I really like homemade ice cream, and this appliance makes it simple and neat.  Since it has a freezer compressor built in I don't have to bother with messy ice and salt.  It's much quieter than regular homemade ice cream makers that requires ice, so I can set it on any counter inside my home, and it doesn't disturb us while we're talking or watching television. I really like that I can experiment with ingredients and make any flavor ice cream that I choose, and the best part is that I know exactly what me and my family are eating.   With the correct cream to milk ratio it brings the ice cream to a perfect consistency for spooning into bowls, and any that's not eaten remains a perfect consistency in the refrigerator freezer.  I think it would be better if it made a half gallon instead of one and one half quarts, but I'm satisfied with it.
