Document: We have really enjoyed this ice cream maker. It probably makes having delicious ice cream just a little too easy.ProsFreezes very quicklySmall applianceVery easy to use and cleanFYIYou have to find a place in your freezer and must leave the bowl there for 24 hours. I have not done any finely tuned testing on this - directions says 16-24. However, the first time I used it, I had left it in the freezer 6 hours and the liquid was not moving around. This was not a sufficient test.
this time the resulting consistency after about 20 minutes or so (I didn't dare leave it for longer, as it was going to over-churn) was that of a milkshake. Unless you stick the ice cream back in the freezer for at least a couple of hours (which I did), you won't get a thicker consistency. The ice cream WAS, however, absolutely delicious, and I'm actually pretty happy with what I got for what I paid for.
This is a great ice cream maker, but it still isn't the same as the old fashioned one. I purchased this and was able to make a successful batch of ice cream on the first try. This unit, and others like it, require that you keep it in the freezer for 16 to 24 hours prior to making ice cream in order to use it. They recommend you leave it in the freezer at all times so it will be available whenever you want to make ice cream. This takes up space.
The bowl only took 5 hours to freeze at first, despite it saying 16-24 hours to freeze. I put bags of frozen veggies inside and around the bowl, so I think that helped. It makes ice cream in less than 20 minutes for us. If you mix frozen fruit with the milk beforehand you'll have hard, formed ice cream in less than 10 minutes!! !I make guilt-free ice cream a few times per week: 1 can coconut milk, liquid stevia. That's it.
This was our first time to buy an ice cream maker so we don't have anything to compare it to, but so far we've been really happy with it. Definitely need to read the instructions before using it. The longer you leave the bowl in the freezer the better the ice cream will turn out. It doesn't take long to make but we usually transfer the ice cream to an air tight container and let it set a litte longer in the freezer.
I leave the tub in for 24 hours before using it. The tub sit into a large gear on the base. The gear is engineered so that there is no chance of slippage. The blade is then inserted. The cover follows. The cover itself has a large opening at the top.
Our family had used this many more times this month than I though we ever would have.Simple to use, just follow the directions - 15-20 minutes and you're done.We just leave the interior bowl in the freezer so it is always ready.We usually put back in freezer to let it "set" for a few more hours...but you don't need to.Good clean fun.
This product is perfect for making small amounts of delicious ice cream quickly. We have used it for ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet so far with good results. The only real preparation is having the bowl in the freezer for hours prior to beginning the procedure.. We cleared out space in the freezer and leave it there permanently so we can make ice cream without planning ahead.
;) )So far I've only used it for these two custard based ice creams. It mixes it very quickly. The first batch took only 8 minutes. The Strawberry took longer at 12 mins. So fast!!!! I put it in the freezer for a few hours after churning and it's sooooo good!I have noticed that as the ice cream freezes it tends to huddle in the middle of the bowl rather than rotating properly. I just take a small spatula and push it off the paddle.
I got this  because I find making my own ice cream quite novel. The machine is good. You freeze the bowl instead of using ice and salt. The bowl needs to be put in the freezer for 10-12 hours for 25 minutes of churning, which is the longest I've had to do for a recipe. Overnight if you're worried it will take longer to churn your ice cream. Can't find anything wrong with it, besides the pretty short cord, only about 2 feet long.
Answer: I put mine in the freezer right after I clean it and it stays in there until I use it next time.  I haven't had any problems.
