 great ice cream January 22, 2007

This machine is easy to use, easy to put together, and easy directions to follow. It does exactly as advertised. I would recommend this to anyone who wants homemade ice cream at home and doesn't need a large amount.
 Works, but not as advertised September 6, 2006

When I first got this I followed the directions on the box for chocolate cookie ice cream exactly (which specified refrigerating the mixture for 30 minutes and freezing the gel canisters for 24 hours). This gave me something at about the consistency of a runny milkshake. My second try involved refrigerating the mixture for 18 hours and freezing the gel canisters for around 36 hours. That was more of a thick milkshake.
My winning formula was refrigerating the mix overnight and freezing the canisters for a week in a 0 degree (F) deep freezer. This produced fairly soft ice cream, but still definitely ice cream (it did harden in the freezer afterward). I haven't yet experimented to see what the minimum time for a refreeze is, but bringing them down from room temperature the first time took a very long time.
If you want to make smallish batches of ice cream fairly often, then this is the ice cream maker for you. It doesn't require you to get bagged ice to cool the mixture, and the gel canisters collapse to take up less space in your freezer if you just store them there full time. If, on the other hand, you want large batches or only want to make ice cream for special occasions you're probably better off with a bagged ice and rock salt model.
It worked great for me, not like the others reviewing it July 29, 2006

I made some pistaschio ice cream a little over 2 hours ago with the ice cream maker and it was my first time using it. I have great ice cream here: not hard solid frozen but a nice soft ice cream. I used more heavy cream in relation to the half and half in the recipe and it only took 25 minutes to make instead of 40 minutes. I've had the bowls that you are supposed to freeze in the freezer for the last week [maybe the other reviewers didn't leave the bowls in the freezer long enough?] and after I mixed the cream mixture with the eggs on the stove I left this mixture in the refrigerator for 3 hours instead of the suggested two in the booklet.
I had no problems with this machine, and the ice cream is very similar to the homemade I remember as a child. Also it is very quiet and believe me, it beats turning that crank and having your arm give out first anyday!
I suggest you just leave the bowls in the freezer when not in use, and chill your mixture longer before you make it up.
.....now I can't wait to make some Soy ice cream next weekend!

 Doesn't work July 26, 2006
I got this machine a couple days ago hoping to make ice cream. After following the instructions carefully and chilling the canister for 24 hours, I plugged it in, and 40 minutes later I had a few ice crystals in the mixture. Thinking I'd done something wrong, I refroze the canister after turning down the thermostat on my freezer to make it even colder. I also made sure the mixture was chilled to just above freezing before trying again. After 30 minutes mixing, I had a soupy mess with big grainy ice crystals in it, but not ice cream. I'm going to return this and get something from a different manufacturer.
Get the Cuisinart Ice Cream maker instead... July 21, 2006

Even after following the directions, chilling the gel canister for 48 hours, and chilling my mixture to the required temperature, this machine couldn't freeze anything! I bought it as a back-up to my Cuisinart machine, and Target didn't have the Cuisinart in stock. This machine isn't as loud as my other, but it is slow and doesn't make ice cream...I'd rather have the louder machine and a product at the end. I'm taking it back, mainly to let the store and manufacturer know that they need to find a new product. The Cuisinart is far easier to use, and you do not have to have the mixture pre-frozen.
