I remember mixing together the ingredients for fresh ice cream, as a little girl, and enjoying a big bowl after the agonizing wait … There is just something about homemade ice cream on a hot summer day, especially if it’s made with fresh strawberries!
I think every family should experience the joy of creating their very own ice cream. Whether you like fresh strawberry, creamy vanilla, or decadent chocolate, ice cream is a breeze to make in a Hamilton Beach Ice Cream Maker.
The best part about this fabulous ice cream maker is that it makes ice cream, frozen yogurt & gelato in only 25-40 minutes … Not too long for the little kiddos to wait! And, its automatic so you don’t need ice or salt.

I like the go anywhere handle. Makes it easy to take on a playdate.
I love how quickly you can make it…amazing! We would use this all the time.
Thank you!
I like that it’s automatic.
I love the fact that no ice or salt needed!!! This is great!
So many features. I like the fact that it uses no salt, even though I will miss sneaking a small piece of it here and there!
Also, you can make Big Red flavor, which is THE BEST! My kids would LOVE helping me make ice cream. Can’t say the same for anything else!
I love that it doesn’t take ice or salt and it’s CUTE!

I love that you don’t have to use ice or salt, it makes it so much easier.

The Go Anywhere handle is a great feature, especially since if I won it, I’d use it at the family reunion weekend. That handle would make it easy to bring the ice cream from my cabin to the designated dining cabin for potlucks!

Ice cream? I’m screaming!
Oooooo the bars, definitely the bars.
Chocolate and Dark Chocolate yum.
I love that it makes ice cream so quickly, so many other machines take a lot longer. Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

No ice or salt! I never have enough when I need it!
You don’t have to add salt. That was always such a mess.
only 30 minutes for fresh ice cream
I like that you dont need to add ice and salt. Ours makes a HUGE mess
I like the extra-large ingredient opening best of the listed features. Since this automated wonder does EVERYTHING, except addng the ingredients, I’m glad those helpful little hands will find it easier to be helpful in the only way they can (for my sake, as well as theirs)!

Woo Hoo . . . an ice cream maker that doesn’t need ice or salt, how cool is that. Thank you for a yummy giveaway.

What feature do I “not” love? It is fast, no salt or ice required and my 6 year old would love to watch it being made!
I love that you can make whatever kind of icecream you want whenever you want! It is also super quick and is small enough to fit in my itty-bitty freezer!
What I like best is that it makes gelato. And Gelato in under 40 minutes? Well, maybe I can’t afford to go to Italy for the summer but I’d sure like to be able to pretend!

Automatic-no ice or salt needed!
No salt or ice is a great feature. But what am I saying…they are all wonderful! I could so use an ice cream maker with all of the triple digit temperatures we are setting here in TX.

My family LOVES ice cream, so we would love to win this! I love everything about it, but I guess I’ll go with that you can make your very own ice cream so fast! Wow!
I like how quickly we could have homemade ice cream. However, I also think the size is manageable for storage in our kitchen too! It would be so much fun to add our own flavors into the ice cream and make fruity flavors. Ooh, I’m excited just thinking about it!

I especially like that it needs no ice or salt. My kids would be thrilled if I won this.

This is what I need lol I just made ice cream yesterday .. and was secretly pouting as I was adding more ice and more salt.. and listening to the grinding grrrr… I would love to win a fast yummy ice cream maker!!!

I love that it can make frozen yogurt too… Maybe they all can, but I have no idea how to do it.
I also subscribed to your RSS feed. I can only imagine if you would have good information about saving $$ and your sanity with 6 kiddos that will help keep me sane with my 1 and a half (my niece I take care of on weekdays).
I like that it makes ice cream fast. It’s not something we’d have to plan in advance, when we want ice cream, we just make some.
Subscribed to your blog for an extra entry!
I love the fact that you can make ice cream, gelato, or yogurt.
Love that its Automatic-no ice or salt needed since we always seem to be out of both..

ahhhh, i’ve been dying to get an ice cream maker but have been hesitant! the best part of the ice cream maker is that it fits in the freezer!!! and ice cream in 30 minutes? yeah, that too!!!
I like that it comes with recipes so it lessens the chance I will screw it up:)
I like that you don’t have to use ice or salt…I think even I could do this!!!
onlycancan at hotmail dot com
My favorite feature is it being able to fit in the freezer. I remember the bit klunky ice cream makers which are nice but a lot of work, this one sounds like a breeze.
I gotta say that I love them all, but especially how quick it is. Thanks so much!!
kvicker at hotmail dot com
I like that they say it will fit in the freezer. We have a fairly small freezer, so that is good.
using it in the freezer without having to continually check ice and salt.
I can’t believe it makes ice cream in only 20 minutes. That’s incredible!!
I love that you can make frozen yogurt AND Gelato in this! I love Gelato and never thought I could make it at home. I thought only fancy restaurants had it (LOL).
Thank you for a fun giveaway.

Love the handle and the fact that it fits in the freezer. So convenient.
I like that it fits in the freezer. great giveaway
So many great features on this ice cream maker, but for me the fact that it fits in the freezer is just the best. Thank you so much!
I love everything about it. The best things are probably that you don’t need ice or salt and it fits easily in the freezer. Thanks!
I like the large opening, to minimize mess.

i love that it makes ice cream fast. My kids won’t drive me crazy with the “is it done yet, how about now? is it done now? are you sure? can we check it?”
purehrt555(AT)yahoo(DOT)com
The no salt and ice is what I like best about the ice cream maker.
well, I have to say the fact thatit doesn’t require salt is my favorite feature. My old maker needed lots of rock salt. I also like the carry handle.

I like the fact that you don’t need ice or salt to make the ice cream…it is all automatic. Much better than the old churn ice cream makers. Thanks!

I like that you don’t have to crank and there’s no ice/rock salt involved.
I like that it is fast and that it doesn’t use ice or salt. It looks easy. Thanks so much.
i like that it is 25-40 minutes fast
Gosh, thinking back to when my parents always tried to make homemade ice cream for us when we were young with that dinasour ice cream maker what a mess. I love the Hamilton Beach the best because it makes either frozen yogurt or ice cream in 30 minutes, no salt needed, and it is compact in size for storage. Thank-you for this contest.
I love that you can make ice cream frozen yogurt and gelato. So fun!
My kids would love to learn to make ice cream with this great prize.
The best feature by far is NO ICE OR SALT NEEDED!!! This is a great giveaway, thanks!
I love the Go Anywhere handle. It would make it so easy to take to family events.

I think that my favorite feature is the fact that it is automatic-no ice or salt needed?! That makes it much more convenient to use.

I liked how easy it is to add ingredigents to the ice cream while it is being, because almost everyone in my fmily love etra things in their ice cream!
How compact it is – very nice convenient size!
I’ve never had an ice cram maker before so I’m not sure what makes this one stand out particularly, but needing neither ice nor salt seems mighty convenient to me!
Thanks for yet another delicious giveaway!
The fact that it makes ice cream in 25-40 minutes is a great feature I also like the no salt and ice needed. Saves time and money.
Homemade ice cream super fast with no mess- what’s not to like?
Great giveaway, thanks.

cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com
I like the no salt or ice feature. Thanks!
uh, hello…the fact that it makes the ice cream in “20-25 minutes” is the BEST feature. My 6 yr old wakes up each morning and decides what she will have for breakfast by asking “what takes the quickest?”. Sooooo impatient!
Go anywhere handle
I like that it’s automatic!
