Sadly it arrived broken and it had to be returned. I will give it 3 stars simply because I did receive a full refund after it was returned.

The machine looks true to the picture and arrived fast. Unfortunately the first machine i had to return because there was a crack inside the machine. The replacement one arrived fast too, so it wasnt too bad of a wait. I found the manual to be a little lacking, I especially wish there was a go to for a basic ice cream recipe included. I made butter the first time by accident, but the second time I made a nice soft serve. It cools the ice cream mixture fast so I was very suprised. Its nice for homemade ice cream, I plan to make some batches and keep them in the freezer.

I am giving this ice cream machine two stars as it did not have clear instructions as far as a recipe to use and what amounts. I found a recipe online and tried it out in this machine but it didn’t work. My mixture froze over. It was also very loud as it tried to make the ice cream. I allowed it to melt for a few hours, drain, then run hot water through it with the cleaning cycle. I do like that it has a cleaning cycle but do not like that I cannot open it completely to clean it. The machine itself looks elegant with the white and silver accents. It does take up a lot of space. Not sure if I will be able to get it to successfully make ice cream but it has been skittle too complicated for me with this machine and the instructions it comes with.

Love this ice cream machine! Its exactly what my family has been asking me for. It makes soft serve ice cream in less than 30 minutes and is so easy to use. Clean up is super easy as well. No more store bought ice cream over here. Highly recommended.

This is a nice machine. It does make good soft serve if you find the correct recipe. My first batch was a little too soft. After adjusting the recipe the second batch came out nicer so it definitely takes a little practice to find the correct one. The reason why I gave it a 4 stars is because it is a bit big in my opinion and the cleaning is not as easy as I expected it to be.
