Ice-cream makers on trial

What would summer be without ice cream? With an ice cream maker, you can make this tasty dessert quickly and easily at home. In "falstaff" magazine, it's all about food, wine and travel. This month, the editorial team tested 6 ice-cream makers. Find out which machines in our range were the most convincing when it came to delivering delicious ice cream at the touch of a button.
The test
Four machines with a refrigeration compressor were tested. Rather like a refrigerator, it already cools the mass during preparation. Two models with cold accumulators were also tested. These were placed in the freezer for 24 hours before preparation. Admittedly, ice-cream makers with compressors are more expensive to buy, but can be used spontaneously thanks to their electric cooling.
The appliances have been tested according to the ice cream prepared as well as the use. The preparation time recommended by the manufacturer was adhered to.
Test results
Here is the ranking of the appliances tested by "falstaff", available in our range.

3rd place: design freezer with touch screen
Advantages: good ice consistency after just 30 minutes / informative screen / large volume (2l) / large opening with lid

My home is decorated with little gems I find in thrift shops and at flea markets. When I’m having one of my big DIY moments, my creativity is unleashed. Both the mountains and the seaside restore my inner balance. With a snowboard or surfboard under my feet, I’m happy.
