I bought this about a month ago and I love it. My grandchildren like to help me make the ice cream. It makes enough for several ice cream cones and bowls of ice cream. I love that the sprinkles come out with the ice cream.

Have used this at least once a week since purchasing and it makes the perfect soft serve each and every time. I do with that the condiment holders on the side were more secure and I knock that top lid off all the time but works perfectly. I was a bit disappointed that it doesn't really dispense well, it kind of squirts out in parts and pieces and I thought it would work more like the larger commercial ones I guess. Overall, I would recommend this ice cream maker to a friend though. I love mine, was a good decision purchasing it.

Makes great ice cream, but with a few caveats. It is difficult to clean, with lots of nooks and crannies to collect residue. And it gets clogged up if you add any chips etc. at the beginning of processing. They should be added slowly, an only after freezing begins. Should also have a fail safe switch to prevent processing if the bowl is not in place, albeit when one is careless and not paying attention.

Selecting the right recipe is important I selected one that the ice cream was made with unflavored gelatin in it and the ice cream turned out perfect! Even thick enough for a cone!! The grandchildren love it!

It took me 4 orders to finally get all the parts. First order was missing bowl, handle, mixing part and another part I don't know what it was called, second order I got only the bowl but it didn't fit this product. Third order I did get the right bowl and last order I received all parts that were missing. All said it was a giant problem because I had bought this for my 5 year old grandsons Birthday. It did turn out ok only because it works great when you have all the right parts.

This is probably more of a novelty item than a serious soft serve ice cream maker. Even with everything as cold as possible the first portion of soft serve is kind of runny. It does thicken to a more appropriate consistency after dispensing about 1 cone's worth of ice cream. However, once it dispenses it does not come out in a steady stream, but rather, in about 4-6 inch segments. This makes it difficult to prepare that nice looking cone you might expect. The "Mix-it-in" is also more of a novelty and you are probably better off just sprinkling toppings on at the end. All of that negative being said, it is still a fun way to make ice cream for children (and adults alike). If you do not go into this appliance expecting to make soft serve like your favorite local franchise/establishment I think you can have a great deal of fun with this item.
