I've been eyeing this for awhile and Wayfair had the best price for it. Used it the other night and it created the most delicious ice cream, much better than store-bought. I didn't have any issues with overflow as the other reviews mentioned, though I didn't use the recipes that came with it so am not sure if the measurements there are an issue. It is quite loud, but this isn't unique to this machine; in fact, it may be quieter than some.
