Editorial Review:

Amazon.com ReviewWith a minimum freezing temperature of –4 degrees F, the Simac Gelato Junior takes only about 30 minutes to satisfy your craving for a frozen confection. Plus, the built-in compressor freezer operates continuously, so you can turn out multiple flavors of ice cream while your guests finish their dinner. A 60-minute electronic timer frees you up for other activities, and an automatic safety mechanism sounds a warning beep if the integrated spatula blade gets stuck. A removable 1-quart bowl, transparent lid, and slim ingredient window all simplify operation, and the unit is also useful for crafting frozen drinks and chilled soups. Though not lightweight at 31 pounds, the Gelato Junior is fairly sleek for its class, measuring 11 by 14 by 12-1/4 inches. Simac includes a booklet of tasty ice cream, sorbet, and dessert sauce recipes, as well as an ice cream scoop. --Emily Bedard

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - "High maintenance"
My first batch was easy and yummy! Yippee! The next time, the machine would not churn. I finally read the rest of these Amazon reviews and found out that I have to move the handle of the cooling cylinder so that it faces me completely. In the process of trying to pour out the ice cream, fix the machine, etc, I ripped out the plastic ring. Yuck. No online manual, hardcopy documentation, or website whatsoever to help. And the recipe book is filled with typos. Doesn't inspire confidence. So I say, read all of these Amazon reviews. They have the operating instructions that aren't listed anywhere else. Then knowing that you have to pay $399, you decide.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - happy
I am pleased with the Lello 4070 however I wish it scraped the ice cream off the sides a little closer.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - LOVE my Lello!! I feel like a Gelato Maestra!
I bought the Lello Jr. at the beginning of this summer after returning from our 10th trip to Italy, and deciding that I wanted to try and make gelato. After doing lots of research I settled on the Lello Jr, and I haven't regretted it. I've mastered basic vanilla, Sicilian bittersweet chocolate, crema, fresh peach, and the most fabulous cantaloupe gelato -- so delicious that my boyfriend says it's as good as if not better than what we ate in Italy. I also made David Lebovitz's Candied Bacon Ice Cream last weekend -- AMAZING! All of them are so easy with my Lello. Once I finally figured out the proper recipes for each (some I made up, but I also swear by and highly recommend "The Perfect Scoop" by David Lebovitz to learn the basics as his recipes are beyond compare) the Lello made every easy and the results were beyond my expectations. As I became comfortable with making gelato, I used what I learned from "The Perfect Scoop" and those recipes to help create my own. The Lello is heavy, yes, so I keep it on my kitchen counter, and it's hard to pour add-ins at the end (I don't use the tiny opening; I just stop the machine, pull out the dasher/paddle, add the mix-ins, put the paddle and top back on and start it back up). It also takes longer to make a quart than 30 minutes -- usually closer to an hour for mine. Difficult to clean? No, not even when I overfill the canister and some of the gelato pushes up into the top of the paddle and lid. It all wipes clean very quickly with a damp cloth. Sometimes I wish I'd purchased the larger, Pro model that makes two quarts at a time, but since there are only two of us at home, and the gelato tastes best when it's fresh (either that day or the next), it's probably best I only have the Jr. I did buy an extra canister so I can make two flavors quickly (one canister can still be chilling in the fridge while the other is churning). LOVE the Lello Jr-- HIGHLY recomend it!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Like it so much we bought a second one!
My family bought this machine for me for Mother's Day in '04 for our second home. We actually don't make traditional ice cream much (lots of folks of diets), but I have frozen just about everything else with great success, from fresh fruit (using their simple syrup recipe and a little fresh lemon or lime), to leftover mimosas, to gazpacho for an appetizer on a scorching day. My grown sons and their friends, the little cousins, everyone has made "special desserts." It even prompted the purchase of a pizelle iron, so that we could try making cones, too. Last year they bought me a second Gelato Jr -- for our apartment in the city! It fits on the countertop, it is noisy, but as others have said, less than the dishwasher and not much more than our old air conditioner, and it's just as popular. The machines are a little sensitive -- they work best exactly horizontally and you do need to be careful to place the top exactly or the blade mechanism won't make contact and turn. Some ingredients do take a little longer than suggested. I find the included recipes to be well written, clear, easy to follow and easy to personalize! Definitely worth the money -- comparable output to the much more expensive models.
