Makes fabulous ice cream.  I've been sharing with family and neighbors.  The only advice I have for those making this purchase, be sure to have spatulas of various sizes so you can remove the ice cream from the crevices in the paddle.  There are several crevices and of different sizes.  None of the how to videos show the part of removing the paddle.   It will have a lot of ice cream stuck in those crevices.  Also, do not fill the mixture to the top as it expands as it goes through the mixing, chilling process. Leave at least 2 inches for expansion.  Tis better to run the second batch than have ice cream oozing out the top..  I have made coffee, butter pecan, mango, vanilla with mint chips and I highly recommend this unit and look forward to making many more flavors.  Love this machine.
