There's a Cuisinart full automatic, too, and it has a shiny Stainless exterior and a more Jeep-like (id est, "square cornered" ) shape, but I ended up the Lello because of price point and free shipping. And yes, it does freeze hard enough to make a lovely scoop, just have to let it keep going...until it doesn't. Then time for some fast spoonwork!

I have done that with the old Deni (freezer canister) but only when I wrapped an insulating towel all around with only a little peek opening around the top. Poor baby, it's on my garage sale list now.
