Q-Gelato Premium Ice Cream Maker

£144.49 £159.99

Make your favourite treat, with everything you love. QOVO Q-Gelato is an ice cream maker that creates ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt and milkshakes in three simple steps: freeze, spin and scoop.

There’s no bulky compressor taking up space on your worktop. Instead, you freeze your base in one of the Freezing Cups for at least 24 hours, then load it into the machine and let it get to work. Just 2 to 4 minutes later, you’re left with something smooth, properly scoopable and absolutely delicious. It’s one of the simplest ice cream makers you’ll find.

  • Indulgent desserts, perfectly served: ice cream, lite ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, frappés and milkshakes.
  • 2 Freezing Cups included: have one freezing while you’re still finishing the last, so there’s never much of a wait between treats.
  • Mix-In preset: fold through chocolate, biscuits, nuts or more once your base is ready.
  • Respin for creamier results: give it another blend if it needs to be smoother, no need to start again from scratch.
  • Dairy or dairy-free, your call: whole milk and cream, or oat, almond, soy or coconut - it works with whatever you pour in.
  • Easy to clean: the blade and Freezing Cups and lids are dishwasher safe.

FAQs

GOOD TO 
know

Everything you need to know before making ice cream with Q-Gelato.
Ask us a question

There's a fair bit you can do with it: ice cream, lite ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, milkshakes, and whatever you fancy folding through afterwards, think chocolate chips or crushed biscuits. Eight presets in total, so one machine covers plenty of ground.

Very simply. Mix your base, pour it into a Freezing Cup, freeze it solid, then load the frozen cup into the machine and pick the preset that matches what you're making. From there, the ice cream maker blends the frozen block into something smooth and ready to eat in 2 to 4 minutes.

The cup needs at least 24 hours in the freezer, so it's one to sort the night before rather than something you start on a whim. A colder freezer's fine, just don't go below -22°C or the mix turns too hard to blend properly. Once it's frozen and loaded in, you're only a few minutes from eating it.

No, and that's on purpose. Instead of a built-in compressor doing the cooling, Q-Gelato works from Freezing Cups you prep in your own freezer, so there's nothing mechanical whirring loudly while it cools.

Each cup holds 500ml, enough for a couple of generous servings, and with two cups in the box you're never stuck waiting for one to free up before starting the next flavour.

Yes, that's exactly what the Mix In preset is for. Once your base has processed, fold through whatever you fancy, chocolate chips, crushed biscuits, nuts, cut to around 20mm pieces or smaller, and it works them through evenly.

Yes. Swap the dairy milk or cream for something like full-fat oat or coconut, and keep the sugar roughly where the original recipe has it; the mix needs at least 15% fat and sugar combined by volume to freeze and blend properly, much lower and it comes out hard and grainy rather than creamy. The Sorbet & Frappé preset works particularly well with fruit-based or dairy-free mixes.

Clean after every use. The blade and the Freezing Cups with their lids can go straight in the dishwasher (top rack, up to 70°C) or be washed by hand if you'd rather. The Blender Jar, its lid and the seal ring need a proper hand wash, they're not dishwasher safe. The main body just wants a wipe with a damp cloth, never dunked in water.
