Machine works OK, BUT the recipes have issues. If you follow them and don't know to NOT fill above the instructed paddle area the ice cream overflows -- a lot
The recipes advise mixing the ingredients and then chilling for 2 hours or overnight. Thought this unit was mix, pour and press button, no pre chilling
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it and the machine works wonderfully but have 1 major annoyance to the overall design of the machine. As the ice cream gets near completion the ice cream comes out the flip lid that you are to use when adding additional condiments near the end. The ice cream gets pushed up and comes out the flap and runs down the front edge of the unit. If the unit was designed to be a little taller or if the flap lip snapped shut with a seal this would prevent it from overflowing. My work around has been to put packing tape across the door to seal it while it is churning. If I need to add any condiments I peal the tape off and reapply it after all my additions have been added for the final 5-10 minutes of churning. This has kept it from running all over. It's the best ice cream and love that I can make batch after batch if desired.

Creates creamy delicious ice cream with great consistency in 25-60 minutes. Love the built in compressor that doesn’t require freezing the bowl beforehand. Looks nice on countertop. Great recipes included. Easy to use and clean.

I simply love this machine! I love the convenience of having ice cream whenever we want and it takes UNDER an hour. I turn on the machine for about 10 minutes before adding my recipe and it only takes 40 minutes to complete. AND Easy to clean. A no hassle way for us to enjoy one of our favorite treats! A dream come true for sure!

I have been shopping for an ice cream maker for a while and I am glad that I chose it. It makes wonderful ice cream that doesn’t have ice crystals later. It makes ice cream and gelato quickly and cleans up nicely.No ice or rock salt.Adding extras like nuts fruit and chocolate is a snap with the little window.
