I’m very happy with my ice cream maker. It takes only 50 to 60 min. to make a 1 Quart of ice cream. I wish the machine could make larger portions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We purchased this ice cream maker to be able to have organic preservative and chemical additive free ice cream. What we’ve made since purchase (butter-rum pecan, and chocolate chip chocolate) have both been amazing. Each took less than an hour to mix and freeze. The machine is fabulous, easy to use and clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best aspect of this product is that it makes gelato/ice cream on demand because it is a compressor unit. It also has two churn paddles so that the product has the right air consistency, that is, either for ice cream or gelato. The price of this product was more affordable compared to other brand names. While not compact, the height easily allows it to be placed under cabinets on a counter.
The negative aspects are that it only makes one pint of ice cream/ gelato at a time. Most recipes I use are at least one and a half pints. This requires that the machine is given a short rest period during which I clean the removable container to wash it to ready it for the second churning. The clean up is extremely messy. Removing the ice cream from the paddles and the sides of the container is difficult. I feel that some of the ice cream is lost during this process. Also, if the ice cream becomes chilled to the point where the paddles can no longer turn prior to the timer going off there is no warning noise. I happened to be by the unit at the time, heard the motor and looked in and saw that the paddle was not spinning. I believe that if I had left it on long enough the system would have turned itself off so as not to overheat, but I never let it reach that point.
These are annoyances that I can live with for now but if I find myself making ice cream on a more frequent basis or when the time comes to replace this machine I will splurge on a little more expensive model from another manufacturer that remedies the negative aspects.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
