So I got this as a gift for myself cause I've got a sweet tooth and ice cream is one of my favorite desserts. I hoped it would be easy and simple to use and it is and there's tons of ice cream recipes out there to try. The only hiccup with it is the process and size of the bowl to get it all working and use it. It just gets to be cumbersome. The bowl has to be placed in the freezer overnight which takes up a lot of room, then the whole process takes about half hour to mix it, then that mix can be frozen up a bit longer too. It's just a lot of cumbersome work and lengthy process. It works! But just takes a fair amount of time.
