  WHY DIDNT I BUY THIS SOONER?!

  We got this today and anxiously awaited its arrival. We immediately started making some soft serve and after reading reviews as well as looking up some tutorial videos, we decided to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a tablespoon of instant pudding mix (a binder) to the vanilla soft serve recipe in the manual, to thicken it up a bit. It turned out perfect!! It took right at 30min from dumping it all in and turning it on to the ice cream hitting the cones. I consider that to be some really fast ice cream! With the added ingredients the consistency was perfect! It was quiet, isn’t too big and worked great. I did notice a couple drips coming down but we also didn’t realize we were supposed to change the setting to pour the cones and honestly it was only a couple drips that landed in the drip pan anyway. The part it came from comes off to be cleaned either way so it’s not like it will stay in there to create a problem. We haven’t tried slushies yet, those will be this weekend but I already can’t wait. I have a hard time with making sure machines like this are fully cleaned and I’m always paranoid it won’t be clean enough. This came apart really easily in ways that will be simple to put back together after it’s dried off and I love that! I wavered on getting this for a long time because it’s expensive, but thought what better than making our own slushies and soft serve!! I’m so glad we did.

  Soft Serve at Home, Yum!

  I have been searching for a countertop soft serve ice cream machine and was excited for this.Prior to this machine, I've had several classic ice cream makers, a condenser unit, and a Ninja Creami Soft Serve Machine. This machine looked promising as it has a condenser unit.It does what it claims, it's super easy to use, it makes ice cream and it much quieter than my condenser ice cream unit. Price-wise, it's about the same as the Ninja but is much quieter and again - that condenser is a game changer. And I LOVE being able to have soft serve at home.The things I don't like or that concern me:- The main compartment is double-walled plastic. This is an issue for a few reasons : if this puppy is dropped once, I'm pretty sure it's done-zo. Also, being double-walled, if any moisture is trapped you're going to have issues down the line with mold and/or bacteria.- While the recommended cleaning process is easy, I find it wasteful. I noticed a lot of ice cream still on the paddle, drum, and a long the walls after the extrusion process was completed. I decided to take the machine apart to scrape all the remaining ice cream into a bowl, hoping for a serving. I was able to half-fill a 16oz container. Them I cleaned the machine by hand. It was a bit messier than the recommended cleaning process but I'd rather do it this way and get the ice cream. It would be nice if there were a mechanism that ensured all the ice cream is completely extruded.All in all, it is a good little machine after one use. I intend to put it through its paces over the coming weeks, will update if anything else pops up.21SEPT2025- uploaded video.To date I have made 4 rounds of ice cream, all delicious and creamy. The recipes in the book are pretty standard, but I used my own with excellent results.I a full recipe should yield 2 pints, plus a little extra. However, if you use the recommended cleaning method, you are will yield only 1 pint plus a little extra and effectively wash away and entire pint. Every ba

  Disappointed

  I was so excited when I ordered this ice cream machine. I’m making this reveal and I want everybody to understand that this review is about my experience and my experience only. I’m not saying this product is not good. Have two friends very happy with their machines of the same brand.My friend has a machine like this and when I went to her house, I had the ice cream that she made and I thought it was wonderful. The machine worked fast and did a great job. So I purchased one and for my disappointment It never worked. So I called my friend and asked to her to come and help me in case I was doing something wrong. And since she has a machine, she thought that she would see something that I was doing wrong and teach me how to use the machine. But she couldn’t make the machine work either. You turn it on, but it doesn’t do anything. So I guess I got a lemon, but by the time I use the machine the first time, it was more than a month after I purchased so I could not return it. What a disappointment. I wish they had some kind of warranty for something like that. I called the manufacturer and she told me that there’s nothing they can do about it. I was surprised that they couldn’t help me with this machine. They recommended me to return, but I couldn’t return it anymore. Very disappointed.

  Great product!

  Easy to use, recipes come out great! It is a little tedious to clean, but there is a clean mode that does most of the work. Other machines are really just expensive blenders and require a lot of prep work. This machine doesn’t! No pre-freezing attachments or ingredients. Just mix the recipe and pour it in. I feel like this was a great buy!

  Worked great for 6 uses—then the plastic literally crumbled. Completely unusable now.

  I almost never leave product reviews. For me to actually sit down and write one, something has to be so bad that I feel completely ripped off and cheated out of my money. That is exactly why I am writing this.To be fair, for the short period I was able to use it, it actually did what it was supposed to do. I used it maybe six or seven times, and it made great slushies, soft serve ice cream, and milkshakes. I had zero complaints about the performance initially.The problem is the absolute garbage quality of the plastic used on the top assembly/chute and latching mechanism. I bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of kitchen appliances and household machines over the last few years, so I know what decent build quality looks like. The plastic on this machine is so cheap and brittle that it literally crumbles.First, one of the closing latch mechanisms crumbled and broke off. Then another one followed right after.Because the housing/latch system failed, the unit can no longer seal. It is now completely unusable, doesn't make slushies, and just leaks liquid all over the place.Save your money. A machine at this price point shouldn't fall apart and become trash after half a dozen uses.Let me know if you want to add or tweak anything before posting!

  Amazing ice cream!

  Saw this ice cream maker on a PBS sponsorship promo. So, I was inclined to like it, but I'm IMPRESSED!Malted milk shakes at home. I know my ingredients, mix/match my recipes and can have it lickety-split. Tastes amazing, froze quickly, milkshake texture, not loud.Whatever team designed this should be designing cars, buildings, electronics and anything else the public needs to be functional, have ease-of-use, explicit instructions and a large dose of common sense!
