Overview
A 2 quart self-contained batch ice cream machine from Lello's Musso line, built in Italy with an all stainless steel housing and blade for making ice cream, gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt without salt or ice.
This is a countertop version of commercial batch freezers, with owners comparing it favorably to equipment costing many times more. It also needs open space on all four sides for its ventilation ports, so it cannot sit flush against a wall.
- 2 quart self-contained batch freezer
- Up to 6 quarts per hour rated output
- All stainless steel construction
- Made in Italy
Who it's for
Fits serious home cooks or small operators making frequent batches who want commercial-style results without a commercial-size machine. Less suited to anyone tight on counter clearance or wary of appliances with a thin repair network.
Pros and cons
- Needs open space on all sides for ventilation
- Repair parts and service can be hard to find
- One reviewer disputes it reliably hits a full 2 quart batch
- Heavy at roughly 66 pounds
Performance notes
The self-contained compressor freezes a 2 quart batch in roughly 15 to 20 minutes without pre-freezing a bowl, and the machine can cycle through up to 6 quarts an hour according to the listing.
