Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker, $300

“Instant gratification!” one tester exclaimed. With this model’s built-in compressor, there’s no need to prefreeze the canister for hours, and you can make one batch right after another. The “easy instructions” also rated well. About 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 11 inches high.
