Great little personal sized ice cream maker
I wanted something to make keto-friendly ice cream for myself only (g/f can't handle lactose), this maker is very easy to use, and you can have a pint of soft serve ice cream with about 5 minutes of work, and 20-30 minutes of churn and chilling, depending on what you put into it (the more additives or alcohol to soften it you add, the longer it takes to set). So far I've made a basic mix of 75 ml (2.5 oz) heavy cream and 75 ml of a milk product, either milk, or almond or coconut or macadamia milk, with 2 tablespoons of Lakanta monkfruit sweetener (which tastes great), and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Then I flavor it as cherry vanilla ice cream (with 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling), or a loaded chocolate ice cream, with Ghirardelli chocolate sauce 2T, Kahlua 1T, mini chocolate chips 1/2 T, almond slivers 1/4 T, shredded coconut 2 t, and almond butter 2 t, amazingly good for the work involved! I love this machine, and I can make it every night with very little work (mix ingredients, chill in freezer for 15 minutes, churn in ice cream maker for 10-20 minutes, and it is ready to eat, unless you want to firm it up with another 15-30 minutes in the freezer. Rinse out the chilling bowl and put it back in the freezer for tomorrow!

Piece of crap
first off if you plan on making ice cream with it the same day you can forget about that basically you put the bowl that's like a frozen ice cube in the freezer and then put your cold stuff into the bowl and then the top part just turns it. Really inefficient because if your ice cream ingredients aren't cold enough it's never going to turn into ice cream I would say it works like an icee machine that just turns the icy stuff inside of it but it doesn't really like do anything other than look pretty kind of a waste of money because it didn't perform as an ice cream maker it basically just kept ice cream cold and turned it I don't see how anybody could turn any ice cream ingredients into ice cream using this product.

It worked GREAT for the first 3 times
It worked GREAT for the first 3 times... by the 4th time it crapped out. We made coconut icecream 4 times in two months and it crapped out... kind of sad as it was so great at first =(

Great little machine!
This is a great little machine! I am on the Trim Healthy Mama eating plan and my Tummy Tucking ice cream was time consuming to make because you had to mix the ice cream recipe and then freeze it into ice cubes before making the ice cream. The food processor did mix it well, but it was not to my expectations. With this little machine, I just put the bowl in the freezer over night, mixed my recipe and put it directly in the machine, put the paddle and lid on it, turned it on and in about 25 minutes I had great ice cream! I didn’t have to stand and watch it. I just made sure it was on the counter and it did not vibrate off or anything and left it. It worked great! It’s perfect for me because no one else in the house does the THM plan so it makes a perfect serving for me. So thankful that I found this little gem of a product. One thing to remember is to be sure you also put the bowl you will be eating out of in the freezer before you serve it up. I forgot to do this and my ice cream started melting as soon as it hit the bowl. Not a reall problem for me since I like my ice cream a little on the soft side.

Great for what it is
I eat a ketogenic diet lately but occasionally I get a powerful craving for ice cream. I can use this to make one serving of sugar free ice cream/ice milk from heavy cream and/or half and half and it works very well. It takes 10-15 minuets depending on the ambient temp to reach maximum firmness.Down side is that the motor isn't particularly strong and the paddles don't scrape very well. Sometimes it'll build up an ice crystal and stick and fling your ice cream mixture all over, necessitating more cleanup than most ice cream makers.Still, for what it is, it's fantastic and the price is right.My method is to take my cream, my sweetener, and some vanilla, cinnamon, or cocoa powder, and put it into a blender bottle Usually 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup is enough. Shake to mix, then stick in the freezer for a few minutes to get very, very cold, then I pour into the ice cream maker. Works great.I haven't tried making a custard yet, but I could I suppose and it'd be more like traditional ice cream I think.

An Excellent Ice Cream Churn For Making Portions To Suit Three or Four People.
My seven year old son purchased this with his own money. We have used it several times now and it has worked wonderfully well. He loves it!The manual is very basic and the translated English can be tricky to read at some points. It's very easy to disassemble to clean thoroughly. It's not terribly loud. You can definitely hold a conversation near it while it is running without needing to raise your voice. The whole device is about the size of a large canteloupe.So far, I would highly recommend it!

It basically works
This thing is not perfect but I have made a half a dozen batches in it so far and they have all turned out well enough.The only issues I have with it are that its rather tricky to tell how much mix to put in and that the ice cream is not very consistent. I always wind up with a really frozen outer layer going to a soft ice cream texture center. I am not sure what to do about this but I am having a perfectly good time trying to figure it out.

Did not make sense due to poor translation. I am not happy with either
They did arrive when promised. Instructions in. cyogurt maker were entirely in Chinese. Instructions for ice cream maker were impossible to decifer. Did not make sense due to poor translation. I am not happy with either.
