The 10 Best Ice Cream Machines – Guide

Pure luxury at home is to be able to prepare ice cream like from the ice cream parlor. An ice cream maker makes it possible and is already available at relatively low prices. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make and enjoy creamy ice cream within an hour in the summer? In the long run, it also saves you money.

What you should know before buying, you will find in our checklist. Finally, our product recommendations for ice cream machines will help you make the right choice.

Checklist For Ice Machines

Ice cream machine with and without compressor
  • There are two different models to choose from for your home ice cream production. There are machines with and without compressor.
  • An ice cream machine without a compressor works with cooling accumulators, which provide the optimal temperature in the cooling container. These quiet models come in a small format with dimensions of about 20 x 20 x 20 centimeters. A rechargeable battery must pre-cool between eight and 24 hours for the preparation of ice in the double-walled cooling container. The small devices that have space in your refrigerator are available for a price of about 55 euros. However, with an ice cream maker without a compressor, you can only make one type of ice cream at a time. Most of these simple square and round models are designed in silver and black colors.
  • Much more functional are ice machines with compressors, which are ready to use directly. The relatively noisy compressor provides the necessary cold below the freezing point. Due to the integrated compressor, these practical models are heavier and almost twice as large as the machines with a cooling battery. On the other hand, you can make your favorite ice cream several times in a row with a machine with a compressor. With some models, depending on the ice cream recipe, you can enjoy the cold delicacy after only half an hour. Like the small ice cream machines with rechargeable batteries, the models with compressors are mainly designed in matte and shiny silver tones as well as in the color black. The machines, which weigh an average of eleven kilograms, are available for a price of around 150 euros.
Volume And Cleaning
  • The ice machines available for private use, both with and without a compressor, have a volume of between one and three liters.
  • When it comes to cleaning, models that can be conveniently taken apart are a good choice. After use, all parts that have come into contact with the ice should be thoroughly cleaned.
Accessories
  • Accessories such as storage containers, recipe books and ice cream portioners should be included with the ice cream maker.
