I am so happy I received this ice cream maker so quickly in the mail.  I was so eager to use this right away. It is the perfect size and shape for my kitchen.  The color and weight of the maker were just right. I checked online before receiving this to find out everything I would be needing to make this soft awesome tasting ice cream.  I immediately added all the few items needed to make the ice cream and pushed start.  It came out pretty fast and it was the best looking thing I had seen all day.  The taste is amazing!  I am so happy to have this and recommend to everyone!
