Cute but not worth it
I thought this would be a fun ice cream maker for my family, but I was really disappointed. Some of the ice cream formed a frozen layer along the inside of the bowl and the rest managed to all get clumped in the mixing blade. I waited the correct amount of time before adding a mix-in (crushed oreo cookies) and when I tried to put the top back on it was almost impossible. I had to move everything around in the bowl to make space for the blade. The ice cream is definitely soft serve and did not stay very frozen for long. Clean up is kind of a pain because the top and blade are what plug into the wall. When I removed the lid, ice cream dripped all over the counter. An easy clean up, but if you're going to eat it right out of the bowl, you'll need to either take the lid and blade directly to the sink, or be prepared to clean up your counter.
It does look cute, and does not take up a ton of space which is nice. I plan on returning mine and getting something else.
Nice little ice cream maker
I am enjoying this little ice creamer maker. I live alone and so like the fact that I can quickly make a small amount of ice cream just for one. It is very quick as predicted. You do have to get your ingredients in the machine and start it at once so that the ingredicents do not begin to freeze to the sides and stop the beaters from turning but now that I know that; I just move quickly to get it started and am very pleased with the results.
ok...but...
works ok if you tend it carefully and stop during the process to scrape the bottom and stir. also, both bowls are constantly oozing some white mineral around the seams. contacted manufacturer. they say it's harmless. i do like the fact that i can make ice cream so easily, and the small batches make it easy to experiment.
