The Marks and Spencer Ice Cream Maker is a 'fully' automatic ice cream maker, which means there is no bowl to be frozen overnight before using it. It contains a refridgeration unit which chills the bowl as it is churning and makes great ice cream or sorbet in about an hour. ===Features=== The machine is quite large due to the refridgeration unit. The main block of the machine is enclosed and there is a ice cream bowl, paddle, lid and motor unit that are all removable by pulling them out vertically. A small mini lid in the lid means ingredients can be added whilst the ice cream is churning. This mini lid is quite small and it can be a bit ...  Read the complete review

I had for several years been drooling over models such as the Gaggia, or Gelato ice cream makers but I could not justify spending so much and was in any case, a little worried that some of them had poor reviews and needed vodka or salt water to make them work properly. I stood in Marks and Spencer for about half an hour before finally buying the ice cream maker and it is fantastic. I have used it each day since I have bought it.

I first came across this ice cream maker on an advert on dooyoo while i was writing a review for my old one, Phillips Delizia. It's just luck really, because i was looking for an ice cream maker where you don't have to wait for a bowl to freeze for 12 hours as my ice cream became more demanded and i really wanted to be able to make more batches during the day. I really owe dooyoo one, because it's such a fantastic machine. It has a built-in cooling system, which is really convenient as you can make ice cream whenever you want as it instantly starts to cool down once you switch it on. For an ice cream maker with the ability to do this, it would be no less than ...  Read the complete review
