My wife and I got this a few weeks ago. She grew up eating homemade ice cream so she was super excited. We've used this several times and we take enjoy it and love the two different options of ice cream or Popsicles. The ice cream works better when the mixture is chilled before hand. The popsicle maker is great, we made some smoothies and dropped them into the freezer and it made a healthy afternoon snack the kids loved and us as parents loved giving them. We will be trying different recipes as the vanilla recipe they offered was extremely sweet with 3/4 cups of sugar.
