(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This is a great little thing. It comes with recipe at first u think wow that's alot to do, but do it and it's not really. It will take u around 2-3hrs for it to b ready with freezing and chilling process. It is small so I would say if ur wanting to make for family get another size.

Even for a 'removable base' ice cream maker this is still good value. It's easy to assemble, use, and clean, and it takes up very little space in the freezer in between uses.In terms of the negatives, if I want to get nit-picky:The paddle is plastic, and I have already (four months) noticed some chips in it where it has abraded against ice crystals. It's quite noisy when it runs, and if you run it for more than about 20 minutes you can actually start to melt your nascent ice-cream as the coolant warms up.However, in spite of the negative points it's still an excellent, economical ice cream maker that will take sorbets, ice creams, and even plain ices down to soft-serve texture in very short time. Just remember to put them in the freezer to finish hardening up.

Very happy with this. Lovely ice cream after only a few minutes .Not noisy, and easy to clean

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Ice Cream Consistency

I've had this a couple of weeks and have tried a few different recipes all of which do not turn the ingredients to ice cream in any length of time. It's just a sloshy mess. I have to freeze it for an hour afterwards, which kinda defeats the object I think.Anyhow, I've got it so I'll have to use it but it's not great.

After the first use I am very disappointed. Although it does make the composition colder and thicker, it doesn't turn it into icecream. You don't eve know when to turn it off. After a while I had to stop it because it became hot, and I was afraid it would get damaged. The composition wasn't smooth and creamy like an icecream, but really icey.So no I don't recommend this product.If I'm going to change my mind after more uses, I will come back and change the review ( but I don't think so).

Really important to note that you need to freeze the container first and also chill your mixture BEFORE hand to attempt to make ice cream instead of a whipped cream - it doesn't say this in the instructions so you end up with a whipped mixture you have to then freeze for 8-12 hoursIt is a cute size and does the job but i feel it's really overpriced for essentially a slow mixer - that's all it doesI also think there should be a flat lid provided to store in the freezer instead of the raised plastic lid- i used tin foil but next time i will decanter the mixture into a separate plastic container as the ice cream was too hard to scoop as the container was frozen (metal) also you may scratch the metal inside which i did when scooping out icecream

I bought this to experiment with making ice cream, and will shortly have to investigate buying a bigger one as the only problem with it is that it doesn't make enough and I have a whole family now clamouring for fresh ice cream.You do have to make sure that the custard mixture is properly chilled before pouring into the mixer, and don't expect it to be fully firm straight out of the machine -- you still have to pop it in the freezer for a while before eating. But the results are absolutely delicious.
