Ice cream makers bring back memories for many people of lazy summer days and warm summer evenings of childhood. You can enjoy frozen treats every summer, or any season for that matter. All you have to do is to choose the ice cream makers that you like the best.
There are basically 5 different types of makers. They are: the traditional hand crank, the electric, the combination hand crank and electric, the nostalgic, and the automatic ice cream makers. Which kind you get will depend on several factors.

First, you need to know how important sentiment is to you. If an old-fashioned maker is what you want, you will probably want a hand crank ice cream bucket. These come in different sizes from 4 quarts to 6 quarts. You can churn the ice cream just as your grandfather did using this type of set-up.
