The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other slow cookers, electric pressure and rice cookers, sous vide, food dehydrators, egg cookers, popcorn poppers, and ice cream and shaved ice machines we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The WMF 6130245336 stands out mainly for its size. A 0.3-quart capacity is very small, producing roughly one to two scoops per batch rather than the family-sized output most ice cream machines aim for. At just 3.18 lb it is one of the lightest machines in the category, easy to store in a cabinet or move between rooms.
The stainless steel construction gives it a quality feel that aligns with WMF's European kitchen appliance positioning. The silver finish is clean and neutral. It is worth noting this machine does not have a built-in compressor at its price point, which means some bowl pre-freezing is part of the process.
With 1,900 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, buyers have given the machine a solid if not exceptional reception. The rating reflects satisfaction among users who understood and accepted the compact format before purchasing, as the small capacity is the most polarizing characteristic.
Performance notes
Capacity is 0.3 quarts, making this a single-serving machine. The stainless steel housing weighs 3.18 lb. No wattage or compressor information is listed in available specs. The small bowl size means churn cycles are short, but output per batch is correspondingly limited.
What buyers say
With 1,900 ratings at 4.2 stars, the WMF machine has a reasonably large and positive review base. The rating suggests most buyers who chose it for its compact format came away satisfied. Dissatisfied reviews likely center on the capacity limitation rather than build quality or function.
Similar slow cookers, electric pressure and rice cookers, sous vide, food dehydrators, egg cookers, popcorn poppers, and ice cream and shaved ice machines to consider
How much ice cream does the WMF 6130245336 actually make per batch?
The listed capacity is 0.3 quarts, which is roughly 1.2 cups of finished product. That translates to about two small scoops. If you want to make enough for a family or dinner guests, you would need to run multiple cycles or consider a machine with a larger bowl.
Does the WMF 6130245336 have a built-in compressor?
No compressor information is listed in the available specs. At $152.54 and 3.18 lb, the machine is almost certainly a bowl-freeze design rather than a self-refrigerating compressor model. Bowl-freeze machines require you to pre-chill the bowl in your freezer for at least 12 to 24 hours before churning.
