I received my machine 2 days earlier than I expected so, well done, FedEx!  

I had a freezer bowl model previously, and I'm glad to have one with a compressor.  I really like the fact I don't have to wait 12 to 24 hours between batches, because I have several ideas of flavors I want to try, and now I can do them one after the other, if I want.

I haven't used the gelato paddle yet, but I'm looking forward to comparing its results to that of the ice cream paddle.
