Product Description
You don't have to travel to Italy for delicious authentic gelato. Make it in the comfort of your own home with the new Gelato Maker from DeLonghi. Gelato is a dense mixture with lower fat than ice cream and no added air, which is more rich and flavorful. And with the self-refrigerating compressor, you don't have to wait for your favorite sweet treat. Built-in compressor brings the ingredients to temperatures below freezing, which frozen bowl ice cream makers cannot do. Make multiple batches continuously instead of having to wait to re-freeze the ice cream bowl. The removable stainless steel bowl makes for easy serving and cleanup and the mixing paddle effectively mixes ingredients from top to bottom for perfect consistency. Other highlights include a refrigerant gas that doesn't deplete the ozone layer, transparent lid and recipe book.

Works very well
By V. Elliott
Being a manager of a kitchen retail store gives me a little edge because I can see a few of these machines in person. Our store carries the Cuisinart Ice Cream maker that has the prefreeze bowl, we also carry the Cuisinart self refrigerated unit, and the Delonghi gelato machine. We use the Cuisinart prefreeze models for our demo's we doon Saturday's at the store. It works, but it's not the most impressive ice cream you've ever had.I wanted something better. I looked at both of the other units I listed above. The Cuisinart unit didn't feel well made to me. I took out the bowl, etc and the arm that goes across the top of the machine to the bowl feels like it will be only a matter of time before that gets broke. I decided to try the Delonghi model.I have used it several times now. I love it!! The first recipe I made was butter pecan ice cream. It was excellent and the machine had it ready in 30 minutes. It can take an extra ten minutes if you add alcohol to your recipe (and this recipe used Jack Daniels). The next recipe was chocolate hazelnut gelato. OMG...Yummy!Everything we've made has been great. The machine is very simple to use and it works great. I'm very happy with my decision and hope this helps you if you're debating between machines. I would recommend this machine.I've read that many people didn't like the Cuisinart unit because it's very loud when you use it.This machine is not very loud. I would say that it's quieter than a blender running. I can still watch tv with it running without upping the volume. It's pretty easy to clean too. There is one area that can get crumbs when you add nuts, etc. I just wipe around in there with a moist q-tip and that's about the only "problem" I can find with this unit. I also purchased The Perfect Scoop book by David Lebovitz. Excellent recipes. Haven't found a dud yet and it also has great resources in the back of the book in regards to ordering ingredients, etc.Hope this helps with your decision :)

By Curtis W. Hargus
If you know the difference between gelato and ice cream, and you don't want to spend a few thousand dollars on a commercial gelato machine to satisfy your gelato urges, then this Delonghi gelato machine is for you. I was a skeptic at first, but after having used the machine and tasted the byproduct, Delonghi engineering has created an acceptable gelato machine that is affordable. I have made french vanilla, vanilla, lemon gelato, lemon sorbet and peanut butter cup gelato and all have been excellent. The advertised differences of less air and more dense conconctions is not hype but reality. I am not ready to say this machine will rival the gelaterias of Italy for truffle smooth creations, but what it produces is close enough for my palate. The peanut butter cup gelato was very close to truffle smooth and oh so rich and smooth. The lemon sorbet is intense and delectable. The concept the machine uses to produce gelato is the same as gelato machines costing a few thousand dollars more. The difference is scale (smaller batches) and the need for hardening in the fridge after processing---minor work arounds for the cost savings. The noise level is tolerable, and it appears to be well built. I believe if you follow the manufacturer's directions for use, the machine will perform admireably for many seasons. I would suggest buying Terrance Kopfer's book "Making Artisan Gelato." Delonghi's recipes are of the mix it freeze it sort---if you really want the flavor rush and smoothness unique to gelato, invest the time to prepare it the way it should be and you will be rewarded with this machine. With that said, the Delonghi vanilla, and french vanilla recipes were very good and the prep time was minutes instead of hours. The 1.2 pint capacity was a concern for me initially and caused me to postpone my purchase a few months. I can now say this is really an asset since you can make several varieties of gelato/sorbet in smaller quantities for entertaining which I believe lessens the potential for waste and ultimately cost. The longest freeze time was 25 minutes and the hardness of the product at the end of the cycle was much more frozen than I expected. In my opinion, given what I have mostly read about other machines, and what I have experienced as an owner of the Delonghi GM6000 Gelato Machine, I believe this may very well be the best gelato, er ice cream machine at this price point in the marketplace.

Gelato Maker
By Troy P. Henry
I just received my DeLonghi Gelato Maker today. I love DeLonghi products. They are very well made. It's a little heavy, which is good. When I was deciding which Gelato maker to get I read all the different reviews on Amazon. This machine hadn't been reviewed. What sold me on it was all the other DeLonghi products I own are all very reliable. Because there were no other reviews I Googled it to learn more about it. One concern was that other websites listed it as having a 1.5 pint capacity. (24oz) This is incorrect. The actual capacity is 1.2 liters. Which is approximately 40 ounces. I've only made the basic dairy gelato recipe (vanilla). It worked very well. It only took about 20 minutes to freeze the gelato. I only gave four stars because of the lack of information on capacity. But it is a 5 star product.I've owned this gelato maker now for a month. I love it. Here is an easy recipe that works well in this machine.Gelato di Fragola (Strawberry Gelato)Ingredients*10oz fresh strawberries / or frozen*1cup granulated sugar*1cup cold whipping cream*1cup cold water*dash of lemon juice (if the berries are not fresh)Directions1.Clean and cut washed berries into quarters, or just smaller pieces.2.Put berries, sugar and water into a blender or food processor and blend until liquid and smooth. (This is also where you'll add lemon juice if necessary.)3.Whip the cream until slightly thickened - like the consistency of buttermilk.4.Combine the cream with the strawberry mixture and mix thoroughly until blended.5.Freeze as indicated by the manufacturer of your ice cream maker.
