Overview
A countertop with space for a small upright appliance is where this Whynter belongs, because its built-in compressor chills the batch as it churns. A removable stainless steel bowl, a churn blade and a scoop come in the box.
Making batch after batch without pre-freezing a bowl is the reason to look at it, and it handles ice cream, gelato and sorbet. The limitation is weight and the hand wash care, since the machine is a full compressor unit.
Who it's for
Frequent dessert makers and hosts who run several batches in a row will use the compressor. Occasional users, or anyone short on counter and storage space, should consider a lighter freezer-bowl machine.
Pros and cons
- Compressor needs no pre-freezing
- Makes ice cream, gelato and sorbet
- LCD display and timer
- Motor protection function
- Heavy for a countertop appliance
- Hand wash only
- Batch time not listed
Performance notes
A compressor cools the bowl continuously, so the mixture freezes while the blade churns and several batches can run without a break. The extended cooling function holds the dessert cold after churning, and motor protection stops the motor if the mixture becomes too stiff to turn.
