Musso Lussino Dessert Maker 4080 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker My teenager went to Italy with her class this summer and came back addicted to Gelatos. We have had one of the Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers for years, but have never been completely pleased ...

Pros: Easy to use, Sleek Italian design, Superb results
Cons: Pretty expensive, Takes up a lot of counter space, Fairly noisy

I've had my Lussino ice cream machine for almost three months. During that time, I've stirred up delicious Italian-style gelato on an average of twice per week with superb results.

While the machine is very large and heavy (about 40 lbs.) and...

Pros: Easy-to-use and maintain, fully self-contained ice cream maker yielding professional-quality results.
Cons: Tank-like weight means it will resolutely occupy the space you place it on.

I have to admit, if it's shiny, there's a pretty good likelihood I'll buy it.  Shameful, I know.  But the Musso Lussino Ice Cream maker is more than just shiny.  It's a solid, fully-contained churner of ice cream heaven.  Key, ...

Pros: Excellent results; fast & efficient;easy to clean
Cons: Price, noise;no removable bowl

This was a gift to the family for Christmas. We enjoy good ice cream, but like to control the ingredients in what we eat. Based on the reviews here and elsewhere, I decided to take a chance when I saw a good price on the machine. First thing, the ...

Pros: Easy to use/clean, makes about any kind of frozen desert in just about no time.
Cons: a little pricey. Also heavy, large, is not quiet - but these are really inconsequential

I initially balked at purchasing this because of the price and size/weight. However, as I kept researching frozen desert makers, I kept getting led back to this machine. It's a bit pricey, but I've decided it's a good value. Cheaper machines got mixed ...

Pros: Freezes quick,well built,not that loud in my opinion,not really hard to clean either.
Cons: I have no complaints about this machine.

I have a professional quality pastry kitchen in the basement of my home.I have wanted to buy this machine for a few years but spent my money on more important things and machines,ovens,mixers etc. for my pastry kitchen.I ordered this machine Friday and ...

Pros: excellently made, strong, reliable and good looking.
Cons: a bit heavy and a bit noisy - nothing serious.

We love ice cream and I am very picky when it comes to choosing my ice cream. not only the taste but also the ingredients, so I went hunting for the ultimate machine for home use. Found it! this machine is absolutely perfect, yea, it makes some noise ...

Pros: Makes good ice cream.
Cons: Takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to make ice cream. Very expensive.

I purchased the machine due to the number of articles that I read about it that claimed that it made ...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, durable
Cons: Heavy. Bowl is not removable for cleaning.

If you like to make ice cream, and like to make more than one batch per day then the "pre freeze" machines are not really up to the task; you need a machine with a compressor.

The "Musso Lussino Dessert Maker 4080" is the best machine I have...

Pros: Incredibly reliable and easy to use. Easy clean-up.
Cons: Very heavy

I have owned the Musso Lussino for 2 years. I have had several other machines and none compares. It is easy to use, turn the timer, push two buttons and come back in 30 minutes. It really does take only 30 minutes if your ingredients are COLD! After...

Pros: fast, quite, easy clean
Cons: none found

Amazon or it's supplier sells refurbished one as new.
Buyers beware.
Otherwise - it is a good product.
There is no removable bowl, however it is made from stainless steel - easy to clean.

Pros: GREAT ICE CREAM, ATTRACTIVE UNIT, VERY SOLID CONSTRUCTION,EASY TO CLEAN,EASY TO USE
Cons: MACHINE NEEDS TO COOL OFF BETWEEN BATCHES,RUDE,STUPID CUSTOMER SUPPORT,NO LOCAL REPAIR SHOPS

I PURCHASED MY ICE CREAM MAKER LAST NOVEMBER, IT MAKES GREAT ICE CREAM AND IS A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE. I'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MAKING A SECOND BATCH RIGHT AFTER THE FIRST THE CHURNING OPERATION STOPS, MAYBE DUE TO OVERHEATING? CALL THE COMPANY AND WELL BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH RUDE,STUPID, NASTY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ANY THING ABOUT PRODUCT. ONE GUY SAID I MUST NOT PUT MORE THAT 1 1/2 CUPS TOTAL IN THE UNIT AND THE NEXT GUY SAYS TO LET THE UNIT COOL FOR AT LEAST 20 MIN. CUSTOMER PAYS TO SHIP THE UNIT FOR ANY REPAIRS (ONLY THEY HAVE THE SKILL TO FIX IT), TURN AROUND TIME? THEY DON'T KNOW, AND THE MACHINE IS HEAVY AND NATCH YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO SAVE THE ORIGINAL CARTON TO SUPPORT ITS WEIGHT. I ASKED FOR INFO ABOUT REPAIR LOCALLY TO CHECK THE MACHINE HE SAID CALL THE REPAIR SHOP I CALLED ANOTHER RUDE GUY WHO WAS HALF ASLEEP ANSWERED AND DIDN'T KNOW MUCH EITHER. WILL USE MACHINE AS IS AND LET IT COOL BETWEEN BATCHES. OVER ALL I LOVE THE MACHINE, I WON'T SEND IT BACK BECAUSE, I EXPECT IT WILL BE AN EXPERIENCE I WON'T FORGET.
