Yikes! White Mountain Ice Cream Makers have suddenly disappeared

White Mountain Ice Cream freezers once were king of the ice cream makers for centuries ever since they were originally introduced in 1853. Now in 2022 White Mountain has seemed to suddenly stop making ice cream makers-freezers. They haven’t officially announced this but when calling the White Mountain phone number their support staff are telling people that they are no longer being made. This leaves a huge void in the family ice cream maker options for those looking for a mid-range priced ice cream machine as well as parts for existing units.

The Amish ice cream freezers are filling the void left by White Mountain’s sudden departure from the market.




For centuries the Amish also grew up with and enjoyed White Mountain ice cream freezers to make frequent batches of ice cream for their large families.  Like so many other products that became obsolete or less dependable over the years, the Amish began manufacturing reproductions making them stronger and longer-lasting as well as replacement parts to keep what they had going.

Within the past decade, two different Amish companies developed their own brands of Ice Cream freezers to replace White Mountain Freezers. Both started off just making better replacement parts as the quality of the White Mountain parts began becoming less dependable.  Simple things like the tub centers, tub, ears, tub latches, and for the hand crank freezers higher quality USA-made stainless steel gears.  Then followed stainless steel freezer cans and dashers and complete gear frames and motor units.  As the wooden staves on the White Mountain freezer become thinner leaking tubs became a problem so the Amish started making poly-insulated tubs that didn’t leak.

Finally, the Amish companies realized that since they were already making all the parts they might as well make a complete ice cream freezer and so Lifetime and Immergood Ice Cream Freezers were born.

Immergood has also developed an ice cream freezer that operates off popular tool battery packs making it very popular for those who frequent picnics and camping adventures. Most who are outdoor adventurers already own a Dewalt, Makita, or Milwaukee tool battery-powered drill with battery packs and a charger, so it is a natural fit.

Now with White Mountain Freezers no longer available consumers are finding nothing between the small plastic ice cream makers being sold in discount stores and these Amish-made brands. During the pandemic, the Amish companies couldn’t keep up with the demand and even in 2022, there is often a wait for some of the electric models. 

You will likely pay twice to three times as much for one of the Amish brands that you may have paid for a White Mountain unit 5-10 years ago. However, inflation would have also increased the price on the White Mountain products.  At the end of 2021 those who still had a stock of the White Mountain units set premium prices. At that point, you would have been ahead to purchase one of the Amish brands because of the better all USA-made quality. The Amish build things to last and be passed down to the next generation.

Cottage Craft Works.com carries the Amish ice cream freezers-makers in both hand crank and electric models. They are also one of the main referrals for White Mountain parts as people call the White Mountain number looking for replacement parts.
