What is a good ice cream maker I can buy?

I want to make some ice cream, but I need a machine. What are some good models out there, are there any I should avoid? I'm looking for an automatic one.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have a lower end Cuisinart than the model mentioned here. My brother owns the same one I do and so does my mom. I don't use it that frequently, but probably 4-6 times a year for about 6-7 years.

http://www.cuisinart.com/products/ice_cream/ice-21.html

My model is slightly older than this one, but very similar. The model shown by the other poster is definitely nicer and higher end, so it depends on how frequently you would use it.

If have a general rule that the worth of an item is dependent on its frequency of use. Thus, I didn't purchase the fanciest ice cream maker out there because if I ate that much ice cream, I'd be creating a whole new problem.

To illustrate my worth theory, if you will wear a $400 coat 6 months of the year, 6 days a week, for 6 years - then that coat would be worn roughly 924 times. Thus, the coat costs $0.43/wearing. If your other option is a $100 coat you don't like that much and won't last as long, so you would wear it 4 days a week for 6 months for 1 years, roughly 103 times. Thus, the coat costs $0.98/wearing and you would be better off purchasing the more expensive coat.

So if you were deciding between the 2 ice cream makers, that's how I would decide.

I suggest an ice cream maker that is made by brands such as Hamilton, Cuisinart, and Rival. I have the Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker which is very convenient to use because I can make both ice cream and frozen yogurt (which is more popular nowadays). I also love how I can mix different fruits and other ingredients to come up with interesting flavors for my home made ice cream and frozen yogurt. The Cuisinart ice cream maker I have is also fully automatic just like what you are looking for.
