It works exactly how the advertisements show. My family and I have tried a bunch of different recipes from ice cream to sorbet. It works excellent. There are however, a couple gripes. 1 it’s too tall to fit under your kitchen cabinets on the counter by about a half inch. 2 it’s really noisy, I’m not sure how you fix that. It wouldn’t about as loud as a blender but runs longer. 3 there are only 2 creation cups in the bundle. This limits what you can create. If you have a family, you’ll need more cups.
