## Overview

## Description

The Whynter Upright Automatic Ice Cream Maker with Built-In Compressor gets the most out of a crowded counter. It holds your mixture in a stainless steel housing that stands vertically instead of spreading sideways, so a larger batch does not cost you more workspace than a small one would. A built-in compressor is the difference between planning dessert a day ahead and making it now. It freezes the mix while the blade turns, so there is no pre-freezing step and no waiting between batches when one flavor is not enough. Motor protection function guards the drive if the mixture stiffens faster than expected, and a high efficiency compressor keeps pulling temperature down at the stage when most machines start to struggle. The stylish upright design is deliberate. Standing tall rather than spreading wide keeps the counter footprint small, which matters in a kitchen where every square inch is already committed. A removable stainless bowl lifts out for serving and cleanup and the BPA-free churn blade separates for a quick rinse, so easy-to-clean is a fact rather than a claim. Beyond ice cream, the same machine turns out smooth gelato and sharp sorbet, making it a frozen dessert maker rather than a single-trick appliance. A compact sleek design keeps it from crowding an already busy worktop. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in California, Whynter designs specialty home appliances that combine innovation, portability, and dependable performance. From air comfort solutions and refrigeration to culinary and lifestyle appliances, every product is thoughtfully engineered to maximize convenience, efficiency, and space utilization without compromising quality or style. Whynter believes the best appliances simplify everyday life, helping people enjoy greater comfort wherever they need it most. Backed by a commitment to lasting performance and customer satisfaction, Whynter continues to develop modern solutions that fit seamlessly into today's homes and lifestyles.

Review: All that I expected. - Ordered July 24, arrived July 25. Well packed and everything looks great. High quality, solid and feels like a commercial machine. July 26, followed all instructions, let sit overnight, cleaned everything as suggested. Turned it on and all controls work, very crisp, nice beep. It just feels good. Prepared my first batch using the exact same recipe I used in a freezer bowl style maker so I could compare. I let the compressor run for about 10 minutes to cool the bowl before adding the blended mixture. I liked the temperature readout; it is a good sign that it's working. Then the magic began avter about 10 minutes it starte to freeze and withing 35 minutes it was almost done. A little sample told me it was delicious and another 5 minutes it was the perfect consistancy. I transfered the ice cream into a container with lid and put it in the freezer, putting the remainer into a bowl whicih I also put in the freezer for testing. This machine, based on my first use is everything I expected. It is a quality build, easy to use and very easy to clean. It is not as heavy as some suggest and it is very quiet, just a low hum if even that, not enough to affect anything. The instruction booklet is very clear and precise and the recipe book, although basic is a good place for beginners. I have an excellant recipe book from which I plan to make the Tiramisu Ice Cream very soon. Definitely recommend this is you want to make several batches for friends or a party. In fact, if you invite people over you can provide a few recipes, have the ingredients for them, and you can make their favorites to order. Quicker than cooking burgers and hot dogs almost. Have fun, and with my grandchildren it will be a fun activity for dinner, or lunch or even breakfast.
Review: Received a used product, but it works wonderfully. - I was unsure of how to rate the stars on this one. The product that was delivered was clearly used. I paid for new. However, it does work perfectly. And I have had no issues, at least none that were not caused by me. So I'm giving it 5 stars since it is a review of the product itself, and not fulfillment. I have used the ice cream maker about 5 times so far and it produces excellent ice cream. I have used recipes from Jeni's cookbook, Dana Cree, Salt & Straw, and Polar Ice Creamery. 2 ice creams, 2 sorbets and a Sherbet. The texture was much better than my old canister style ice cream maker. Depending on how long my mixture has chilled beforehand, sometimes i only need to churn 20 minutes, sometimes longer. One recipe I let run a bit too long and it was very whipped and airy, but had ice crystals after freezing. I love that the cord is a decent length. It enabled me to put the machine in a permanent location and not have to move it every time I want to use it. The machine is louder than expected, but not an issue for me. All of the parts are easy to clean. One important note.. Do not overfill! It will churn and churn but not freeze properly. I overfilled on one batch and thought it was the machine but after removing some of the mixture and starting over, it was fine. I have better results with 1 qt amounts rather than 2 qt. That's fine, a 1 qt recipe is more than enough, and the machine can easily do back to back batches if I need more than that. I'm very happy with this ice cream maker and look forward to using it for many years. I only wish I had been sent a brand new, unopened package. Thankfully it wasn't a gift. Photos to show condition on arrival.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic-why didn't I start making homemade before now?
*by I***S on August 13, 2017*

