Had to give 5 Stars so I didn't end up at the bottom.
I spent weeks trying different recipes I had one success out of 20+ tries. Good concept but needs work. The drive shaft immerses through your food then retracts back into the machine. There is no way to clean the shaft, I imagine there could be a lot of bacteria growing in there. Twice the blade cut the sides of two different containers putting strands of plastic into the ice cream. Returned it!
