Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Unlike most ice cream makers, the Gelato Chef 2200 doesn't need pre-freezing because it's got its own built-in freezer. Just choose your recipe, switch on, pour in your ingredients and in just 20 minutes your delicious ice cream is ready. With its own freezer and extra removable bowl, you can make as little or as much ice cream in as many flavours as you like.

Fantastic Ice Cream,
By A Customer
This review is from: Magimix Gelato Chef Ice Cream Maker White, GEL22001 (Kitchen & Home)
I bought this product because I love ice cream and wanted to experiment with my own recipes. I do not have much spare freezer space and so wanted a machine that has its' own freezer unit.The deciding factor in my purchase was price, this machine being less expensive than its' main rival. The ice cream which is produced is consistently good, with a smooth texture and excellent flavour, ( being able to control the ingredients means you can use the freshest and best quality). The main drawback to an ice cream machine with its own freezer unit is that it takes up work space in the kitchen. These machines need to settle for 12 hours after transit and it is not recommended to move them in and out of cupboards once in situ. However you can make ice cream on a whim as no pre freezing of bowls is needed and the machine is readily available. I use the removable container for making the ice cream. This makes cleaning easier although it slightly reduces the quantity which can be made. It necessitates the use of either salt water or alcohol between container and machine so I tend to keep a small amount of gin which I re-use and top up. The time needed to freeze the ice cream varies according to ingredients and I have found it can be as little as 20 minutes. The longest was 40 minutes for a non-dairy recipe. These machines are pricey and therefore you probably need to have a lover of ice cream in the house to justify the purchase. However, the ice cream produced is better than shop bought. I even rate it better than the premium ice creams which are availble. The variety which can be produced is limited only by your imagination.

Magimix Gelato Chef ice cream maker,

This review is from: Magimix Gelato Chef Ice Cream Maker White, GEL22001 (Kitchen & Home)
A wonderful machine, especially for the price. After having used the Magimix 1.1Ltr ice cream machine; the type you have to pre-freeze and having fantastic results, I decided to go for this one for a couple of reasons. The first being that you do not have to pre-freeze; the machine is always ready. The second being that you do not have to make space in your freezer for the bowl. Yes, it does get a bit noisy when the mix starts to thicken but it isn't for long. It is a small price to pay for delicious, fresh ice cream with no preservatives, colouring, flavouring or any other e-numbers. The build quality I feel is quite substantial and have had no problems with parts breaking or jamming. Using the removable bucket makes the machine a doddle to clean, which I would recommend whichever machine you use. As far as storing in a cupboard, there is no reason why this cannot be done. The machine has to settle for 12 hours after it has been inverted and thrown around during transit; just lifting it in and out of a cupboard would not require it to settle but it is quite weighty.

A good machine,
This review is from: Magimix Gelato Chef Ice Cream Maker White, GEL22001 (Kitchen & Home)
I am not clear why some reviews are not very favourable for this machine.
I have had this machine for about 3 months now and it works very well. It makes excellent professional quality ice cream. Its easy to clean, I use the removable bucket as its easier to clean. In fact I purchased another bucket + paddle + spindle so that I could keep the production line going! If you read the instructions and follow some simple hygene rules you will have no problems with this machine. You could argue the paddle motor is perhaps not as robust as it should be, but then again this is a domestic rated machine. If you need to be using an ice cream machine every day then go and get a professional rated machine that can stand the rigours of daily use. I suspect this machine is not actually made by Magimix but is badge engineered for them. But still a good machine and Magimix have a good support system in the UK.
