This appliance works well if you follow the directions. If you are making recipes other than those in the Cuisinart booklet, make sure you don't overfill the bowl, as it will overflow, making the machine harder to clean and wasting the cream, eggs, etc. There are some tiny nooks in the paddle (dasher) that are very difficult to clean without a toothbrush. We've made the Joy of Cooking custard-type recipe twice, adding strawberries that had been frozen with sugar (and then thawed) toward the end of the churning. Delicious ice cream without any additives.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was a replacement for a Krups ice cream maker I had years ago. I chose this model because it was far less expensive than the first ice cream maker, and it had a larger capacity than my first. I actually ended up purchasing two of them at the same time. Other reviews I read on this model stated that the maker was fairly loud, but it sounds pretty quiet. I have made lots of exotic flavors since the purchase. I would highly recommend it.
