Summary: Venting
Comments: For $129 and s l o w UPS deli I feel ripped off. With this item -- although it doesn't say it -- you still need to freeze the drums and, of course, in a couple of years the gel inside the drums will wear out. Stupid me!! I thought it had a freezing unit in it for $129 so you just turned the switch on and you did not need to plan a day ahead of time whether or not you'd be making ice cream. however maybe eone else has room to keep the drums full time in their freezer. Maybe eone else plans better than I do and isn't freezing elk, fish and fabulous fruit. Thanks for giving me space to vent. |

Summary: Great ice cream with little fuss
Comments: We've had this unit a month or so and made ice cream twice. We use the Ben and Jerry's ice cream book and the results have been great. Smooth and creamy and full of flavor. It is a real treat and the unit works great. This isn't the almost all expensive1out there or the cheapest, however somewhere in the middle. It lives up to the product description. You will enjoy making ice cream with your kids and grand kids. |

Summary: Great purchase!!
Comments: I looked for a long time at purchaseing an ice cream maker. I ended up choosing this1and I am glad I did!! It makes a wonderfully creamy ice cream with undetectable ice crystals. It's so easy, just pour in the mixture and let it go for about 20 minutes. You can walk away, which is great!! It's only slightly noisy, nothing that bothers me, however may be annoying to some. Cleanup is simple as well, although remember to leave room for your add-ins (like chips or cookies) otherwise you will overlow and make a mess (yes, I did that on my 1st time). All in all, it's a great maker for the price, I am happy with the ease of use and clean up and it's nice to be able to make 1 or 2 quarts and to be able to make 2 different flavors!! |

Summary: Nice
Comments: I got this as a early x-mas gift for my mom. We've had it for only a few days. The 1st day I chilled the bowls for about 6 hours however our freezer is not cold enough because our 1st batch did not turn out so well. I left the bowls overnight and that did the trick. I tried the mixed berry frozen yogurt and it turned out pretty well, it was easy to make. I changed it around a little bit yesterday and instead of making the yogurt with berries I used mango pulp which you can get at asian supermarkets, just follow the recipe like the booklet and it will turn out fine. 1thing about the machine I find myself doing is leaving more than 1/4 inch of space from the top of the bowl, otherwise the stuff expands over the top opening. It is easy to clean and use. The noise for me is bearable, I would not be in the same room with it however it is definitely not so bad. Make sure to read the instruction booklet before you try assembling the machine to avoid looking like a Neanderthal in front of friends and family as happened to me. |
