Disappointed in the machine. The instructions aren't clear and all I have gotten is soup so far, whereas other machines have brought on ice cream. It looks cool just doesn’t work. Sprinkles go everywhere so need a big bowl. I liked the recipe book. I just am disappointed overall.

Need to pre-chill the ice cream mixture in freezer

Verified Purchase:Yes
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.

I bought this soft serve ice cream maker so my grandkids would have something to do when they come to visit. We made our first batch and their first response was, “this is the best ice cream I’ve ever had”, I guess that saids it all. Putting it together and the preparation of the ice cream was so easy. I give it two thumbs up!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have used it three times following directions. It has not worked once. I am going to give it one more try. I am very upset by this given it’s promise and cost
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used this to make ice cream for 5 kids plus 2 adults! Only took about 30 minutes for the ice cream to be ready. I used vanilla ice cream recipe from the book. The kids said it was the best I’ve cream they ever had before they knew I made the ice cream from scratch! The mix ins part is a bit messy as it really shoots out but I think that probably adds to the fun for the kids lol. I expected the bowl to thaw out much faster than it actually did. We had a great maiden voyage with this little machine!
I would recommend this to a friend!
