Too noisy to be in the same room with while running...and it needs to run in order to extrude! Motor acts like a hairdryer that quits if it gets overheated, so don't try to make more than one batch in a short period. It will extrude a flow if the dish/cone is 1" below the spout...but the extruder handle gets in the way, the flow is very, very slow, and ice cream will simply drop in clumps if container is lower than the 1". Ice cream melts in the cone/dish before you get a full serving extruded.

Overall, makes soft serve ice cream but getting it out is a trick and results are simply okay. I'd try another machine.

To noisy to be in the same room while the machine is running. The whole preparation before you start to make the ice cream is ridiculous. you first have to freeze the drum for atleast 24 hours. You also have to make the ice cream mixture the day before because you also have to refrigerate that for up to a day. The machine takes way to long to make the ice cream. There is also a very small portoin of ice cream to eat. The ice cream melts very fast so you have to hurry up and eat all of the ice cream so it does not melt. When I made ice cream using this machine it took up to two hours before I could start to serve it. Plus if the drum isn't cold enough its just going to sit in the machine wasting your money because it's just using electricty to do nothing. So your electric bill is more expensive. I have to admit the ice cream does taste very good but its just to big of a hassle to make this ice cream. I rather just go to my ice cream parlor in my town and purchase a bigger and less hassle ice cream cone for two dollars. I rather buy another machine.

This ice cream maker stinks, it never mixes enough before the motor gets too hot and shuts down. I contacted the company and complained, so they sent me a new one. It does the same thing! And this after they said it was pulled from production and tested before being shipped to me. STINKS!!!

I only used this once; it was okay, and would like to try it again, but hv since moved and misplaced the manual that came with it. I hv tried in vain to find the recipes for this machine; would someone please just send me the simplest most basic recipe. I hv given up on finding a replacement recipe book. Otherwise it takes up a lot of room for nothing....thanks, MVanya TX
