Christmas gift from my sister .... BEST gift ever!  This machine is so very easy to operate and makes the ice cream making process extremely simple.  No bowl to refreeze after use and I can make batch after batch, which is pretty dang cool.  I currently have my homemade banana nut, guava, grapefruit marmalade, and nutella ice cream in my freezer.  This machine is awesome .... as is my sister!
