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!

Love this machine. So easy to use and the soft serve ice cream is so delicious. After seeing mine, my daughter-in-law wants one and my friend just purchased hers.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

The ice cream maker is really awesome. We have made strawberry and mint so far and both have turned out better than expected. The only downside was that the chocolate chips I had did not dispense properly. They fit through the guide, but they got stuck in the chute. A quick pulse in the food processor fixed that problem.

The 1.5qt bowl does not make a large quantity. A lot of work to put together the whole thing for 1.5qts. Plus, the soft serve dispenser does not dispense well at all. It plops out the ice cream rather than a smooth and consistent stream.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
