Overview

Breville built the Smart Scoop around twelve hardness settings and parts that lift out. It makes ice cream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt in automatic or manual modes.

Hardness control is the standout feature, letting you stop churning at soft-serve or firm scoop stages. The limit is bulk and batch size, since it is a large unit with one bowl for a modest quantity.

Who it's for

A well-equipped kitchen or small cafe counter where the machine can stay out is the setting. Apartment cooks short on space may find it too large.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Twelve hardness settings
  • Four dessert types
  • Removable bowl and paddle
  • Cleaning brush included
Cons
  • Large and heavy unit
  • Cleaning steps only in the booklet

Performance notes

Texture depends on the hardness setting, which tells the machine when to stop churning. The bowl and paddle come off so washing never touches the motor, and manual mode lets you take control.
