Ice cream makers: Best Buys 

Want to make ice cream at home?

We've put best-selling models through our exhaustive performance, taste and convenience tests, to separate the iced gems from the slush puppies. There’s no sure-fire design that makes a good machine but our Best Buy reviews mean you can be sure of finding chilled perfection.

• We've made 72 batches of ice cream to ensure you buy a model that works every time
• We look at how much ice cream each machine produces so you don't have to make multiple batches
• Best Buys make great tasting ice cream and are easy and quick to use, saving you time and effort

Ice cream maker reviews you can trust

Our lab tests, which assess each ice cream maker on how quick and easy it is to use and the taste, texture, aroma and appearance of the ice cream it makes, ensure you buy an ice cream maker that's fun and simple to use, not an added chore.

Which? is independent - we work for you, the consumer, so you can be sure that our product recommendations are influenced only by our test results. We don't take advertising and we buy all the products that we test. This means that as well as recommending great products, we can highlight the ones to avoid.
