What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Self-Refrigerating Ice Cream Maker: it made "supersmooth ice cream and sorbet," and its short, wide bowl was easy to scrape out. It holds 2.1 quarts to the Breville's 1.5. One quirk: ATK had to pause it to take the temperature. ATK didn't test long-term durability, and the listing doesn't state a warranty.
