It is a pretty cool machine but a huge pain in the butt to use. Easy to clean but difficult to use. The tops keep coming off on the sprinkles when using every time we touch the machine, ANNOYING. When you use the sprinkles they fly every where, so be ready to sweep up the floor. Again looks very cool but not a great purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear the product has been difficult to use and did not provide the experience you expected. To help reduce sprinkle spills, make sure the topping containers are fully seated and locked into place before use, and try dispensing toppings slowly with a bowl or treat positioned close to the dispenser opening.

Reliable Soft Serve Maker for Ice Cream Enthusiast

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this soft serve ice cream maker for my husband, who loves soft serve ice cream. While there are some drawbacks—such as needing to freeze the tub a day in advance and chill the ingredients before use—we were very pleased with its performance on the first try. It’s wonderful to be able to make organic ice cream at home whenever we want.
If I could give this thing zero stars I would. It did not work after freezing everything for 48 hours. Total waste of money and even bigger disappointment. Would not recommend to my worse enemy!
