I love my Donvier!!

This is the second Donvier I have owned...the first was a gift and was used for well over 20 years before it was retired. I was very happy when I found this one on Amazon.com. It works great and we enjoy having homemade ice cream in less than a half an hour or so. It's very easy to use and clean.

Best maker on the market--had mine for over 15 years!

I'm a shameless ice cream junkie, so I have used and abused this ice cream maker ever since I was in high school--even took it to college with me! The Donvier is so durable and versatile. Ice cream makers are indispensable for anyone serious about ice cream since the tastes is unrivaled, so here's what I love most about the Donvier (compared to other makers I've used):

1) It's silent!
2) Doesn't have to be plugged in--gives you freedom to move it around (and also means you don't have a motor/electronics to worry about burning out)
3) Only requires a stir every couple minutes (you don't have to constantly crank this thing)
4)It's fast. My pint-size Donvier is ready in 15-20 minutes; the quart size is ready in about 20-25 minutes (depends how cold your mixture is to start with).
5) Easy to clean: throw plastic parts in the dishwasher, and just run water over the metal cylinder, wipe it out and throw it back in the freezer.
6) Always ready: I keep mine in the freezer so I can make ice cream on a whim--never have to worry about ice, salt, and the accompanying mess.

When I was growing up, my mom would always use a Donvier ice cream maker to make homemade ice cream. Now that I'm an adult, I wanted to recapture this wonderful memory. I am happy to report that after 20 years, Donvier is still making a durable and solid product. I am making strawberry ice cream as I write this, and it is coming out beautifully. The ice cream maker is a cinch to use, and all the parts wash up easily.

Now we can make any flavor ice cream we want at home, and we can control the ingredients. I can make sure there are no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. I can make it richer or lighter, depending on whether I use more cream or more milk. I can make sherbet, sorbet, and ice cream. I can use fresh berries when in season! I can churn several different flavors and keep them on hand in the freezer. It's also fun to make ice cream for dessert when you have guests over - they will be impressed and can take turns cranking the handle.

This particular model only makes 1 quart of ice cream, but for my husband and me that is enough for a couple of nights. If you have a family or if you intend to use the Donvier for regular entertaining, then I would recommend getting a larger model like a 1.5 or 2 quart size. I haven't checked to see if they make those, but I seem to recall that the one we had when I was a kid was larger. Then again, everything seems bigger when you're a kid. :)

All in all a GREAT product. I would buy again and I would certainly buy it for others as a gift.
