I was skeptical of an ice cream maker that "passively" chilled the ingredients, thinking it would not sufficiently cool. This was an unfounded concern. This ice cream maker works extremely well. We've made several recipes that are to die for. A bonus is that it's super easy to clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This little machine does NOT make that much noise, and produces quite delicious results! I found using fresh fruit works better than frozen due to less water (the more water, the more ice crystals, the less creamy). Love how easy it is to use! (I always cooled my mixture overnight). My machine thickened my batch of frozen yogurt in way less that 20 minutes. We enjoyed the thickened 'soft serve' texture so ate the dessert right out of the machine. Did not need to freeze more. So many more flavors to try. I bought it to have more control over what I am eating!!

This ice cream and sorbet maker was a family Christmas gift from my sister. She researched different brands and chose this. It works great. Very simple instructions guide your ingredient prep and machine use. For Christmas dinner, I put the freezer bowl in my freezer and chilled the ingredients in my fridge. The “gift” was presented after the meal and the grandkids poured the chilled ingredients into the machine and started it. Ten minutes or so later we added crushed peppermint bark to the peppermint ice cream (recipe in booklet). In less than 10 more minutes we were eating firmer-than-soft-serve ice cream. Machine worked great. There were leftovers that kept their consistency in freezer for two weeks. The machine is very easy to clean and it even fits easily in my cabinet.
I would recommend this to a friend!
