Cuisinart Classic Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, $60

Testers praised this machine’s “no-hassle” approach: Freeze a 1 1/2-quart canister for six hours, pour in the ingredients, and come back in a half hour for “extra-creamy” results. They also liked how easily the machine came apart for cleaning. About 8 inches wide and 11 inches high.
