- i like it because I can make many ice-cream in one day and do not require to put the bowl in the freezer as I used to do with my old machine.-It was good then it reduced the cooling power.The ice-cream made were partially liquid.-I have contacted the seller and after follow upthey solved the problem.-In conclusion, you are buying machine with proper customer follow up for any issues.

The ice cream maker works very well. I use to have the pre-freeze type but we do not have much freezer room any more so bought this one and have made 6 batches of different flavors, and the ice cream has come out very nice. I still make my own egg custard and it takes about 50 minutes for a full batch to be ready for the freezer. The flap on the lid is a bit flimsy but I put the lid on after I fill the tub, much easier and the machine has no problem starting up.

The only thing negative I can say about this machine is that the instructions are not well written - thankfully it is very intuitive. It's quiet for what it is, and makes ice cream/frozen yogurt in under 1 hour. Other machines, you either have to freeze the bowl or the ice cream base itself for 24 hours. So, either way, your ice cream is 24 hours away. With this thing... ice cream in under 1 hour - start to finish.
Due to the compressor, it is a bit heavy - but I think that is to be expected.

The shipping was next day, boxed like you’d buy from a store. The appearance is exactly like the display photo and it’s very easy to wipe off and keep clean. No ice or salt needed, it’s self cooking and gets so cold that you need a glove to hold onto it or your fingers wil get frost bite.
Don’t use metal scooping the ice cream, the container it’s in will get scratched.
It’s a very quiet machine, it has a setting to keep cold and one for mixing, ice cream setting then one other that slipped my mind. Will edit.
It stays cold for an hour, the ice cream mixer will stop mixing when it’s hard to turn and that takes about 20-30 min. not an hour like it says.
Right away I got ice cream that was top quality. I added half and half milk with a tiny bit of vanilla. I used a flavour you add to coffee and deserts that comes in liquid form. Then whatever I wanted inside it. Add stuff half way through or your ingredients might get dissolved into the ice cream before it hardens.
The only downside is that the mixed gets stuck in it when it is hard so you need to take it out right away after the machine beeps then spoon it off back into the container but it’s a pain because it gets all over.
It makes enough for 4 id say as long as it’s a reasonable size serving.
For kids it’s very easy, you can even pre mix portions for them to poor in and they can add their choice of extras if wanted then turn it onto ice cream mode.
If sprinkles or something goes into the mixer centre where the lid connects to it you won’t be able to put the lid on, my son got some sprinkles into it and I finally realized why it wouldn’t close.
To wash the lid, the clear plastic clips off and then you can get inside and get the water out by removing the plastic clear part from the white lid.
from having it in water cleaning.

Enjoy!!

The machine is solidly built. It is not gigantic, but it will not be staying on your countertop.

The repeated reports of the manual being bad are true. How can they engineer such a device and not understand what the users will want to know. They should have used a crayon to write it.

Here is how it works:

o It has a compressor inside which can freeze things just as your freezer can.
o It has a nice stainless steel pot that lifts out with a handle. Ingredients go into it, frozen dessert comes out.
o It has a stirring blade that churns the mixture to make it not-an-ice cube as it freezes. It makes the frozen product smooth.
o It has a motor under its lid that drives the stirrer. The lid, when locked, takes power from the base and routes it to the stirrer. So you must learn to lock the top to the base. They did not make it fool roof in the locking, but it is a minor skill to learn.

o There is a power button. That is different from the 'go'/'pause' button. Turning it on enables the display, turning it off resets everything.

o There is a menu button. pressing repeatedly it will change the icons to "Cold", "Stir", "Frozen dessert" or "Yogurt" modes.

o Ignore Yogurt mode,, which in theory is for making yogurt from fresh milk, etc, and not for making frozen yogurt. Their Yogurt mode is not to be used, their process control is terrible.

o To make frozen yogurt, use the Frozen Deserts mode to churn and freeze some already-made yogurt plus some sugar and flavours to taste. Add in berries etc late in the process.

o You can tell the machine to run its compressor only (Cold mode), freezing the material in the pot for up to 30 minutes.

o You can tell the machine to run its stirrer only, without the compressor. (Stirrer mode)

o You will really want to use the third mode -- Frozen Desserts. This runs the compressor while stirring the mixture. Add recipe ingredients gathered from the internet into the pot and start that mode. It has an adjustable time -- up to 60 minutes. Use the + - keys to change that. Inspect your product via the pause key, no later than 30 minutes because the process does require human attention to see if it is ready by then. In inspecting it, you can also unclog the stirrer. When it is ready, stop it and take the product out.

So, turn it on, it will default to Frozen Dessert mode. Add the ingredients and close it up. Press the 'go' button. Come back in 30 minutes and figure it out from there.

 This machine is super easy to use, makes perfect soft serve ice cream and is super fast. Can make ice cream in 40 minutes if mixture is chilled in fridge for a hour first. Machine automatically turns off when ice cream is done and beeps to let you know. Then it automatically goes in a keep cold mode for 1 hour after to maintain temp and texture. Highly recommended. Got the 1.2 quart and it makes about 2-3 servings. If you have a bigger family you might want to get the larger one but this one it is perfect for just my husband and I. Seems like good quality as well.

