I purchased this Cuisinart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker about 1 month ago and am very happy with how it makes ice cream. This was a replacement for another brand that didn't work near as well as the Cuisinart. This one makes the ice cream just as described in the instructions. It comes out creamy  and delicious in no time at all. I would highly recommend the Cuisinart Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker!
