If you're willing to put in the extra effort over store bought, you can get some really good dessert from this ice cream maker. It's still easier to run down to the market, but with this maker you know exactly what ingredients you're getting, and you can make it to taste or consistency you like. I used a recipe from my daughter and added fresh strawberries. Deelightful! As it came from the maker, it was about the consistency of soft serve, which a lot of folks like, but I wanted it a little thicker. An hour or so in a zero degree freezer firmed it up considerably. You can add minutes to the stirring program and this may add consistency, but it may also tax the motor by stirring in a thicker medium. We'll try it next time. My only (minor) complaint with this product is that I would have liked a lid for the maker bowl, so that you could put the bowl directly from the ice cream maker to the freezer and keep it there until eaten. This eliminates the melting that occurs when scooping it from the maker bowl to a storage bowl, since the maker bowl is frozen before starting the process. Otherwise, this is a great addition for making your own flavors of ice cream.

I ordered this ice cream maker, because my kids and I are lactose intolerant. There isn't much of a flavor selection for dairy-free ice cream around here, at least none that we really like, so this is a great solution. I froze the bowl overnight, and started a batch in the morning. Because of the churning, it warms up and loosens the consistency of the ice cream. After the first cycle, I placed it back into the freezer for an hour, and then put it through another churning cycle, and then placed it back into the freezer for a few hours more. Then viola! Homemade ice cream at the perfect consistency. The amount lasts us for a couple of weeks. The included recipes are nice, but you have to convert the measurements if you don't have the proper tools. I happen to have found some good and simple recipes online that have not let me down so far. This does take some time, but it's worth it if you love ice cream and prefer to make your own. This way, you know exactly what is in it, and can make your own substitutions as well.

Item comes in a marked box. Instructions are easy to ready. Set up is simple. We did not use any recipes included in the pamphlet.We froze our bowl for 12+ hours. Input the following ingredients and turned it on. After 40min, we had soft serve ice cream. For the last couple minutes, we have added mix-ins, such as crushed oreos or frozen strawberries through the mix-in hole at the top.1 cup whole milk1/3 cup granulated sugar1 cup heavy cream2 teaspoons pure vanilla extractMixing was efficient, the machine was quiet and it made several servings. It's also easy to clean. recommend.

We decided to first make strawberry ice cream and it turned out delicious.I opted to use a recipe I’ve had for a long time as I found the recipes included to be tricky to convert to ounces or cups. The recipes have ingredients measured both in grams and in ml and I don’t have a kitchen scale to measure grams.First I hand washed and thoroughly dried the mixing bowl, paddle and lid. I placed the mixing bowl in our freezer for 13 hours with a piece of cling wrap over the top and prepped the mixture then kept that in the refrigerator until we were ready to add it to the mixing bowl through the top hole. I turned the machine on which auto sets at 40 minutes. I left it at that time setting. I had my mixture in a large 8 cup glass measuring cup that has a spout since the circle opening is sort of small that you pour the mixture into. This worked well. From there the process is easy as the machine does the heavy work for you.After 40 minutes we had a thick shake type consistency. I placed the mixing bowl back in the freezer for about an hour and then churned it again for about 10 min. Then I placed it back into the freezer for a couple more hours. We wanted a scoop-able ice cream so more freezer time was needed. But, the wait was worth it. We had a nice fresh strawberry ice cream to enjoy.We are sure to get a lot of use from this as I don’t care for most store bought ice cream ingredients. Many have a gum base that I’m allergic to as well. This solves that problem and I’m quite pleased with this ice cream maker.Recipe I used:2 cups frozen sliced organic strawberries thawed and chopped well. To this I added 1/2 cup cane sugar and mixed well. I let that sit a bit to help bring the juices out of the berries.Then I added and mixed well:1/2 more cup cane sugar2 cups heavy whipping cream1 cup whole milkdash of saltOptional 1/2 tsp vanilla extract which I omittedNext time I’ll try adding some banana chunks to the last short churn per my son’s request but gosh this was yummy.The machine seems durable and has rubber feet on the bottom. The mixing bowl will require some room in your freezer while it chills. After the ice cream was finished I placed it into two 1 quart containers with lids. We ate 1 quart straight away and have the other for a later time. I’m excited to try out more flavors like chocolate, cherry with dark chocolate and vanilla bean.5/5 rating at this point. I’ll update if I encounter any issues going forward but this seems to be a sturdy ice cream maker.

It is not as good as the cuisinart. Ice cream was not thick enough. Maybe needs much more time. Will Try again. To be fair, I didn't follow their recipe. I use coconut cream and maple syrup. Works great with the cuisinart.
