[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great machine for small apartments and small freezer, very easy to use and clean, the pint is just right for two people and it is fun creating different flavors from the base recipe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ice cream maker and found that it is a great way to make all favors of ice cream in 25 minutes or less. Perfect for two people.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Basically, this mini ice cream maker serves its purpose very well with easiest and simplest operations. I would have given it a 5 star rating for the reason I just mentioned. However, the design of this machine isn't well-thought for basically two reasons, namely the insecure cover and the difficult disassembly. At the first 15-20 minutes of ice cream making process has no issue while the icecream-to-be still very soft. As the ice cream making is closer to a completion, the vibration and the jerky movement the paddle is provoking unlock the cover easily. With about 1/8 inch distance only from the unlock to lock withOUT a deeper/bigger notch. The entire cover tends to flying around which can be dangerous and may quickly damage the machine, for the cover is not secure in place but twisted with up and down at different angles. When the ice cream is done, with only ONE hand with two fingers both press down the white tabs while the other hand to pull is almost impossible. A third hand is needed to HOLD the plastic transparent cover in order to pull the red motor out of the cover.
It makes great tasting ice cream, ready in 4-5 hrs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased for my wife for Mother's Day gift. I think it makes some of the best tasting ice cream I've had! The vanilla recipe included in the user manual is very good. I would consider it is necessary to freeze the ice cream for at least several hours after mixing it as it it's a bit inconsistent in texture immediately following the mixing process. From start to "ready" is realistically about 4-5 hours. You need to combine the ingredients, refrigerate them for 2 hours, the mix the ingredients in the ice cream maker for 25 min, then transfer to a freezable storage container, and then freeze for at least 2 hours. I would also recommend purchasing an additional frozen mixing bowl so that you can make a double batch on the same day, since this ice cream maker only makes about enough ice cream at one time for approximately 2-3 people depending on how much you like to eat. I would recommend this machine for anyone that likes to occasionally eat ice cream with their own ingredients and doesn't mind spending a few minutes to make it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this one pint ice cream maker after tasting ice cream made with the larger unit. This mini makes the same amazing ice cream. I love it.
