Our verdict

A basic electric ice cream maker for small homemade batches of ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet. The listing conflicts on whether it uses a freezer cylinder or a compressor.

Overview

Not a large party machine, the Krups La Glaciere makes a modest batch of ice cream, yogurt or sorbet in about half an hour with a one speed motor. A recipe booklet covers basics like orange sorbet.

Small batches and simple operation suit a household that wants homemade dessert now and then. The listing mentions both a freezing cylinder and a built-in compressor, so confirm which before buying.

Who it's for

Couples and small families who like homemade sorbet and ice cream will find the size and recipes enough. Large gatherings need a bigger machine.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Simple one speed operation
  • Makes ice cream, yogurt and sorbet
  • Recipe booklet included
Cons
  • Small batch size
  • Cooling method listed two ways
  • Hand wash only
  • Mostly plastic build

Performance notes

A paddle churns the base while it freezes against a cold wall, and churn time sets texture. Batch size is small, so it chills faster than a larger tub. If a freezer cylinder is used, it must be fully frozen first.
