Ariete 693 Ice Cream Maker with LCD Display Gran Gelato metal-693, 135 W, Silver

Tasty icecream

I've had mine a year now and the only thing I regret is not getting a machine with a bigger capacity. I've probably used it 50-60 times and tend to use the simple Ben & Jerry base recipe made with raw eggs and less than 10 mins later it's in the mixer churning away. Takes from 45 mins to an hour to get it into roughly gelato consistency and a few hours to properly set. I usually make up around 1.5 litres and that will expand with air and the freezing process to 2 litres and do this in two sessions back-to back. Otherwise good value and would recommend.

This product is fantastic.Plastic casing aside it is a fantastic bit of kit.It is rather large and heavy but is dead easy to operate and performs the task for which it is intend with easeWay better than the cumbersome freezer bowl concept .Most if not all the positive reviews for freezer bowl concepts are seemingly the scripting of budding politiciansThe 1lt capacity has not been an issue for mePower rating to capacity ratio has made it a better option than other 1.5Lt machines in my opinionI have removed 2 stars only because the same item that was purchased is now being sold for £100.00 PLUS more than which I purchased it a week earlier.If the original price was an error then I was just plain lucky
