Elite Gourmet EIM402 Old Fashioned Ice Cream Maker with 4-Quart Vintage Wood Bucket

Timeless charm meets modern dessert making

The Elite Gourmet EIM402 blends nostalgic design with easy, everyday use. A 4-quart heavy-duty aluminum canister pairs with a 90-rpm motor to churn batches quickly, helping you achieve creamy, scoopable ice cream in minutes. The six-fin paddle infuses air for a smooth, rich texture, while the vintage wood bucket design evokes family gatherings and DIY sweets. Ice and rock salt flow into the bucket to keep the canister cooled to the low temperatures needed for churned desserts.

This machine handles a variety of frozen treats including ice cream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt. The see-through lid lets you watch as flavors develop, and all parts remove for easy cleaning. The whisper-quiet motor locks onto the bucket for a stable, safe operation, so dessert prep can stay relaxed and social rather than noisy or rushed.
