Ok I’m gonna start by saying I bought this on a whim and thought I’d plug it in, dump some stuff in and 35 minutes later I’d have soft serve… I was wrong. It takes a day or so to get the bowl in the freezer (a struggle for my freezer) and there’s a lot of mixing and chilling BUT it is worth it! I gave this a five star rating because it’s so easy and comes with lots of recipes. Easy to clean too if you go right into the sink with it.
