 Magimix Gelato Chef ice cream maker June 16, 2008

A wonderful machine, especially for the price. After having used the Magimix 1.1Ltr ice cream machine; the type you have to pre-freeze and having fantastic results, I decided to go for this one for a couple of reasons. The first being that you do not have to pre-freeze; the machine is always ready. The second being that you do not have to make space in your freezer for the bowl. Yes, it does get a bit noisy when the mix starts to thicken but it isn't for long. It is a small price to pay for delicious, fresh ice cream with no preservatives, colouring, flavouring or any other e-numbers. The build quality I feel is quite substantial and have had no problems with parts breaking or jamming. Using the removable bucket makes the machine a doddle to clean, which I would recommend whichever machine you use. As far as storing in a cupboard, there is no reason why this cannot be done. The machine has to settle for 12 hours after it has been inverted and thrown around during transit; just lifting it in and out of a cupboard would not require it to settle but it is quite weighty.
A good machine January 8, 2008

I am not clear why some reviews are not very favourable for this machine.
I have had this machine for about 3 months now and it works very well.
It makes excellent professional quality ice cream.
Its easy to clean, I use the removable bucket as its easier to clean.
In fact I purchased another bucket + paddle + spindle so that I could keep the production line going!
If you read the instructions and follow some simple hygene rules you will have no problems with this machine.
You could argue the paddle motor is perhaps not as robust as it should be, but then again this is a domestic rated machine.
If you need to be using an ice cream machine every day then go and get a professional rated machine that can stand the rigours of daily use.
I suspect this machine is not actually made by Magimix but is badge engineered for them.
But still a good machine and Magimix have a good support system in the UK.
 Too noisy to use November 20, 2007

The ice cream it makes is great. I have had no issues with the spindle or parts breaking, but like another reviewer I found it difficult to clean, so I use the separate bowl - but that means the ice cream takes about an hour to make. BUT I hardly use the machine because of the noise it makes when churning. It is far louder than my washing machine on full spin and I find it difficult to stay in the kitchen when it's running.

I am a professional chef, and at my work place we have an 800 ice-cream machine. Of course it is great and the results are what you would expect to get from a machine of this price. It produces 1 1/2 ltrs of ice cream in about 30 Min's. I recently had my birthday, and my family bought me the Gelato 2200. It's great. The size of the the bowl is adequate for a domestic situation. The size of the machine is perfect. It sits on my work surface at home without taking up too much space. I used to have a pre-freeze machine which was rubbish, because it would defrost before the ice-cream was ready. I have produced quality ice-cream equal to that of my work. What do you people want when it doesn't produce ice-cream in 20-30 Min's!It takes the same time as an episode of Ready Steady Cook. Well may be a bit longer. Who cares anyway how long it takes. Just make sure the base is made the day before and put it in the fridge to make sure it's really cold. If you want instant results go to the supermarket. Read the ingredients on a tub of manufactured ice-cream and then realise why home made is worth waiting for. If you use a good recipe and fine ingredients, then I see no reason why you can't produce a fantastic ice-cream. You can make Ben and Jerry look like Mr.Whippy!

I have just returned this machine having had an entirely frustrating experience trying to use it. Having previously had a magimix model where you put the bowl in the freezer which I used successfully for years I was looking forward to upgrading to an integrated freezer-model and doing away with the hassale of pre-freezing. I was disappointed to see the same small plastic spindle was part of this much more expensive machine. In the end after attempting to make 4 batches of ice-cream I returned it. Each time the ice-cream began to thicken the motor which turns the paddle (via the spindle) detached itself from the bowl and began running backwards! None of the parts seemed particuarly robust. The result very lumpy, part-made ice-cream. The reviews of the Gaggia machine seem much better and don't point to anything seriously wrong with that machine so I will probably invest in that.
