$100 (mixer not included), kitchenaid.com
Cuisinart ICE-50BC
The priciest machine on this list “hogs counter space” but doesn’t require you to pre-freeze an insert because it has a built-in compressor/freezer. It also turns off automatically.
$299, cuisinart.com

The top “budget buy” produces a “well-mixed though somewhat less rich ice cream.” Still, this “no-frills” machine is “simple to assemble, operate, and clean.”
