Does anyone know a good place with some selection? Also, any recommendations for a model you like? Thanks in advance! smel http://www.bouchonfor2.com Tue Apr 07 17:47:13 -0700 2009 58840 smel 1 4576987 Ming Wo is my go to spot for kitchenware. They list Donvier as a brand they carry... I've had great success with this model: http://www.amazon.com/Donvier-1-Quart-Ice-Cream-Maker/dp/B00006484E Tue Apr 07 19:06:04 -0700 2009 4576767 87054 peter.v 1 4577059 Forum Appliances is another good place. They have a few locations (Crystal Mall and a couple of others). Their Chinatown location is called "International Plumbing & Electrical Supplies Inc." They carry Cuisinart brand. (They sell a $300 Cuisinart ice cream maker which has its own compressor/cooling unit and a $90 one similar to the Donvier Peter linked to). Costco is often a good bet for appliances. London Drugs as well. Tue Apr 07 19:28:31 -0700 2009 4576767 145820 fmed 1 4577477 Thanks :) I will go check those places. I need to get one before mango season is over!

They also liked the Kitchenaid attachment. In Calgary the Whirlpool parts place has Kitchenaid attachments. I'm not sure if the companies have a connection in all cities but you might want to consider an attachment if you have a Kitchenaid mixer. The downside is the bowl has to be frozen first.

It has essentially replaced the Donvier. The results are quite tasty. Wed Apr 08 08:46:19 -0700 2009 4577902 87054 peter.v 1 4578324 I got an electric Cuisinart "Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt and Sorbet" maker a number of years ago from Costco and have had no complaints and have made lots of great ice cream and sorbet. Yes, the bowl must reside in your freezer most of the time, taking up precious room, but in winter I just leave it outside...I live in Alberta!

I think I know which one I'm going to get :) Wed Apr 08 22:59:06 -0700 2009 4576767 58840 smel
