1. KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker 5KSMICM
If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer (or are getting one), this attachment can make it double up as an ice cream maker. There’s no timer, so the process is a bit more manual, and does require some pre-freezing, but it’s easy to use and works well.

2. Cuisinart Ice Cream and Gelato Professional
Cuisinart’s great all-in-one machine will let you make a tub of ice cream without any need for pre-freezing. It has a family-sized 1.5-litre capacity and while it will take up a bit of counter space, it’s fairly good looking.
