Love it. Recipes are included. Super easy. Fresh ice-cream is such an indulgence. My only complaint is that I forgot how small my freezer is. It's a little tricky getting the freezer bowl in to my freezer for preparation. My one other concern is the center stays more soft the the edges. It's not as consistent as I hope in the mixing or I'm too eager to start indulging. Overall, I found it to be a good investment buy.
