Wonderful quiet and works great with no effort! Ice cream comes out so great and exactly as you would have expected for Cuisinart. I am thrilled with it , used it right out of the box and did one batch after another with no issues! Love it! 

Pros: All of them ..and it is extremly quiet unlike my Kitchen aid ice cream maker or my home small Cuisinart ice cream maker!
Cons: Maybe just a little heavy but , it helps it to stay stable! Love it
