I got my new compressor ice cream maker,

What brand did you get?


I bought the larger Lello Gelato 4090. 2 qts., I believe. Now I will
have to adjust my ice cream recipe ;-))

I just looked and I think it is now currently unavailable.

Was I ever lucky. I saw it jump to $354; then one day I looked at it
was $239.00 Made my order right away, with an extra bucket, being
optimistic.

Whoa, you tracked it! Did you factor in the cost of your machine into
the cost of your ice cream? I'd amortize of course, but it's still a
major factor for the first 200+ batches.

:)

Lord only knows if it will last 200 or even 100. I wanted one so badly
made in Italy, but alas it is China.

It's hard to say, but yours seems like a good brand, regardless of origin.

I'll bet Wayne's is made in Italy. I've been so jealous that he's had
one because I wanted one so badly in the 70's when he bought his (I
think) they were popular, but the price in dollars then compared to now
was tremendous. I'm glad his has lasted so well.

Yes, made in Italy, purchased in 1975. At that time the only machine
easily available for home users were made by Simac. The model I bought, Il
Gelataio, was their top model. The onlyu down side is that the bowl isn't
removable, but it's not a big deal. It's seen a lot of use over the years.

Amortizing machines is out -- I figure my appliances are the cost of
wasted dinners out that I don't bother with anymore. :-))

Heh, I wouldn't bother!
