Lello 4070 Gelato Junior Review
The Lello 4070 Gelato Junior is the perfect ice cream maker for anyone looking to make ice cream quickly and without any fuss. Unlike many ice cream makers, the Lello Gelato Junior has a built-in freezer compressor that quickly cools the ice cream mixture inside the freezing bowl. Cooling the ice cream to 4 degrees F, the Lello Gelato Junior can make ready-to-eat ice cream in as little as 30 minutes. The in-built electric time will let you know when the ice cream mixture is finished, while the transparent lid allows you to check the state of the ice cream while you wait!
But the Lello 4070 Gelato Junior isn’t just for ice cream. As well as the usual sorbet and gelato that can be made in the machine, it is also perfect for making frozen drinks or chilled soups. And with the included recipe book, you’ll have many recipes to try with your friends and family.

Jeffrey S.,
I have gone through my share of ice cream makers, but none of them compares to the Lello Gelato Junior when it comes to convenience and ease of use. You just dump the ingredients in the little bucket, put the mixer/lid on and go. You don’t have to keep the bucket in the freezer or mess with an ice-water/salt combination. You can even dump in the ice cream mix while it is still warm off the stove (you have to cook a custard ice cream base). And if you’re concerned about the noise this machine makes when running, don’t be. It is quieter than a microwave running and by far quieter than almost every dishwasher on the market – you’re not going to notice the noise from the Lello.
