I really wanted to like it but its not working out, a family member is diabetic so we try to substitute product and its failed miserably. It freezes to the sides after a few minutes then the mixer mechanism starts stripping gears and making a horrible noise as its unable to spin. Ive even bought another tub to be sure that was not the issue. Now even following the official recipe in the book it skips gears and fails to work. Perhaps we got a lemon.

The machine does not produce soft serve ice cream . It comes out watery using the recipes in the book. I have churned it for an hour and it still doesn’t freeze up to hold shape. A disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was expecting some sort of a challenge in making ice cream for the first time. Nope. It was as easy as they made it look. From opening the box and puting the machine together to the following the recipe for delicious soft serve to eating it. I would actually given it a 4.5 but I could not figure out how to make a half star . Why not 5 stars? Because it takes to long for the bowl to actually freeze. I tried at 12 hours like the book said. No. I then tried 18 hours. No. It actually took over 24 hours to freeze properly. For me, that is way too long to wait for another go at making more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’d give it 5 stars except for the fact I needed to adjust the recipe to less milk, and the (condiments don’t come work very well when using them More like a toy) my tip is-freeze the bowl longer than specified. Thank you

The machine itself, while it does tale up quite a bit of counter space, it's fairly easy to set up and use. I tried several recipes and it always comes out the same, so if what you really want is a frosty, like the milk shakes from a restaurant, then this is a Good machine. It was just too soft for me. I thought it would be more like dairy queen but its not. That's ok, it was still fun.

I tried to make ice cream twice and both times was a MESS! First time I followed instructions to a T, but it was a halfway frozen slush that poured out the spigot. Terrible clean up because no way to remove bowl without spilling slsh all over counter. Next time I froze everything except the mix, which was chilled according to instructions. This time, the contents stuck to the sides of the container and would not allow paddle to spin. One of the worst purchases I have ever made! I can't believe Cuisinart would ruin their good name with this piece of junk!!
