Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Cuisinart FreezeWand costs £69.99 and makes frozen desserts in three 240ml pots — 720ml in total — with five presets, and it has 3.9 stars from 127 ratings.
It takes eighth because the capacity is a third of the churning machines at a price between them and the compressors, and because 12 per cent one-star ratings is a high rate at £70.
How those 127 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 3.9 stars.
