ice cream/gelato maker

[olivier74]

I am trying to buy an ice cream maker aiming to make ice cream, frozen yoghurt and italian ice creams/gelato. I know that the recipes are different but was wondering if the machine needs to be different too. Some ice cream makers seem to be able to make them all but one has a different paddle especially for gelato.
I'm looking to get one with an integrated compressor, expensive enough as it is without having to pay a lotmore for the extra paddle!

Description can be different but I guess they try to promote the more expensive one!

Did you get anything in the end? I was thinking of treating the family to one. Just saw this on Amazon - same brand - just for ice cream presumably - £70:

Cuisinart ICE30 ice cream maker: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home

Anyone got anything along these lines? The reviews are very glowing.

Got the ice30 from lakeland for christmas. Its been spot on. Probably the best one you can get without a built in compressor. Temped to buy the one with the built in compressor if i had enough room.

With the ice30 make sure you freeze the bowl well to at least -19 and make sure all the ingredients are cold before you start.
