Save $201: Soft serve is my weakness, but waiting all day for it? Patience isn’t my strength. So, the GreenPan Frost ice cream maker and slushie machine, which can get me a frozen treat in as little as 15 minutes, has my attention. It’s now down to $199, half off its usual $400 price. The deal is only on the pistachio green color, but I think it’s a lovely shade.

This deal saves you $201 and puts the Frost just $20 above its lowest price. We checked its price history, and it’s also well below the 180-day average price of $356, making $199 a tempting deal for your sweet-tooth fix.

From classic soft serve and slushies to milkshakes and vegan ice cream, this ice cream maker’s six modes and seven texture settings mean you can keep the frozen treats coming. You can even make healthier, guilt-free delicacies to suit your dietary preferences. Pick a texture and start indulging.

You don’t have to pre-freeze or plan ahead — the Frost’s quiet, built-in compressor and chiller do the cooling, getting your treat ready in just 15 minutes. Plus, it handles the cleanup on its own. Just select “Clean,” and its blades will do the rest.

If $199 feels like a bit much, you can go for a CNET-favorite, the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2-quart ice cream maker. It earned the top spot as the best ice cream maker overall and is now down to $100 at Walmart. That’s $30 less than its usual $130 price. Both are good options, so it really comes down to how much you want to spend.
