White Mountain F-69206 6 Quart Ice Cream Maker

Pros: Outstanding reliability and durability.

Cons: The top of the dasher is sometimes difficult to fit into the motor housing.

The Bottom Line: Our White Mountain ice cream maker is 10 years old now and works as well as the very first time we used it. We love it!

Review: My wife and I have the six-quart electric model that was purchased in 1993 and we still love it. We routinely make ice cream for birthdays and other special events for both family and friends. The machine still performs without fail.

Pros: Creamy and firm ice cream, durable, and attractive.

Cons: Price

Review: The best thing about this maker is the ice cream it produces. The double-acting dasher and the powerful motor make all the difference. With other makers you often get a grainy, icy, or soupy product. The dasher on this maker has wooden blades. That ...

Pros: Strong motor, nice churn dasher

Cons: Pricey at over $200 (for a 6 quart), Noisy

Review: We purchased three model#F69206 White Mountain 6-quart ice cream freezers as Christmas presents in 1999 for our grown children. Although they retail for a bit over $200, the hardware store "cut us a deal" for $165 each.

Pros: motor & stainless can

Cons: customer service

Review: This is probably the best of this genre available but it could be improved on. I'm not sure how long Rival has owned this venerable line, but I don't believe it is what it used to be. The motor seems very strong. The tub just ok. The latches to hold the...

Pros: Expensive purchase price ($200 + tax) impresses your friends.

Cons: Motor and warranty lousy

The Bottom Line: Not worth the price. Do not buy.

Review: I found this item at a local Ace hardware. I was impressed with the stated motor power. This item was a replacement for an old Wal-Mart freezer that we had for more than fifteen years. The purchase price for the old freezer was maybe $40. With young ...

Pros: Strong Motor, Stainless steel can

Cons: Way too expensive, Motor Leeks Grease, Poor quality since Rival/Holmes bought company.

The Bottom Line: If you like the stronger motor and have $200 to blow then go ahead, otherwise buy a lower priced "plastic" one and by premium ice cream at Braum's.

Review: I purchased my White Mountain Ice Cream Cooler in July 2000 thinking it was the best on the market. I have never been more disappointed. The box arrived in pieces and many parts were broken. It took Rival/Holmes 6 weeks to send the parts I needed....

Pros: It's pretty.

Cons: It does not function after about 3 buckets.

Review: ...does not mean that it is!! I had always heard this freezer was the Holy Grail of homemade ice cream so I saved and saved until I could afford one. The first 3 times I made ice cream with it were wonderful. I boxed it up for the summer in the ...
