Cuisinart ICE-200 Slushy & Soft-Serve Maker vs HiCOZY F3 Slushie & Soft Serve Maker

Both are self-cooling machines that skip pre-freezing, so the choice comes down to capacity and programs. The Cuisinart ICE-200 holds 1.7 qt, runs six presets including sorbet, frappes, frozen cocktails and wine, and has a serving handle with auto-sensing pour. The HiCOZY F3 runs five presets, adds a self-cleaning mode and dishwasher-safe parts, and is rated slightly lower by owners. Buy the Cuisinart for larger batches and dessert variety; buy the HiCOZY if easy cleanup and a smaller footprint matter more.

• Choose the Cuisinart if you want the bigger 1.7-qt bowl, sorbet and frozen-cocktail programs, and a pull-handle dispenser for parties.
• Choose the HiCOZY if you want one-touch self-cleaning, dishwasher-safe parts and a compact black machine for slushies and soft serve.
