're a member of the extremely niche market of people who make their own frozen dairy concoctions, this is the machine to buy.

    A few observations:
    The machine comes in a really big box. I was afraid I might not have a place for it in the kitchen. Opening it revealed a foam inner liner and ANOTHER box, the actual box the ice cream freezer comes in. When you finally get the machine unpacked and settled where you want it, I recommend you allow it to stand without starting it up for at least 24 hours. That box might be sitting on your porch right-side-up, but you don't know that it rolled up to you on the truck that way. Letting the unit sit undisturbed will ensure that the compressor won't be damaged when you start your first freeze cycle.

    Scale your recipes down so that you are using a maximum of five cups of ingredients. Ice cream expands as it's churned, and I've found that if you use too much the ice cream will try to creep over the edge of the churn.

    The default settings on the control panel have been perfect for my first few batches of ice cream, but as I get more experience playing with the Whynter, I'll probably do more fiddling around with them.

    It is better to add your "mix ins" when the ice cream is still somewhat soft and removed from the churn and being packed into a container. The churn is very inefficient when adding things like chocolate chips, and too efficient for adding swirls of, for example, butterscotch.

    When my wife asked for one of these, I was less than enthusiastic. Another small appliance for the kitchen? Is that really necessary? We do eat a lot of ice cream, though. Also, we have a child with food allergies. The flexibility of our own ingredients in our food was appealing. After eating more than my share of the first batch, there are some things that potential buyers should know. First, this machine is fast. I wasn't ready for how quickly the ice cream was ready. Second, this product was quiet. There is an electric motor involved causing some noise, but not nearly as loud as I expected. Third, this machine is clean. No salt, ice, melting water, or even a need to monitor the unit. It just does its thing. Our first batch was chocolate with peanut butter Oreos. The only commercial comparison I can offer is Tillamook in its creamy smoothness. Two trips to Italy and eating artisan gelato have turned my family into ice cream snobs. This machine has made possible the maintenance of our high standards.

    Por el momento llevo 3 tandas y solo la uso para elaborar sorbetes y helados, me encanta el resultado del producto, al principio tenía mis dudas, pero me animé a comprarla, no me arrepiento de pedirla, estoy contento, posteriormente haré mis pruebas con la incubación de yogurt, saludos.
    Para las personas que tiene fallas de el enfriamiento o se les rompe la pala, lean bien el instructivo, procuren secar bien el equipo para que el agua que quede residual en su equipo, esté haga que se congele y se quede pegado, es un equipo bueno pero sensible, procurar seguir las instrucciones del uso.

    This product is probably the best you’ll get for a non-commercial machine. You can tell it’s high quality when you turn it on from the sound of the motor. It sounds like an industrial fridge. Not loud. You can just hear the power of the motor.

    Tengo 2 años con ella y funciona perfectamente. Tengo negocio de nieves en la colonia y he vendido más de 300 litros. Sí es ruidosa y no es muy cómodo sacar el producto terminado pero te acostumbras a eso. La recomiendo si tu producción es baja.
