This is a great alternative to an ice cream maker that requires the ingredients and canister be frozen. It's much more quiet than I anticipated, which was a very nice surprise. The machine is substantial, making it feel very sturdy. I'm looking forward to all the recipes I'll be able to make at home now that I have this!
We’ve made two batches of delicious ice cream so far. It is very important not to overfill the tub as it starts to push out the add-in door and leaks out making a mess around the bucket. So don’t assume that the recipe you’re making won’t be too much- especially if you are adding things. It’s really convenient and nice not to have to freeze the bucket. Machine is a bit cumbersome and heavy.
Hard to clean the machine after churning. Even when filling the bowl with less the maximum amount the frozen product flaws out. There is a gap between the rubber seal and the body that can only be cleaned with a toothpick.
I finally broke down and treated myself to this ice cream maker. So much easier then having a canister taking up room in your freezer. So far it has been easy and has made some great ice cream Highly recommend this machine
