Did some research, read many reviews. Reviews can be very misleading. I only read the bad reviews and try to figure if they are r3al problems or just someone that does not follow the instructions.
To date I have made about 20 loads of ice cream. I use the strawberry recipe. Just modify what fruit I want to put in. I have never been disappointed. Cherry, strawberry, chocolate chip, pineapple/coconut, Oh and vanilla have all come out excellent. Would I recommend? Yes I would but first read as much as you can get your hands on about ice cream freezers. The only thing I would wish for is this one but a little more capacity.

It’s easy. It’s fast.
I’ve made 4 batches.
1) online snickerdoodle recipe, used the 2 hour pre cool recommendation and it turned out wonderfully.
2) repeat 1, but cut portion in half and did not do pre cool, and it turned out wonderfully.
3) repeat 1, but did not pre cool and it turned out wonderfully
4) did the strawberry recipe that comes with it, pre cooled overnight, and have to say it’s the best strawberry ice cream I’ve had.
Can’t wait to try others.

My son loves ice cream and could eat it everyday. I got this one so we wouldn’t have to freeze the container before using. This way we can make multiple flavors rather quickly. Makes an awesome soft serve style when finished and my son likes his firmer so he freezes his longer before eating. I only hope we don’t burn it up making so much ice cream. This is not a promotional review as I did purchase this on my own.

Bought this unit several years ago and loved trying different recipes. Great quality results, very easy to use. Loved everything about it. Unfortunately it was destroyed by flood water in my home during Hurricane Helene. I plan to replace it once my home repairs are finished.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this ice cream maker. It's easy to use and not at hard to clean at all. If you follow the directions in the manual and don't fill the tub up past the top dasher but keep it just under, the ice cream well reach the top but I find it doesn't overflow.

The quality of the ice cream consistency...firmness, solidity....is significantly better compared with that produced using an ice cream maker that requires pre-chilling a container. The motor that turns the paddle is a bit loud but tolerable. The creaminess of the ice cream, after removal from the ice cream maker, placed in a receptacle and kept in a freezer, is not different from that produced with my ice cream maker requiring pre-chilling the container as far as I can tell given the ice cream base I prepare. Would like to be able to set the timer at a time I choose rather than being restricted to 60 min and be able to independently set the timer and turn on/off the compressor. In any case, I am pleased with the ice cream produced AND the ability to make multiple batches without having to wait 24 hours while a container is pre-chilling or to have multiple containers pre-chilling.

Works great and so easy with the compressor freezer. No messing with ice or freezing bowls and you can make multiple batches one after another.