It worked well at first but it was always a challenge to get the lid off and after a few uses the piece that holds the spatula broke so now it doesn’t spin anymore. Amazon only takes returns within 30 days so I spent over $250 for an ice cream maker I used less than 10 times and now it’s garbage because there is no warranty or way to return it.

If you want to buy one, get it from a place that allows returns.

This was on sale at the beginning of the summer. My wife has a regular ice cream maker that needs to be cooled in the freezer, so this is a distinct improvement. And it works really well. Just toss the ingredients into the bowl, turn it on, and you have ice cream in an hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars A small ice cream churn, perfect peach!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023
Size: 1.2-QuartVerified Purchase
Before I go further I want to give you a recipe for delicious peach ice cream that is super easy and quick, and, if you will indulge me, a bit of reminiscence.

Five minute prep time.

You need 3 ingredients, maybe 4.

1. Canned sliced cling peaches. Mine were in "lite" syrup, I don't think it matters. Some kind of syrup.

2. Heavy cream, about a cup.

3. Vanilla extract. We used Great Value, which, to me, tastes better than McCormick.

4. Some sort of sweetener. We used Toriani sugar free Peach because that was what was on hand. If your peaches were in heavy sweet syrup, you probably don't need another sweetener.

Steps:

1. Drain the peaches, reserve the syrup. Fill the churn about 1/4 full of sliced peaches in whatever syrup sticks to them. The reserved syrup will be used to top the ice cream when it is served. If you have leftover peaches they can top the ice cream as well.

2. Add 1 teaspoon (more, less or none, to taste) Vanilla.

3. Put in the syrup, probably enough to sweeten two cups of coffee. If you use granulated sugar you may need to make simple syrup. You want to be sure that the sugar is dissolved. Maybe heat the peaches...or leave the sugar out, use peaches in heavy syrup.

4. Add heavy cream until the inner churn is 1/2 full. Do not overfill. You want close to equal parts of peaches and cream.

5. Assemble and start the machine. Let it mix for a couple minutes and then taste and adjust. We needed no adjustments.

No ice, no salt. Stop the machine when the ice cream is the consistency of firm soft serve, about 35-45 minutes. Turn it out into a prechilled bowl and let it harden in the freezer. If yours takes longer, great. I never needed to let the machine run the full hour.

Making ice cream in this gadget can be that simple. Five minutes to assemble the ingredients, and 45 minutes to an hour later you have ice cream. If you want hard ice cream, you want to put it in the freezer for a while.

The recipes in the book that is supplied with the machine are too big for the small machine, they seem to want to fill the reservoir twice. Beware. We made vanilla (mixed milk and cream), pistachio (unsalted pistachios crushed up added to vanilla, with a couple drops of green food coloring for old times sake) that was better than any commercial pistachio, simply because every bite of ice cream had enough nuts in it to give it tons of pistachio flavor.

The inner aluminum churn transfers the cold from the outer churn really well, because it fits well, don't dent it or assemble it wet. You can overchurn, so once the contents are solid, stop the gadget, pull out the beater, and use the plastic scraper to get the frozen ice cream off the walls.

My grandmother used to give me peach ice cream when I was a kid, yellow food color and artificial flavor, tasted like sweetened chemicals. Truly horrid. Then, about 30 years ago I made homemade peach, frozen peaches, cream and eggs, and it was one of the best ice creams I had ever eaten, but, ice, rock salt, and churning forever.

I expected it to be horrid, peach after all, but was persuaded to try it. I'm glad I did.

My memory of that peach made me consider getting another churn. I wanted good peach ice cream! Then I saw this gadget, no ice, minimal mess, fresh ice cream for one or two people. I have a countertop icemaker that I believe uses the same refrigerant, so I expected it to freeze well. It does.

Don't put any parts except for the all plastic bits in the dishwasher. The lid has an electric motor in it, so I would not dunk it. You do not want to dent or corrode the inner churn, and dishwasher detergent eats the coatings off aluminum. Hand wash it in mild detergent, rinse and dry well.

I want to try raspberry frozen yogurt, with whole milk Greek style yogurt and fresh raspberries. There are a ton of other recipes, coffee ice cream with actual coffee, green tea ice cream, and this machine makes all that possible. Just a cup of mix to try a recipe won't be too small for this gadget. If it is screwed up, it is just a cup of cream.

It makes Ben & Jerry's sized portions. A couple big scoops for two people and the ice cream is gone...but the good news is that you cam make more.

The downside is that it won't make ice cream for six ice cream lovers in one run. The upside is that you can make two or three different flavors without that much work.

I am surprisingly enthusiastic about this machine.

 My family loves ice cream, which keeps getting more expensive, so I decided to just look at ice cream machines out of curiosity.

The idea of being able to control the ingredients used, as well as make more healthy and lower calorie ice cream from time to time, appealed to me.

I also love the idea of making my own ice cream blends.

