It is a large financial jump for me, in the past I've paid up to $60 for an ice cream maker. The ones you find for under $100ish always have the freeze-bowl. Here's why I believe that if ice-cream is important to you for any reason, you should consider making the jump to $200ish for a machine/churner with its own compressor;
1) No need for a freeze-bowl. This means no longer making room in your freezer for the bowl. No longer timing it right to know the bowl will be fully frozen (they say 24 hours but in my experience it's been better to wait 2 days). This means no longer getting only one shot at ice cream for that once-frozen bowl. These freeze-bowls only stay cold enough for one round, so if you want to try 2+ flavors on the same day, and/or involve more than 2 people, too bad. Using a machine that has its own compressor means you only need to combine the ingredients, set the timer (it defaults to 60min, but you can shorten the timer. I've found it takes between 20-30 min depending on your ratios of fat and liquid) and enjoy, plus enjoy the ability to immediately make another round, and one after another until you pass out XD
2) Customization of ingredients. I have a very specific and boring detailed story of how I came to decide that a $200 ice cream machine is an investment toward my quality of life. But it all can be boiled down to having better, quality food and control over ingredients used. Anyone that loves ice cream but also has severe food allergies should not hesitate to put this on your life. Sure, you can bake desserts yourself and control those foods at home, but even basic, crappy ice cream is expensive, so if you can only consume ice cream that meets a certain criteria, this is the answer.
All that, plus the use of stainless steel (easy to clean), it makes up to one pint (a bit more) at a time, and doesn't take much space or electricity. If you enjoy frozen, slushie cocktails, this machine can do that as well. My goal has been to find the right recipe for any type of frozen dessert whether plant-based or dairy, which means a lot of happy experimentation :)

Whynter ICM-128WS vs Cuisinart ICE-100 - Compact, Fast, Silent, and comes with Stainless Steel bowl
I've owned the Cuisinart ICE-100 for about six months and recently decided to buy another ice cream maker for an extended family member. Initially, I considered purchasing the same model, but then I discovered that Whynter offers a unit with a smaller footprint. Despite the Whynter (ICM-128WS) being about 5 inches taller, it occupies roughly half of the countertop space compared to the Cuisinart model. However, upon opening the lid, I was somewhat disappointed with the size of the ice cream bowl. Although the specifications indicated only a 0.22-quart difference, the Whynter bowl seemed significantly smaller than the Cuisinart's. On a positive note, the Whynter bowl is made of stainless steel, unlike the aluminum bowl from Cuisinart. This is quite important to me because it means the Whynter bowl can be washed in the dishwasher if desired. Here are the key points from my comparison of the two models.Whynter ICM-128WS vs Cuisinart ICE-100Released 2022.1 vs 2012.1Aesthetic Small footprint vs x2 footprint compared to WhynterIcecream volume Max 1.28qt vs on spec 1.5qt(max1.65)qtBowl Material Stainless steel vs AluminumNoise level 62.2 dB vs 77.8 dB (lower is better)Weight 19.25 lbs. vs 27.2.lbsI simultaneously made 3 cups of ice cream with both the Whynter and the Cuisinart units. The Whynter completed its cycle in 41 minutes, whereas the Cuisinart took 52 minutes to reach the desired ice cream texture. This outcome puzzled me because, according to the specifications, the Cuisinart, which uses more power, should have been faster in producing ice cream.After using both machines, I would strongly recommend the Whynter model for several reasons. It's a newer model, has a much smaller footprint, is efficient, operates more quietly, and is lighter. For my family of four, the 1.28-quart capacity provides enough ice cream for all of us. Additionally, the stainless steel ice cream bowl is a significant advantage for me because my Cuisinart’s aluminum bowl already has acquired many dents.I hope my review is helpful to potential future buyers.Enjoy the sweets!
