I used the soft ice cream maker a few times now and have been completely satisfied by it's performance. I would have given the product 5 stars if the machine itself was smaller for storage purposes. The other con to the ice cream maker is buying the ingredients. 30 dollars to make simple chocolate ice cream. Sure you can make more than 1 batch but the initial hit is steep.
In addition to taking some time to get used to assembling, the add-ins jammed causing the ice cream to come out around the spout. It's almost like my ice cream got too hard and ran too slow. It tasted great and made 4 good size servings. Just going to take more practice than I hoped.
