I have a special drink that I make on Alabama Game Days and I have the smaller CUISINART Ice Cream and Gelato Maker that I have to freeze the bowl. Plus I bought an extra bowl for it, but the drink is so good that even 2 bowls could not keep up with how fast our friends were drinking the drinks so I purchased this electric one and it never stops working on Game Days or when the grandkids are here because they love to make ice cream.
