I am looking for an ice cream maker but not expensive. \r\nIs it possible to find a good machine for about $100-300?

I have White Mountain F69204. I use it for 10 years already, and had no problems, besides the motor leaking oil, but I think this is because the machine is old. Also it became more noisy than it was when I first got it. The machine does not have its own built-in freezing system, this is why it is inexpensive, I suppose, and making ice for it became a real trouble. On the whole it still works OK and makes great ice cream. My children like to watch it working

Yes, homemade ice cream is one of our greatest inventions!\r\n\r\nI purchased my Donvier Ice Cream Maker about a year ago on a garage sale, so it was not expensive. But I think you can buy it at a fairly cheap price in a store as well. It does not make a lot of ice cream but you need no ice, no salt for it. Very useful little home friend :lol:

Why don't you simply purchase Gelato Automatic? \r\nMy friend owns it and he is very pleased with it so far.

\r\n\r\nYes, Donvier is very simple to use. Tub should be frozen for about 8 hours, too long for me. One of the best features of this machine is that YOU control the ingredients. You can make fat free, sugar free, sorbet, just about anything you want. You are only limited by your imagination.

I bought it in amazon.com.\r\n\r\nQuite cheap, don't waist your money on more expensive ones unless you want to make a slightly bigger quantity. What it makes for our kids is quite enough. The kids are happy and make fun of making ice cream. They call it an icy angel ? Also it is very easy to clean.

Philips have always done great products.
