I love making ice cream and in the microcosm of my family, I was famous for the very best peppermint ice cream in our universe, and then, my ice cream maker finally died the death of a faithful workhorse. My husband, the kitchen tool researcher, after many hours of reading, bought this little machine home. I can get used to storing the ice cream container in the freezer and only being able to make ice cream every 24 hours. I can get used to the idea that the machine itself has no freezer. I can even get used to the fact that you can only make 4-5 cups of ice cream per batch or you have a semi-solid mess oozing out of the top. What I believe is a true design flaw, however, is the cover. It clicks into two tiny indentions on either side of the top, but when you begin adding anything, it jiggles free and flops all over. If you don't hold it down until the machine is well underway, it doesn't stay down. It is irritating and can be messy. I feel guilty for not being sold on the Cool Creations because the reviews are really good and, more importantly, my husband worked so hard to find it in order to make me happy. Sigh. I'll keep trying to like it but I don't think I'll ever be sold on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s junk. I returned mine. The ice cream barely froze and the compressor made a horrible noise the entire time. Get one that has the ability to freeze without having to freeze after making.

Great product but I think that the lid should have a manual locking mechanism. The little tabs that the lid secures to are not effective and the lid can pop off

I just love my little ice cream maker! I have made from scratch recipes as well as the package starter, all ice cream is outstanding. So easy, no special talent needed to make delicious ice cream!!

This is an okay product. I have made about 10 different ice creams now, and they never freeze up quite enough to enjoy right away. They need to sit and in your freezer and set for a while. Also you really need to do your research on how to make the ice creams if you want them to be creamy and not icee.

I have had my ice60-w maker for several months. I also bought a spare freezer bowl so I can make two batches back to back. I buy a custard mix at a local dairy ready to freeze. I make at least one batch per week. Maker works great. The only problem with it is the lid it doesn’t stay in place. A better latch would be great. If there is a little ice in the bowl when starting the lid wants to jump off. Overall a great machine for homemade ice cream in minutes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this because I was diagnosed with prediabetes and high cholesterol and want to make frozen desserts that are low in sugar and cholesterol. I hoped to be able to make a quart and have it over several days. But it turns to stone in the freezer. So I can’t use it.
