Waring WCIC25 Compressor Ice Cream Maker, 2.5 qt, Stainless Steel, 420W, NSF, 120V
The Waring WCIC25 is a countertop compressor ice cream maker built for 2.5-quart batches of ice cream, gelato, sorbet and frozen yogurt. It gives restaurants, hotels and dessert shops a house-made frozen dessert program on standard 120V power, with NSF and cETLus listings for commercial kitchen use.
Self-Contained Compressor Freezing
Instead of relying on a canister that has to sit in a freezer overnight, the WCIC25 uses a built-in refrigeration compressor to chill its freezing cylinder on demand. The mix is churned and frozen in one step, and once a batch is unloaded the bowl can be cleaned and refilled for the next flavor. That turns frozen dessert production into a same-day task instead of a next-day plan.
The freezing cylinder holds about 2.36 liters, a step up from the 2-quart WCIC20, and the unit is rated at roughly 420 watts. The taller, narrower cabinet (about 10.5 in. wide) is easy to tuck onto a pastry station where counter width is at a premium.
Why Operators Choose It

- Larger batch: 2.5-quart capacity for busier dessert menus and catering prep
- Back-to-back flavors: clean and restart without waiting for the bowl to refreeze
- Commercial listings: NSF and cETLus listed, cord attached

- Standard power: 120V, 60 Hz, single-phase at roughly 420 watts
