Davis & Waddell Essentials Electric Ice Cream Maker DES0318
Good Points
- Very compact unit, easy to store.
- Very good controls, very easy to use, basic.
- Mostly smooth plastic exterior – lid only. No vents. Very easy to wipe over.
- Few parts to clean in domestic sink – bowl, paddle, lid.
- Relatively quiet.
- Relatively cheap.
Bad Points
- Only OK overall.
- Only OK performance.
- Only OK for vegan frozen yoghurt.
- Borderline for lemon sorbet.
- No handle on freezer bowl, large and awkward to grip when frozen.
- Ice cream bowl needs to be frozen prior to use.
- Difficult to remove load due to iciness of freezer bowl, hand protection may be needed.
- Will need to refer to manual for time guides.
- Small mix-in chute in the lid – open hole, no cover. OK to pour in mixtures – need a jug for pouring accuracy.
- Basic instructions, limited recipes.
- No audible feedback when ice cream is ready, need to monitor ice cream throughout processing time.
- Messy – may push contents up over the rim for volumes great than 500mL.
- Only a 1-year warranty, which suggests low manufacturer confidence in the product.
