Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of VillaWare V5100 Classic Ice Cream & Gelato Maker, Electric
Customer Review: One star for managing two batches
Summary: 1 Stars
For the price and a reasonable set of expectations, this was a decent little ice cream maker. Note my use of the past tense. A small crack developed on the beater during the second batch, and the third batch never even got started--the beater's vanes completely sheared off.
If they manage to send me a new beater that can last for more than a few churns, I'll probably change my tune. As things stand, though, this basically just amounts to the most I've ever paid for a half-gallon of ice cream.
Description of VillaWare V5100 Classic Ice Cream & Gelato Maker, Electric
With the VillaWare Ice Cream Maker you can make up to a quart of hard or soft ice cream or frozen yogurt You can also make sherbet, gelato, sorbet, ices and frozen drinks. Just 20-30 minutes is all it takes for making quality, healthy frozen creations. Upscale design with sturdy, stainless steel housing. Ingredient bowls can be pre-frozen. Motorized drive to blend ingredients easily. Two speed selections for different consistencies.Sleeker and more compact than many models on the market, the VillaWare electric ice cream maker turns out a quart of creamy frozen confection in just 25 minutes. The machine can be used for ice cream, gelato, sherbet, sorbet, or frozen drinks, and its operation is simple since the insulated bowl is designed for pre-freezing and even temperature distribution. Simply place the bowl on top of the base, add ingredients, position the cover, and turn on power. A basic switch offers both low and high speeds, ideal for hard and soft ice cream, respectively. Used together--first low then high--the settings help blend ingredients before stirring them until frozen.
Sturdily constructed, the ice cream maker features a circular base with manageable weight and stainless-steel housing. The motorized drive is powerful and quiet, and the skid-free underside keeps operation stable. VillaWare's 1-quart freezer bowl is markedly well-made with double-insulated construction. Complete with a 2-inch opening for adding ingredients, the durable clear plastic cover lets you see at a glance how your dessert is progressing. This is helpful, since the maker does not include timers or signals of any sort. The unit measures 8-3/4 inches in diameter and stands 11-1/2 inches high; a power cord storage slot keeps the countertop tidy. All removable parts can be washed in warm, soapy water. VillaWare includes a one-year warranty and a booklet of recipes ranging from Eggnog Ice Cream to Kiwi Sorbet. --Emily Bedard
