I bought this because I have always trusted the quality of Cuisinart products. But I tried two different recipes and each time, once the "ice cream" was transferred to the freezer, they became solid block of frozen ingredients. I could only break them up with an ice pick... and that after it had been thawing for over an hour.

I start it. Insert my 3 ingredients: cream, milk and creamy peanut butter. It conks out. So now I just hand turn until it's mixed and I get a wet, cold tasty dessert.

The plastic gear in the unit broke after a few uses.

Not too impressed. The ice cream maker could not even contain my full receipt. I had to mix it in a separate bowl, then pour 1/2 of it in the ice cream mixer. After 20 mins., it really wasn't much different than then when I first put it in, still very thin and not frozen @ all. I poured the liquid into a container and put it in my freezer and it froze, somewhat. Very soft ice cream. I could have make this without the ice cream maker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
