Summary: 5 Stars
I just recieved this icecream maker yesterday and todayI made ice cream , vanilla with lemon cheesebars...it turned out great ! Just make sure the bowl is frozen well.The only "problem" I had was that it is a bit loud , nothing that you could,t stand for 25 min.What a joy to taste and such fun to plan what you are going to add or what kind to make.Customer Review: Worked Perfectly

We just made our first batch of Banana ice cream in this maker. It worked perfectly the first time! Setup was dead simple and operation consists of turning it on and waiting 25 minutes. The ice cream is delicious and clean up was a breeze.Customer Review: If you use it as directed, then it's great!

The first time I used this, I had frozen the bowl in our deep freeze overnight. I figured that would be plenty of time for it to freeze. When I got it out, it was only partially frozen. I tried to use it anyway and ended up with liquid ice cream. After washing and drying the bowl, I put it in two plastic bags and in a different part of the deep freeze, hoping it would make a difference. The next day it was completely frozen and made perfect ice cream. So as long as you can get the bowl completely frozen, I'd say this works nicely.Customer Review: Would buy it again

This does a great job! We bought it after our old fashioned wooden barrel ice cream maker died. This freezes the ice cream better than the old one-- the key is to freeze the bowl well and cool the mix in the refrigerator until all the ingredients are cold. My only complaint is the size of the bowl-- it is not very big at all. It takes me three batches in this one to make what my old make could make in one batch. It says two quarts but it is not nearly that big. Still a great maker and I am pleased overall. We do need a second bowl, though so we can make more than one batch. Would buy it again!Customer Review: Good Quality Product! Home made ice cream couldn't be any easier!
Summary: 5 Stars
After having bought a 6 qt Rival ice cream maker from Wal-Mart that required rock salt and ice we were really disappointed in the perfomance of the motor and the container was cheap plastic and leaked. So we returned it and bought this one from Amazon. We are very pleased with it. I bought an extra bowl since we have a large, enthusiastic ice cream loving family. At first the bowl looked small, but it made plenty of ice cream for the 5 of us to have a normal sized bowl and some left over. It is so easy to make ice cream with this, I will make one batch right after the other using the extra bowel, so that we can have extra kept on hand. It is a little noisey, but not unbearably so. In 25 minutes the ice cream is thick enough to eat. The consistency we found was thicker than that produced of the Rival ice cream maker. And when my husband used it, he just poured the ingrediants right into the bowel with the lid on and let the ice cream maker mix it. It comes with a recipe book with recipes for ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbets, and frozen drinks. One can be creative and create their own recipes making them low fat, or including blended fruit to sorbets, ice cream etc. It is best to store the ice cream in a separate container (perhaps plastic reused ice cream containers). I would definately recommend this to anyone and would be pleased to give it as a gift.
