The Cuisinart ICE-30BCP1 is a domestic ice cream maker with a large 1.89 litre (2 quart) freezer bowl that needs to be frozen for at least 12 hours before it can be used. After nearly 7 years of use (this was the first ice cream machine I ever bought), I've found that it makes great ice cream that is smooth and creamy but does have just a few icy bits that are detectable in the mouth. It produces ice cream that isn't quite as smooth and creamy as the upgraded Cuisinart ICE-70P1. My only complaints are the noise this machine makes and the dasher, which could sit a bit closer to the bowl wall.
