As someone who is making as much as possible from scratch, this is a machine that intrigues me. I've always wanted to make homemade ice cream at home. The directions were simple to follow. I made a slush, and it tasted creamy and indulgent. The only "con" is having to wait 24 hours for the ingredients to freeze. But the wait time is worth it! I love how I can control the ingredients.It's a great product to have!
