The treat maker helped with meeting the needs of a group of family members.  We were able to make ice cream for those that wanted ice cream, and after an easy wash of the machine, turned to slushies and snow cones for others.  The machine offers so many options for creating delicious treats that you dont have to settle for the same treat every time.  It also makes great morning drinks for the caffeine lovers.  The treat maker works quickly and is relatively quiet.  Awesome addition to the kitchen for treat lovers.
