I bought the machine and now I notice that it never reaches -35 degrees. The absolute minimum is about -20 degrees, mostly -15. Is this normal or is the compressor on my machine not ok?
I have to admit that we have never measured the temperature. I would also say that it is barely -35 degrees. But the ice cream is always excellent, both in terms of consistency and temperature.
We have found, however, that it is not really worthwhile to keep the ice cream we make in the freezer. Obviously, these temperatures are far too low and the ice cream becomes rock hard. Since we know this, we enjoy the ice cream freshly made or plan enough time for it to thaw a bit in the fridge.
So, as a conclusion, I can only say that you have to look at the result. If the ice cream doesn't come out really airy and cool (usually after about an hour), then the compressor may indeed be wrong. Otherwise, just overlook it and enjoy. Like many others here ;-)
