Can not get my auger to fit down tight enough to seal up so I can pour my ice cream mix in to the freezer. Can't make any ice cream. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I received this product as a gift and I was able to use it. I am satisfied with the outcome of my first soft ice cream I made. Excited to use it again for another flavor ice cream.

Need to pre-chill the ice cream mixture in freezer

The first time I used it, the ice cream didn't get thick or hard enough. It was like ice cream soup. I followed the instructions precisely - preparing the mixture ahead of time and refrigerating, and freezing the bowl in a chest freezer for 24 hours. After doing some research online, I found a suggestion that the ice cream mixture should be placed in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes before placing it into the ice cream maker. This has been the key. Still need to fine-tune the texture/thickness/consistency, but I'm happy to find that this has a much creamier texture than the old home-made ice cream freezers did.

The recipes are great and instructions are easy to follow. Ice- cream is delicious and freezes well. Mix-in option so-so; i didn’t try sprinkles - but they’d probably work well. East to clean. The main complaint I have is how much ice-cream is left on the paddle and inside the drum after it stops dispensing. I spend more time getting ice cream out of the machine after it’s done because it’s just too much to waste.

The owner’s manual includes a lot of recipes for ice creams, sorbets, frozen drinks, and sauces. I just mix everything together ahead of time in my blender, then keep the pitcher of the ice cream base in the refrigerator until about 30 minutes before I’m ready to serve. Turn on the machine, pour in the base, and that’s it. I really like the extra features too: 3 topping holders/dispensers, a sauce warmer, and an ice cream cone holder.
