U.S. VS THEM

Emery Thompson	Is the only batch freezer that is 100% American made with American parts, in an American factory, using American labor and privately owned by an American family. This becomes really important when you need a spare part, technical advice or just want to talk to the president of the company! We expect your Emery Thompson batch freezer to last three times longer than the competition
Carpigiani	Carpigiani scraper blades will cost you 20 times more to operate than an Emery Thompson. The scraper blades in a Carpigiani must be replaced every six months. The Emery Thompson scraper blades are changed every four years! The Carpigiani blades will cost you $2,640 over this time period where as the Emery Thompson’s will cost you $130 over the next 4 years.
Electro-Freeze	Is owned by Carpigiani and all of their designs and most of their parts come from Italy.
Taylor	With the exception of two models – 104 and 220, Taylor batch freezers are made by a company called Frigomat in Italy. In my opinion, these machines are complicated to run and the durability is questionable.
Stoelting	Another American company that buys its batch freezers from Italy. Their batch freezers are based on designs that were created by Emery Thompson over 103 years ago and retired as “primitive” over 80 years ago. Vertical batch freezers do not perform nearly as well as a horizontal batch freezer.
Emery Thompson	Our hand made machines cost less than any of the competition – usually $2,000 - $5,000 less than the Italian machines. Why? because we do not have to pay import duties and the U.S. Dollar is far less than the Euro. Even at our lower prices (listed here on our web site),our quality far out shines all the competitors!
Bravo	An Italian made “look alike”. There is no measurable difference between the Bravo and the Carpigiani – except the price – they cost more!
Techno gel (Gel-Tec)	Another Carpigiani "look alike" only a smaller organization. With the cost of shipping from Italy and the very high Euro, all Italian machines have become cost prohibitive!
Emery Thompson	Only at Emery Thompson can you speak directly with our president, Steve Thompson regarding any aspect of the frozen dessert business. Call Steve at our factory – 718-588-7300 or even at his home 914-643-7391.
