The Lello 4070 Gelato Junior is a great bargain price gelato maker that does not carry the $600+ price tag of its bigger Lello 4090 "Pro" cousin; in fact, some Lello 4070 gelato makers are selling on Amazon for $137 brand new! Despite its bargain price, this gelato machine still has the same built-in compressor freezer, a removable bowl, and automatic shut-off. It weighs 33 pounds and is 11 inches by 14 inches by 12.2 inches. This gelato maker’s freezer goes down to -4 degrees F (-20 degrees C), making the Lello 4070 not only an ideal machine for gelato, but also for making smoothies, cold soups, and alcoholic drinks like margaritas and pina coladas.

One of the biggest selling points of the Lello 4070 is its low price; however, what other users have noted is this machine’s ability to churn out a batch of gelato in as little as 30 minutes. Because the Lello 4070 is a smaller gelato machine and can only make one quart of gelato at a time, it is not suited for larger families. However, for couples and/or single folks, this gelato machine is ideal. The major issue is that the ingredients chute on this machine is rather small, so getting big pieces of fruit into the aluminum bowl will require that the lid be opened. Also, some customers have complained that when the machine 30-minute alarm sounds, this does not automatically turn off the instrument or its churning, leading to a very hard and frozen gelato that is difficult to scoop out.
