| I've made ice cream with this machine four times and it has been delicious every time with every recipe that I have tried. I made a mistake the first time I used it (I don't count that time), I didn't read the instructions as closely as I should have, the Deni should be turned on and the cylinder should be turning at all times, if you stop the machine during the process, it doesn't turn back on and your ice cream process is over, finished or not! Lesson learned... :) |
Makes great ice cream.

| Have had it for a little over a week. Have made ice cream 3 times. It is great. Very easy to use and clean up is fast and easy too. Haven't had it long enough to know if it will stand the test of time, but for the price you can't go wrong. |
Wonderful soft-serve style ice cream

| We've tried two different types of dessert in this ice cream maker. First we made a german chocolate ice cream with a recipe I got off of the allrecipes website. Soft serve is the best description and then it hardens up more in the freezer. Don't expect any ice cream to harden up more than soft serve. If you want hard scoop ice cream you will need to allow a couple of hours in the freezer for that. Very creamy with almost no ice crystals in it at all. We also made the espresso ice with the recipe from the instruction booklet that comes with the maker). It didn't freeze like you would think of an "ice". It was more of a slush. The machine locked up because of the ice that formed on the wall of the drum, which is what it is supposed to do to keep from breaking the paddle or burning up the motor. But, it left us scraping the ice off the sides and mixing it with the slush in the middle. It tasted fine, just wasn't an "ice". I would say if you are using this strictly for ice cream, it is a wonderful ice cream maker, but don't count on making other types of desserts. I love the top that it comes with so that you can just put the drum with the ice cream in it straight into the freezer to harden up. The design of the paddle mixes the ice cream up very well, one of the best I've seen. There are also lots of recipes that come with the instruction booklet, in case you are at a loss for what to make. I would also recommend Ben & Jerry's ice cream recipe book. Very good recipes. |

| This was a gift for my daughter, and she is enjoying it with her friends. It made a batch of ice cream very fast, with minimal noise. I'd recommend this to others. |
Nice Ice Cream Maker - Can't beat the price.

I wanted an ice cream maker that didn't use rock salt. I love this item. When the ice cream is finished churning it's consistency is less than soft serve, but once you put it in the freezer for a few hours, you are good to go. I've made strawberry, blueberry, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream and all turned out excellent. My family loves that we can make our own ice cream.
The noise it makes takes getting used to. I have to raise the volume of the TV while it is churning, as my family room is connected to my kitchen. |
