What a great gadget, the ice cream is beautiful. Yes it takes a bit of prep, maybe 15 mins to make an easy custard. It’s not hard to plan ahead! Once you’ve done it once it is easy. A few hours later or the next day you add your final ingredients and then finish in the machine which takes 15-20 mins max. Yes it takes a few mins to get the ice cream off the paddle, yes it takes a few mins to scrape the ice cream out and maybe harden up in the freezer. But it’s all worth it, believe me, for amazing homemade ice cream without any additives. I’ve made blackcurrant, salted caramel and even frozen yoghurt. The family love it! If this all sounds like too much hard work then go and buy it from the supermarket and sit on your iPhone watching Netflix. Alternatively get a life and do something fun - make ice cream for your family!!

It does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to use. Makes delicious ice cream.

Makes fabulous ice cream Need to freeze the bowl for 16 hours so needs some prep

God quality product, reasonable price.

It makes nice ice cream, I also got Ben& Jerry's book on kindle and it goes well with it. Pros: - nice homemade ice cream, well blended and emulsified. Note: they will never be as soft scoop as the shop bought ice cream, but there is no lengthy chemical content obviously, just all natural ingredients. Cons: -takes space on the counter, quite heavy to move - bowl needs to be in the freezer for at least 24 hrs and you need some room in the bigger drawer at all the times, especially if you make ice cream more often - you can only really make one flavour at once and then defrost, wash and freeze bowl again (you get what I meant by having a room in the freezer at all the times). I have managed to actually make 2 different ice cream, ie light and dark, keep them cooled in the fridge ready and then make the light ones first, dish out and quickly put the dark ones in later, whilst the bowl is still frozen. However, they need to co-ordinate as the light mix would be still stuck to the frozen bowl so kind of vanilla first and chocolate afterwards is fine. It makes nice ice cream, but it is too expensive for what it is and not that practical.

Great value ice cream machine, made many different flavours; blueberry, strawberry, and variations on vanilla base with either Crunchie, Mars, Malteser etc. Only limited by your imagination. Easy to clean all the bits. Who needs an overpriced Ninja!

So easy to use. Perfect results and you can reduce the sugar content if you are worried about it. The blackberry sorbet was magnificent. There are so many blackberries in the hedgerows this year.... I've bought a new chest freezer!

I've just received my ice-cream maker and just made a couple of batches of ice-cream, so far I'm really pleased with this product. I had never made ice cream before, and found the instructions clear an easy. The resulting ice-cream is delicious and the texture very creamy. The only downside of this machine is that a smal portion of the preparation will freeze on the sides of the bowl, but I find it an acceptable loss. Contrary to any review I have seen about any freeze-ahead machine, I have easily managed to make 2 batches in one day, and I'm pretty sure I could make a third if I wanted to. I've just froze the bowl 24h for the 1st batch, then cleaned it quickly with water just warm enough to melt the remaining ice-cream, dried it with a towel and put it back in the freezer for another 5h before making the second batch. Worked like a charm!

Kids loved this and are able to independently make their own ice cream / frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt can be made in 20mins. Setting it up was a bit tricky but once done, its great.
