NC501XL Deluxe family-size model

Why it may be useful

Eleven programs cover scoopable and drinkable frozen treats, including ice cream, gelato, sorbet, milkshakes and frozen drinks.
The two 24-ounce XL tubs provide more capacity for family-size batches and allow separate flavors to be prepared and stored.
Dual processing options let you process the top and bottom portions separately or prepare the entire tub.
Removable tubs, lids and processing components simplify routine cleanup.

Things to consider

Most recipes require the prepared base to freeze for about 24 hours before processing, so this is not an instant ice maker.
Processing a fully frozen tub can be noticeably loud for a short period.
Accessories are model-specific; confirm that extra tubs are compatible with the NC500 series.
Follow the manufacturer's fill lines, assembly instructions and care guidance.
