This toy is a total rip off! It is 50 bucks for some plastic and a cheap ice cream maker. Problems with this toy:

1) It takes 10 minutes to get it out of the box.
2) There is no little motor to make the ice cream, this baby is manual powered. Shake it for ten minutes, stir, shake another five minutes.
3) I have no idea where they came up with the measurements for the recipes. If you make the recipes included, you'll have about 5 times more mix than will fit in the tiny little ice cream maker. Now, to put that in perspective. It would take you about an hour and 15 minutes of shaking to make that much ice cream!
4) The little gaskets in the top and bottom of the ice cream maker fall out constantly.
5) There is no insulation in the ice cream maker so water condenses on the outside and drips every where.
6) The recipes call for about 20 dollars worth of ingredients, which brings your grand total to $70 for a few ounces of ice cream. *lol* It is quite comical.

I hate this toy, but my 10-year old loves it, so whatta ya gonna do?

My six year old daughter loves this toy! First, it is a cool place for Bratz Kidz to hang out and play and an ice cream maker second. It is a toy after all, so don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.

The ice cream maker container holds less then 3/4 cup of liquid. I halved the recipe included and still had double what I could use. However, the recipes are quite simple and not as expensive as mentioned in other reviews. For basic vanilla ice cream I only had to buy half and half and a small box of rock salt (I found it at Wal-Mart next to the regular salt).

The negative is that we had to shake the container over the sink for 20 minutes because it was leaking water from the bottom (maybe because the seal wasn't tight enough). Also the rubber sealers on the top and bottom kept falling off while trying to put in the ingredients.

I won't dismiss attempting another round of ice cream-making because it was kind of fun and the ice cream maker did a good job of freezing the cream and it tasted pretty good. However, I think my daughter would be just as happy if we were to buy ice cream from the store and let her load up the snow lodge with the toppings, because that part of the toy is cute and doesn't require 20 minutes of manual labor for two licks of ice cream.

This product, over-all, is adorable and fun and seems pretty durable. I think any little girl who loves Bratz Kidz dolls would love to have this.

my daughter loves it! it's a little time consuming waiting for the ice cream to form but over all it is worth the time!

This toy, as fun as it looks, is a nightmare if you actually want to make ice cream. There is a lot on manual work to make the ice cream and its not even close to what you see on the commercials (I know big surprise). It even calls for rock salt, which I found almost impossible to find in the stores.Except for the playset itself, save your money and buy a powered ice cream maker.

This product is very durable and it made my niece very very happy. Of course there was a bit of expense to make the ice cream but the end result of the child's happiness was worth every penny. The delivery of the product was also above expectations!!!!!

Product was great for the $15 price, ice cream making part was not really functional, but for a snow lodge to use with the dolls awesome! I think as consumers we sometimes expect to much out of toys and hence lies the problem of our children being over stimulated.

My kids really like this ice cream maker. HINT: keep it clean. Ice cream is hard to clean once it has dried.

My 5 Year old begged for this gift...I was hesitant to buy it. Glad I did though, she LOVES it!! Would recommend for any young girl!

My niece absolutely loves this toy. It was not difficult to put together but it was difficult to get out of the packaging. The price of this toy is on the expensive side, especially since you need to buy the ice cream ingredients. So far ( I got it as a christmas present ) it seems durable. It didn't break and she's not tired of it. It does teach patience waiting to make the ice cream, you have to shake it by hand. This toy requires help for the young ones as in your the one who is going to be doing the shaking. Overall, my niece loves it so that's all that really matters in the end.

My DD had wanted this for Christmas. It was all she talked about, how she wanted her ice cream maker..Well, I found one for $10.00 right here on Amazon. I purchased it. After spending 20 minutes unwrapping the stupid thing..We were FINALLY ready to make ice cream!

Oh wait, no. No we weren't. Because all they give you are sprinkles! Isn't that crazy? It retails for $50.00 and you still have to buy MORE! Don't forget the rock salt! Put everything inside, shake for about fifteen minutes..And you've just made ice cream smaller than a golf ball!

This thing is horrible. Have I said that yet? I could probably do the same concept with my tupperware.
