Purchased ethis ice cream machine a few weeks ago and have mde two batches of fresh strawberry. Works well and makes all the recipies found in ice cream books. Easy to use and clean. It's a bit larger than I thought it wouuld be so takes up some room on the pantry shelf. Haven't tried the sorbets but they will most likely work well too. Since it doesn't actually freeze the mix solid I would call it more of an ice cream "mixer" than maker. Happy with it and would recommend it.
