Perfect in every way. I love my ice cream maker. My refrigerator was never meant to have a freezer its like a pseudo-freezer so it takes about a week for it to freeze the phrase unit. But once it does I toss in some frozen fruit and some bananas and top it off with soy milk stick the beater in And in about 20 minutes I have what I call ice cream. One time I forgot to put the beater in and went back 20 minutes later and had a solid chunk which had to melt And then had to be refrozen; So dont forget to put the feeder in.Id also like to say that I think the art department did really good by Making the ice cream and surroundings on the table match the color of the ice cream maker up above in the description.it makes such a tiny amount that its kind of like exciting and Causes me to focus on my food. Also I dont have to figure a place to keep a large amount as my freezer is limited in its abilities and size.
