The Ice Cream Maker is wonderful. It meets and surpasses my expectations. A few people said it was  loud, but compared to my 1 gallon electric ice cream freezer that you have to use salt and ice,, it's not. I am very pleased.

Pros: Looks nice setting in kitchen. Can make ice cream everyday as long as you keep the bowl in freezer. 
Cons: none that I can think of.
