What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker ICE-21P1

Two whitelisted hands-on testers cover this exact machine: NYT Wirecutter names the Cuisinart ICE-21 its outright top pick, while USA Today's Reviewed names it Best Value (runner-up to the Ninja Creami). Both praise fast churning (~18-20 minutes to soft-serve), a simple one-switch design with a wide open top, and strong value (Wirecutter cites a typical ~$90). Both flag the small 1.5-quart capacity and the mandatory overnight (12-24h) bowl pre-freeze. No lab dB/noise data found. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)

Praised: Churns creamy ice cream fast (~18-20 minutes to soft-serve); Wirecutter calls the texture dense, chewy and rich; Simple one-switch (on/off) design with a wide open top for taste-tests and mix-ins; Strong value for the field; Wirecutter cites a typical ~$90 price.

Flagged: Small 1.5-quart capacity, prone to overflow when adding mix-ins to a full batch; Requires overnight (12-24h) bowl/canister pre-freeze before you can churn; Freezer bowl / machine is a bit bulky to store (long-term tester).
