Received the ICE-48 as a Fathers Day Gift. I have used it several times with different recipes and it works well. The only flaw I see is that when the soft serve is truly ready, the machine has a hard time pushing it out of the chute consistently.

I love this machine. Twice a week we make the vanilla ice cream. It is so creamy and delicious. Very easy to make.

We bought this to entertain our grandkids, what a fun time we have with it! They love customizing their ice cream, and we love how easy it is to clean up. Definitely recommend for families.

The machine is finicky - so far I haven't been able to achieve the right consistency for smooth/not soupy soft serve. I also wish it folded down or was more compact. Finally, the toppings dispenser has proven unnecessary. Would appreciate them if they mixed into the ice cream automatically.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this because I love soft serve! It’s a lot of fun! We loved being able to load the toppings in the little compartments. We have used it a couple times now. And although I love it, there were a couple downfalls. One, lots of pieces to clean after use. Not hard to clean, but there are many parts Two, the ice cream got too thick at one point because it got very frozen in the mixing bowl. This caused the machine to stop working. Because the mixer wasn’t turning, we couldn’t serve the ice cream. We had to wait for the machine motor to cool down before it would operate again. This took about 15-20 minutes Three, once the mixing bowl starts defrosting, the ice cream starts melting. So, you have a limited window for your ice cream party. It’s not a problem if you have everybody eating ice cream. But it makes quite a bit and it does need to be eaten fairly soon. On a good note, you can save any leftovers in an airtight bowl in the freezer to eat later. Overall, I’m happy with our purchase and we have really enjoyed our ice cream parties!
