I bought on Sale and got a pretty good deal if you compare to regular ice cream makers. After a use, I would recommend to buy for intermittent use as the cycle to freeze, use, let is get to room temp, clean, get it to room temp, refreeze is a bit time consuming. 
Another cons is that you have to poor the mix while the machine is operating (per instructions) and it is not that easy because of the arm getting in the way. Aka: you will make a mess. Overall decent and would buy again as I don't intend to make often and / or a lot of frozen dessert. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
