Carpigiani Synthesis 1

Unlike the countertop Synthesis 1, this is the standalone floor-standing version of Carpigiani's machine, and the price difference between the two reflects a genuinely bigger bit of kit rather than just a different stand - floor-standing ice cream and gelato machines typically carry a larger compressor and mix hopper than a countertop unit can fit, so they're built for sites doing meaningfully higher volume. Carpigiani is a well-established Italian manufacturer in this space, and the Synthesis 1 name covers both formats so you can match capacity to footprint without changing supplier partway through fitting out a kitchen. If you're planning for real throughput rather than an occasional dessert, this is the version to spec, but check your utility and drainage requirements against the countertop model since they won't be identical.
