⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Tran - Home Baker & Parent
"I bought the Hicon Small Ice Cream Machine in February 2025 for my family, and it’s been a game-changer. My kids love making dairy-free sorbets on weekends, and I appreciate how quiet and fast it is—ready in under 30 minutes! The stainless steel finish matches my kitchen perfectly and wipes clean with just a damp cloth. The touchscreen is intuitive enough even my 10-year-old can use it safely."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Café Owner (Brew & Swirl, Portland)
"We upgraded to the Hicon Advanced Model in November 2024 after testing several machines. The water-cooled compressor has cut our freezing time by nearly 20%, allowing us to serve fresh gelato all day without lag. We’ve had zero mechanical issues in 7 months of constant use. The ability to program custom low-sugar presets has been a hit with health-conscious customers. Worth every penny for a small-batch artisanal setup."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chef Lina Morales - Hotel Dessert Executive (Grand Vista Resort)
"Our Pro Model arrived in January 2025 and now runs 3–4 batches daily for the buffet and room service. The 4L capacity and NSF certification gave us the confidence to integrate it into our commercial workflow. Unlike older air-cooled units, this one doesn’t overheat, even during peak summer service. Maintenance is minimal, and the R600a refrigerant aligns with our sustainability goals. It’s become a staple in our pastry kitchen."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Park - Nutrition Enthusiast
"I purchased the Base Model in April 2024 to make healthy, additive-free ice cream at home. The machine delivers consistent texture across soft serve and hard modes, and I’ve successfully used oat milk and avocado-based recipes. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the preset times can’t be manually adjusted beyond the defaults—but for 95% of uses, it’s perfect. The eco-friendly refrigerant and low energy draw are big pluses for me."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Frequent Host
"I got the Hicon Small Model in December 2024 for holiday gatherings, and it’s been a crowd favorite. We made milkshakes during game night and sorbet for a birthday party—everyone is amazed it’s not a commercial unit. The compact design fits under my cabinet, and cleanup takes less than 10 minutes. My husband even used the customization option to brand the front panel with our family logo—it arrived in two weeks. So fun and functional!"Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months

"The Hicon line stands out in the frozen dessert market due to its R600a refrigerant integration and water-cooled efficiency, which reduce both energy consumption and environmental impact. Among home-to-commercial transition appliances, it’s one of the few that meets NSF standards in its Pro tier while maintaining user-friendly design."
