If you buy it, remember this has a compressor like an AC unit or any fridge. You have to leave it level for a day before turning it on after you receive it or you'll risk ruining the cooling unit if it was transported on its side or upside down.
I get the best results pre-mixing and chilling the mix, and letting the machine run for a bit to get to temperature before pouring it in (pre-run length depends on what I'm making but never more than 20m).
I usually make my mixes the night before and leave them in the back of the fridge, then I'll run 2 different flavors/batches back to back on a weekend morning. I have not had great success just dropping broken solid treats into ice cream while it is running (eg, Oreo bits or pb cup bits) and usually mix them in by hand right after I transfer the base into a container to put in the freezer.
Cleaning is easy as long as you don't overfill the mix and are slightly careful when pouring the mix into the bucket.
The "insane price" comment is in reference to the ice-100. I have not seen this ice cream maker that low. The quality of this can be found in a simple Google search.
I then proceeded to mention that the ice-70 is on sale at the same retailer. Some people could benefit from that info. Just helping the community out.
It looks like the ice-70 is also on sale at $99 at JCPenny. $89 with the coupon

Thanks
Didn't even see the QVC one until this post, but between the size, warranty, and the reviews, I'm happy paying more for this model.

For our family's first ice cream maker, the ICE-70 seems like a good compromise. Thanks for posting that deal too.

Cuisinart ICE-100 does a nice job. You have to eat it fresh because it will freeze into sorbet in the freezer after 8 hours or so.
Warning. I take perfect, consistent Dole whip seriously:
Measure 4.5oz dry Dole whip powder (weight it, scoops are inaccurate) to 2 cups tap water makes 4 generous servings.
For perfect consistency: Fully whip the powder into the water and set in fridge for at least one hour. Run ice cream machine for about 15 minutes before you run the batch to let the compressor run and so the machine is nice and cool (you're reducing ice build up in the mix by starting with cold but not frozen mix going into the pre-chilled machine).
Pour in the mix and run it for about 24 minutes or until the Dole whip is completely stuck to the Dasher so it isn't mixing at all any more (you'll hear the difference).
Pull the canister out, most Dole whip will stick to the Dasher. Move the Dasher into a nice big bowl and spoon off the Dasher into the bowl. What's stuck in the canister use a spatula to remove. Eat right away.
I'm blind. Deal over.
