This is a perfect size for our apartment/small freezer space. I make a full batch of base, use half one day, and the other half the next! I like that we get to try more flavors that way.
Just received this and it's a lot smaller than I was expecting. I've only had a chance to use it once, but it didn't actually work in hardening into ice cream. I might've put too much in the bowl to be mixed, so I'm hoping that is the problem, otherwise I will be greatly disappointed!
I'm on my second attempt in making ice cream and have only wasted milk and cream. Despite following the instructions to the letter, after 20 minutes of churning, there's been no change in texture at all. I've been happy with the other Cuisinart products I've bought but this is a lemon and I'm planning to return it.

The ice cream maker didn’t work. Shed I turned it on, the motor made a whirring sound, but did not turn the paddle. I tried several times to get it to work but nothing ever worked. I would have loved to see it operate! I was looking forward to having a small ice cream maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little ice cream maker. We like it better than the Ninja creami we returned. Quieter also. I do wish Cuisinart had more recipes available but you can find other ones online or a book. We are going to attempt a sherbet next.
