| I bought this ice cream maker at Target last year, and I haven't had any of the problems that other reviewers have noted. We have used it about 5 times so far, and have not had any problem with the motor. The ice cream is very soft when it is done (45 minutes or less), but that is normal, and if you let it sit in the freezer overnight it is perfect consistency the next day. There are a lot of intstructions to follow to get everything just right, but that is true for any ice cream maker. Once you get all the steps down, the ice cream is very easy to make. Definitely worth the effort! |
We haven't had much luck with this product...

| I was actually searching for other customer reviews in hopes of finding some helpful hints for this contraption. We purchased this product at Target about a year ago because we had relatives who had such good luck with their old fashioned crank-style ice cream churns. We liked the classic design and the electric mixing option. But we've had quite a bit of difficulty with this. The electric mixer seems to mix the cream too fast--often producing an almost "foamy" result. The crank method produces better results, but the crank mixing mechanism makes a lot of noise and doesn't work smoothly...and it takes a looong time for the ice cream to freeze (over 45 minutes for just a small batch--our salt/ice mixture tested 25 degrees). I was hoping I would find some positive reviews that would be helpful...but we bought a Cuisinart 2 qt. electric Ice Cream Maker tonight instead. :-( Anyone with positive experiences, please review as we'd be happy to dig this thing out and use it for company if we could know there was a way to get good ice cream in the end! Otherwise, I'm afraid that this product had a lot of potential, but is rather impractical--especially considering the fact that more user-friendly electric ice cream machines can be bought at a similar price. |
Hand Crank ONLY

| The electric motor broke down after 5 uses. Buy this only if you want a hand-crank! |
Motor is too weak

| What a huge disappointment. I bought one of these at a local store last week and returned it. It looks good. The aluminum container is relatively heavy gauge. The motor is simply not up to the task and the manual crank is poor. The motor stopped but the ice cream was still liquid. |
good-looking piece of junk

| I've made tons of ice cream with other freezers (now rusted out), but this item is not worth bothering with. The electrical mechanism shut down, the hand crank made an incredible amount of noise--sounded like the gears were stripping--and barely worked at all. We were trying to make ice cream for a social at church, so we were sweating bullets trying to get the thing to work. Finally, my husband put his heavy-duty electric drill over the metal thingy on top while my sons and I held the canister stationary, and we managed to make a freezer of decent ice cream. Just say no. |
