Customer Reviews
Also Makes the Lello Gelato Pro 4090
Look at the reviews of the Lello Gelato Pro 4090, Whynter makes them for Lello under a private label. Its a great Machine.
Tentatively pleased
I was close to buying the Lello equivalent (made by the same company), but decided to try the Whynter. It's much cheaper, and seems to have very similar specifications. I've used it twice and I've been very pleased with results. I'm not especially impressed by the engineering, and therefore can only give it 3 stars currently. My main displeasure is that the lid cannot be washed, and the items that _can_ be washed must all be hand washed. I think that's just lame. Unit is reasonably quiet. I'll update this review in a few months. I've uploaded 10 photographs, too, and added some notes to each that might help you decide whether this machine is a good choice for you.
Good product, sparse instructions.
Construction is solid. I haven't been able to confirm that this is the same as the Lello Gelato Pro, but the specs are the same, as is the appearance ('cept color). Packaging was poor for such a heavy appliance, and was only marginally holding together when the product arrived. However, the unit was in fine shape and works fine. The instruction manual does little to explain all the beep codes that the unit makes, but you'll figure them out in short order. There were times that the refrigeration shut off, and we were puzzled as to why. If it does stop (hard to tell, you get no indication except that your mixture doesn't freeze and the exhaust air on the side is cool), turn off the power and unplug for a minute and it will reset. If you have a power outage or remove the churn motor assembly while running, the refrigeration will shut off. It's a sensible feature, just not documented.
Overall, this is a huge step up from makers using a bowl you put in the freezer. It's by far the best bang/buck in a maker with built-in refrigeration. I deducted one star for the incomplete instruction book.
