Amazon.com Review
Fully automatic and precisely controlled by a timer, this machine takes the trouble and guesswork out of making ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, gelato, and frozen drinks at home. Ingredients go into the bowl, the timer is set, two buttons are pressed and about 30 minutes later 1-1/2 quarts of a frozen confection are ready for consumption. Because the machine doesn't require its bowl to be frozen for hours in a refrigerator's freezer (like less expensive machines that only churn), it can immediately begin making another batch. If a batch becomes too hard the machine shuts off automatically. Not only does it work professionally it looks the part, as the housing, bowl, and paddle are made of stainless steel for sanitation and easy cleaning. The 100-watt machine measures 12 inches wide, 11 inches high, and 18 inches deep, and it weighs 38 pounds. Made it Italy, it carries a one-year warranty against defects. An instruction booklet with many recipes is included. --Fred Brack

Disappointing
I consider myself an experienced ice cream maker. Having a cow at home and three-five gallons of milk daily to "use up", I've made hundreds of quarts of ice cream over the last 20 years. Hence, my last ice cream maker was the White Mountain Creamery machine which required rock salt and ice. It was the fourth ice cream maker I burnt out. I figured, given the reviews-I'd shoot for this one. The concept was awesome-no more ice and rock salt! However, there is one HUGE fault with the machine. The mechanism stirs the mix rather than folding it. Thereby, very little air if any, really, enters the mix and the result is very dense ice cream that is not as palatable-it's simply dry. The flavor is good, but it just doesn't have good mouth-feel. I'm stuck with this machine right now. So, I'm testing recipes and techniques including whipping up the mix a bit before putting it in the freezer itself. Hopefully, I can find a way to not only have an ice cream that has great flavor but that sits on my tongue nicely too. Thus far, the White Mountain Creamery machine created the best ice cream. Only go with a single recipe-I burned it out when I made a double batch of chocolate.

Lello 4080 1.5 ice cream maker
We recieved the product quickly & was in tip top shape. Tried it out soon after & was very surprised how quiet it was. It got noisy at the end. That was good because it tipped us off it was near the end of it's cycle. So far so good.

Easy as 123
Is it really this simple to make good ice cream? With the Lello 4080 Musso Lussino 1.5-Quart Ice Cream Maker, it is.

It couldn't be simpler, just mix the ingredients, set the timer, and push 2 buttons. In a half hour you've got ice cream.

The only drawback is that you can't remove the bowl for cleaning.