I saw this ice cream maker, and the built in compressor really appealed to me since you can make ice cream on the fly.

I have literally made ice cream every single day over the last 2 weeks.

Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but clean up takes 2 minutes.

The first "ice cream" I made, consisted of nothing more than unsweetened almond milk, vanilla and agave nectar. I figured that if that tasted good, it could only get better from there. I just dumped all three ingredients in and powered it on. Nothing else but waiting about 35 minutes.

When it was done, I tasted it and actually enjoyed it. At that point, it was game on.

First, let me share the easiest vanilla ice cream there is that tastes very good. With this, you can add all sorts of ingredients to fancy it up.

Into the freezing bowl (chamber), pour in:
7 oz (half a can) fat free sweetened condensed milk
4 cups fat free half and half
2 table spoons vanilla

Turn it on to run an hour. It may be ready after 50 minutes.

It won't look like that much when you dump it in, but as it freezes and the air gets mixed it, it will be a full chamber. If you put in too much, it will overflow. My recipe above yields the most it can handle in one batch.

Pro tip: put the bowls you will be serving it in into your freezer before starting the ice cream. The ice cream is still a bit soft when done, and the frozen bowls keeps it from melting as fast.

I also have a frozen storage bowl ready if I know it won't all get eaten or if I want to make it for later. An all dairy mixture freezes very well and remains smooth and scoupable after sitting in your freezer even over night.

I do things like throwing in mini chocolate chips, almond pieces, and all sorts of other goodies.

If you make an ice cream out of almond or oat milk, you can't put leftovers in the freezer or premake it and put it in the freezer. They will essentially turn into ice and aren't capable of being served. They must be eaten immediately, and pre freezing serving bowls is required. Even my teenage son enjoys the almond milk ice cream.

I've used combinations of milk and almond milk as well. The more dairy, the smoother the consistency.

The only time I didn't just dump in the ingredients is when my wife requested chocolate almond butter ice cream using almond milk. I had to put that in a blender first to get the almond butter mixed in properly. I used Nestlé Quik powdered chocolate mix and pure maple syrup to sweeten it. She loved it.

I have some more complicated recipes involving eggs and heat, but the recipe above is so dang good that I haven't been motivated for something even more tasty.

I do plan on making a pina colada in it sometime in the next couple of weeks. I'll come back and add my results to this review afterwards.

The really big question is the durability of the machine. It seems well made, but only time will tell. If it lasts three years, I'll immediately buy another, no questions asked.

If it goes out before that, I'll post an update.

In the photo is the ingredients and finished vanilla ice cream with mint chocolate pieces I made a couple hours ago which I had leftovers.

This is a great machine! So easy to use. I have been perfecting my recipes. What I appreciate most about it is that I can make ice cream/sorbet whenever I want to. The machine is always ready to go. I add my mix, turn it on and in 40 to 50 minutes, it beeps and goes into chill mode! Whoever designed it really thought about cleanup. Be careful not to fill it more than a little past half way as the ice cream expands and you don’t want it going above the insertable bucket. It makes the perfect amount for 4 servings which, for me is just right.

I had to send the first one they shipped back as it was missing the mixing paddle. I was given an immediate refund once I shipped the return and then I reordered it. It was all there this time, so I was able to make a batch of ice cream.

The machine works well and made the ice cream fairly quickly. It is quiet and easy to use. The digital screen provides enough information to get a batch going. The ice cream we made was delicious, though we didn't let it set in the freezer so it was soft-serve.... but we liked it that way. Any stiffer and we wouldn't have gotten the paddle out of it.

I graduated to this from one of those ice cream makers where you have to freeze the bowl in the freezer ahead of time. I kind of hated that. One batch if you were lucky before the bowl wasn't cold enough anymore. Having the freezer built into the machine is a game changer. So far I've made ~25 batches and it's performing great. It's really easy to use and to clean, though the written instructions as to how to navigate the menu and set the time are laughably complex. I'd almost say don't even read it, but it's probably worth it for the amusement factor alone. Imagine if you had a 5-page guide for how to use your turn signals. That gives you a general idea.

Anyway, I highly recommend this machine for at-home ice cream making. Things to note:
- I wish I could make larger batches, but that's no fault of the machine. I knew exactly what I was buying. If I want to make numerous quarts at a time, then I need a real-deal commercial unit for thousands of dollars.
- On a related note, be aware that the volume of the end product is larger than what you start with. The churning adds air - as designed - so don't fill the bowl to the top or you're going to have a big mess. I'd say halfway is about right.
- Not specific to this machine, but it's kind of a pain to get the finished product off of the plastic mixing component that spins. Most of it will be gobbed on there when the churning is completed, and you'll want a good rubber spatula to scrape it all off into the container you'll be putting in the freezer.
- Finally, be aware that if you pause the churning process towards the end for whatever reason, it's very hard to get it started again because the ice cream freezes quickly between the plastic mixing piece and the metal sides of the bowl. I've had to give it a manual "push" a few times and I've been concerned that I'm going to burn out the motor, but so far, so good. Punch line: best not to pause it once the ice cream is really starting to thicken up.
