A dependable way to make real ice cream for a crowd, worth treating the plastic paddle and lid pegs gently since a couple of owners have had them crack.

Overview
The Elite Gourmet EIM-924LX is a 4-quart electric ice cream maker with a pine wood bucket housing an aluminum canister and a motorized paddle that churns ice cream, gelato, sorbet or frozen yogurt in under an hour.
This is a traditional ice-and-salt style maker with an electric motor replacing the hand crank, so it still needs ice and rock salt packed around the canister rather than a built-in compressor. The pine bucket gives it a look closer to an old-fashioned crank freezer than to the compact bowl-style makers many kitchens use now.
- Hand-crafted solid pine wood bucket
- 4-quart heavy-duty aluminum canister
- Ready in about 40 minutes per batch
- Includes a recipe booklet
Who it's for
Families and hosts who want the old-fashioned ice cream maker experience without hand cranking, and who don't mind buying ice and rock salt for each batch. Not a fit for anyone wanting a self-contained compressor unit.
Pros and cons
- Some plastic parts (paddle shaft, lid pegs) have broken early for a few buyers
- Still requires ice and rock salt like a manual crank freezer
Performance notes
The 90 rpm motor turns a six-fin paddle inside the 4-quart aluminum canister, and Elite Gourmet rates a batch at about 40 minutes packed in ice and rock salt.
