355 owner reviews, more than most models here
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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
GreenPan is better known for its nonstick cookware, but the CC009823-001 extends the brand into frozen desserts. At $385 and 25.35 lb, this is a serious kitchen appliance in both price and heft, built from a combination of metal, plastic, and silicone components. The Licorice Gray colorway fits a modern kitchen aesthetic.
With 355 reviews and a 4.0-star rating, this machine has enough owner feedback to make a reasonable assessment. A 4.0-star average at this price point is acceptable but not standout, and buyers comparing it to Cuisinart or Whynter machines in a similar range will notice those brands carry higher ratings.
No capacity or wattage data is published in the listing specs, which makes it harder to compare output directly. For a $385 machine, buyers should expect GreenPan to publish complete specs, and the gap here is a minor frustration. The 25.35 lb weight is manageable but not lightweight, suggesting this machine stays in one spot on the counter.
Performance notes
No capacity or wattage data is available in the listing specs. The machine weighs 25.35 lb and uses a metal, plastic, and silicone construction. Color is Licorice Gray. No dimensional data is listed.
What buyers say
At 355 reviews and 4.0 stars, buyers are broadly satisfied but not uniformly enthusiastic. This pattern often reflects a product that performs adequately for most users but has a meaningful minority experiencing issues, whether with consistency, noise, or longevity. The review volume is large enough to be credible.

How does the GreenPan ice cream machine compare to Cuisinart at a similar price?
Cuisinart's ICE-100 is priced around $380 and carries a 4.6-star rating across nearly 3,000 reviews, which gives it a stronger track record. The GreenPan machine at 4.0 stars across 355 reviews is newer to the ice cream category, and Cuisinart's depth of owner feedback makes it easier to assess long-term reliability.
What materials is the GreenPan machine made from?
The listed materials are metal, plastic, and silicone. No further breakdown of which components use which materials is available in the published specs, though the combination suggests a hybrid body design typical of mid-range appliances.
Is $385 a fair price for this machine?
At $385 you are in the range of compressor ice cream makers from well-established brands. Whether this machine justifies that price depends on performance data that the current review count does not fully clarify. If price is a concern, waiting for more owner reviews to accumulate would help make the decision clearer.
