Initially I was a bit hesitant and unsure how to assemble this, but when I look into the user manual, it is so easy! I’ve been making dark chocolate ice cream and dark rum ice cream (chocolate base) with it and it’s so easy and yums! One thing is would say though is that it doesn’t comes with a physical recipe book, and you need to go to their official website to grab some simple recipe. Or you can google to find some good ones! Easy peasy and convenient! Loving it
