Full details
The Unold Ice Cream Maker Gusto is designed for home cooks who want to create professional-quality frozen desserts like gelato, sorbet, and frozen yogurt without the hassle of pre-freezing freezer bowls. Its standout feature is a powerful self-cooling compressor that reaches -35°C, providing the convenience of making multiple batches back-to-back. While its high-performance cooling system and 2-litre capacity make it a versatile kitchen addition, users should be aware that the machine's 12 kg weight and footprint require dedicated counter space.
