I honestly didnt see enough info about the machine before I bought it. I thought the machine itself froze the ice cream mix of your choice but you actually have to freeze your mix 24 hours ahead of time. I feel like for the price of this, its more like a glorified blender. I honestly could make most of what I have made so far in my ninja blender. Thats just how I feel about it. Great concept but I feel like the machine could be better.
