Icecream maker advice

[sqbr]

So lazyweb, as they say, anyone got advice on good brands and places to by an icecream maker? The only local place I can find that sells them at all (based on online catalogues) is Retravision, and they have off-putting names like "Crazy Scoops!".

I vaguely recall reading lizbyrd talking about getting one, but have forgotten the details.

Huh. So I have a choice between a cheap one which works well, and an expensive one which doesn't.

OH GOD THE DECISION

:D

I have one of the 'freeze tub before use' ones. I really can't imagine there being a lot of variation between brands - it's so simple.

I find the trick is just to not overload the machine. I think mine's sunbeam 4 or 5 years old.

Just because something's simple doesn't mean it can't be screwed up, eg my parents seem to have an uncanny ability to buy substandard kettles :)