I've had mine for a couple of weeks too, and I think it's fantastic. A couple of things- -- I know it shows in the manual that the mixture should not go above these things on each side of the churner, BUT I found it better be a half inch BELOW that. It still gets on the underside of the plastic cover as it churns, but then at least it keeps the mix a bit lower and stops any chance of overflowing the bowl. I actually think it wouldn't matter anyway as the bowl seems to sit in a pretty tightly gasketed ring, so maybe I'm being overly cautious. Either way, I'm still quite happy to get 2 Qts (4 pints) of really good ice cream instead of the 2.5 Qts it claims to make. To get the most actual ice cream out of it, add any mix-ins (choco chips, nuts etc) into it AFTER it has finished freeze churning. When it's done churning, it is soft serve consistency... so I turn it out into a big bowl, THEN I mix in the mix ins (gently so as not to incorporate a lot of ice crystal forming air into it). Then I pack it in pint containers tightly, (using the handy plastic flat spatula thing that came with the machine), cover with a circle of parchment paper against the top of the ice cream, and put them all away in the freezer at least overnight. --- If your ingredients are cold (should not be frozen) when they go into the churn bowl, it can take substantially less time than the 60 minute timer is set to default for. If you come back in 60 minutes and the machine is not still churning, it has probably stopped churning and already gone into 'just chill' mode. This will make it more difficult to get the churn bowl out. That plastic spatula thing that comes with the machine is handy here. First try to hold the handle on both sides of the bowl close to the bowl's top (instead of at the top of the handle) at both of the handle's hinges. Try to pull straight up wiggling a tiny bit. If your churning stopped minutes before and it went into keep cold mode, that bowl will be really tightly held to the frozen sides of the machine. Take the flat spatula thing and (GENTLY) put it between the very top of the bowl and the side of the machine it's against (BUT ONLY about 1/4 inch down!!) and move it back and forth. It will sort of break a vacuum hold. Do it 4 or 5 more times in different places around the bowl and then try again to pull it up. Just be careful not to jam that thing down too far or back and forth to hard. This has always worked for me with no apparent damage to anything. Most of my ice cream recipes include 2 TBS of some kind of liqueur (raspberry, hazelnut, coffee, cherry etc) which will help it from getting so rock hard. It shouldn't be added until the last few minutes of churning, as it can affect the freezing too early) OR after churning and after it's gone into another bowl to add mix ins to, before packing (my preferred method). Commercial ice cream has up to 25 percent more air whipped into it- more money for the manufacturers for less actual product- which makes it more 'fluffy' and also less hard in storage. You can leave the liqueur out of course- either way your homemade will be more dense (more flavorful if you ask me). As to the hardness- 2 things can help- keep it in a freezer that's part of your fridge as opposed to an upright or chest type freezer. Or.... don't worry about any of it, and just leave the pint out on the kitchen counter to soften a tad, for 10 minutes, before you dig in. OR dig it out when rock hard, put in a bowl and microwave for 10 seconds or so. You really can't go too wrong, right? The very few recipes that come with the machine (in the manual) are pretty useless to me (for the egg reason). I went on their web site but couldn't even find any there. I got 5 books from Amazon for ice cream recipes (and sorbets, sherbets, etc). Since I make egg free ice creams only (since 'custard-style' recipes are WAY TOO MUCH work with the cooking and tempering the eggs with the dairy), I have found only one book that has more great egg free (also known as 'Philadelphia style') recipes. That was the 'Perfect Scoop' by David Lebovitz. Very nice book, great recipes, great photos. A favorite recent recipe I made was Peach, Vanilla, Pecan ice cream- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk; 1 pint (16 oz) of half and half; 3 cups of uncooked peach puree made from unpeeled (but washed), pitted & chopped peaches pureed in a bowl using an immersion blender; 1 TBS vanilla; 2 TBS raspberry liqueur (added along with the nuts AFTER it came out of the churning bowl into another bowl before packing); 1 cup chopped pecans. I'm sorry to say I don't remember how much this made (ounce wise), or whether I might have also added al cup of whole milk to it also. But the combo of sweetened condensed milk, half and half and whole milk is a great EASY way to get ice cream fast. For chocolate= instead of the peaches- add 4-5 TBS dutch process (dark, european-style) cocoa and 1/4 cup of hersheys syrup, with 2 teaspoons of vanilla, to the dairy combo. Instead of nuts, add in (after freezing & churning and turning out into another bowl) 1/2 to a cup of mini chocolate chips and instead of raspberry liqueur add 2 TBS of Kalua (coffee liqueur) either a few minutes at the end of churning, or with the chips. Don't be afraid to TASTE the mix before you freeze/churn it!! There are no eggs so it's safe to taste- it can then be most to your liking (less vanilla etc). I must say this taller machine fits much better in my kitchen than the wider would. It is quite heavy (as all compressor machines are), so it's not something you want to put on a lower shelf to pull up to the counter to use. But all summer long, this sucker will be sitting on my counter and will be keeping me in ice cream heaven. It appears to be well made, quiet enough when in use, easy to clean, easy to use and I only need to make 16 batches of 4 pints each to pay for itself (our favorite was 5$ a pint before). I think this machine will have no trouble managing that (certainly better than my husband and I can manage eating it all- so it's been a great summer gift to friends !!)
