Isn't ice cream simply frozen custard?

Ahh, I see.
Sounds rather like a Loseley or Cornish type ice cream! I would recommend taking a trip to the Lizard Peninsula as soon as possible, and visiting the Roskilly dairy... |
I'm pretty sure I've been there (a previous partner's parents live in Truro). From what I recall the cornish ice-cream is similar to http://www.minghella.co.uk/Default.a..._ice_cream.jsp (which I prefer to Loseley's - Minghellas ice-cream is sold at the South Bank Centre BTW).
According to wikipedia, the main difference between frozen custard and high quality ice-cream is in the way it is frozen rather than the ingredients. This makes sense to me - it did seem quite different to what I'd had before. Wikipedia also says it was a huge food fad in the 1940s |

The Laps are currently in serious discussion about getting our own. We're stymied by practical concerns regarding which might be the least of a pig to clean (we don't/can't have a dishwasher and loathe washing up). Shame we don't have a garden either as they seem to be an almost ideal source of compost.
As you note, ease of both useability and cleaning determine make or break a juicer's long-term utility.

LapLap, the item above is widely available to the extent Breville has Factory Seconds outlets and eBay outlets (~20% saving I guess).
The above item is easily available as a factory second here an possibly eBay UK, e.g. 800JE factory second AUD$249 (GBP120?) on eBay.com.au.
