How we rate ice cream tub brands

Our review compares ice cream tub brands on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which ice cream tub brand they think is best!



Canstar Blue surveyed 1,553 Australians for their feedback on the ice cream tub brand(s) they have purchased from a supermarket and consumed in the last six months.
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via PureProfile’s accredited online research panel.



Respondents rate their satisfaction with their ice cream tub brand(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Value for money: How satisfied are you with the quality and amount of ice cream you receive for the price paid?
  • Flavour: How satisfied are you with the overall taste and flavor of the ice cream?
  • Variety and range: How satisfied are you with the variety of flavors and the range of sizes available?
  • Packaging: How satisfied are you with the ice cream tub design, including how easy it is to store and use?
  • Texture: How satisfied are you with the ice cream’s smoothness and consistency?



The winner is the brand Aussies rate highest for the things that matter most to customers, based on overall satisfaction. To see how we crunch the numbers, check out our methodology page.

Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.
