Really neat to have, comes with a lot of gadgets which I like but had a hard time turning the mix into soft serve, it melted so fast and not crazy how the sprinkles just shoot out into the ice cream while you're pouring it. Would prefer to be able to pour the sprinkles at the end on top. Other than that, nice product. Easy to clean up!

We received this machine as a gift for Christmas and I was concerned it would be one of those appliances you use once and don't touch again. We're on our 4th batch and our kids have requested that we never buy ice cream again because what we can make is so much better.
I work in product design and there are a few UX annoyances to me, mostly surrounding the cleaning of the machine. The auger and lid, for example, are a pain to wash and really scrub clean. But I will say that there is a very good barrier between parts that can and can't be washed. Plus, the ice cream is so good that all is forgiven.
The condiment dispenser on the side is also a little spastic. I understand it's a strictly mechanical design though without smarts, so it makes sense. I just prefer to store the sprinkles in the little containers and pop them on after. The whole mix-in concept is kind of unnecessary.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This thing is amazing and makes ice cream really fast. The only thing I would change about it is to get rid of that whole mix in contraption. It gets in the way and is an unnecessary gimmick.

Great little machine for your home and family, super easy to use and clean. This machine would be a five star if it was able to automatically modulate the consistency of the soft serve ice cream from minute to minute. Great for the price!
