We bought our machine about a month ago. I was very excited and hesitant at the same time due to different folks’ reviews. It’s is a very basic machine and easy to use. The noise level is just about what I would expect from a.kitchen appliance in use. Right outta the gate I blew it!! I forgot to turn the machine before pouring the ingredients in..... HA! My husband tried to save the day, but the ingredients had started to set right away. I just had to quickly rinse the bowl and start over. Fortunately, the bowl had frozen hard enough and we worked fast!! The ice cream was creamy and very tasty!! The grandkids just love the taste and think Grampa and gramma are so AWESOME.....Gotta love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have been making ice cream almost every week since I got this for my husband in July. Strawberry, blueberry-basil, and peach have been wonderful. This unit is small but great for 2-4 people. We make only 1-1.5 quarts at a time and don't run it too long - the ice cream is soft when we eat it & we freeze the remainder in Tupperware containers in the freezer. If you put in to much it overflows the rim of the freezing container as it churns & incorporates air. This unit works great but I'd recommend not over-filling it or running it too long. It is not a powerful motor so we don't want to burn it out. It freezes most of our batches soft-serve batches in 12-18 minutes depending on volume & cream content. We love it.

Followed the instructions exactly using a purchased ice cream mix. After over 1 hour of mixing, never changed viscosity (stayed liquid). Purchased the higher value model with compressor using the same brand of ice cream mix and it worked perfectly. Not a good choice if you need longer to mix and have no way to keep the maker cold.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very easy to use and does the job very quickly. If you store your bowl in the freezer, your ready to go at anytime. The ice cream was perfect after 20 minutes. The granddaughters are now looking forward to making slurpees next.

Easy to use but takes a while to freeze the bucket all the way. Once it is frozen it works great. I would recommend getting a second bucket although it is almost the same price as a second machine sadly.
