Thank you for sharing your experience — we’re sorry the bowl isn’t freezing properly. For best results, ensure the bowl is completely dry before placing it flat in the freezer and allow sufficient time (typically 24 hours) for it to reach the correct temperature; avoid storing it near strongly scented foods. Our Consumer Assistance Center can provide further guidance or review replacement options at 1-800-726-0190. Please reference Ticket #8900519938 when you call so we can assist you directly.

The churning takes a bit of time and happens a little unevenly, but patience is rewarded. I like that the ice cream maker is so simple and easy to use. There’s one button. The mechanism is transparent and easy to understand.

I received this ice cream maker as a gift from my sister, who knows just how much I love ice cream. It was a pleasure to use—super easy, quick, and the cleanup is a breeze. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys homemade ice cream.

This is the greatest invention ever. (Exception being the Heart/Lung Machine) We are injoying fresh, natural ice cream in a myriad of flavors.

Paddle broke in first use

The paddle broke in the first use. The paddle didn’t make it through one churn before it snapped. Freezer bowl seems to work well, but now I have to either get a new paddle or return the machine.

Machine is very easy to use. There are only four parts. One stays in the freezer. Just pour in the batter and hit the 'On' button. 20-25 minutes later you have ice cream.
