Great product

We bought this at Sam's Club for about $60.  We didn't realize what a bargain we were getting.  We only bought it yesterday but have already used it twice and loved it.

It's easy to assemble.  I didn't want anything complicated.  This all fits together quite easily & I love that you can keep the container in the freezer ready for an impromptu ice cream party!

It's easy to clean up.  Once the ice cream on the inside of the container thaws out enough, it's just a quick wash & you're done.  All the pieces are easy to clean & there aren't any crevices for food to get stuck in.

It's easy to use.  Put it together, mix together your recipe, turn it on & pour in the mix and let it go!  It's just that simple.  There's no ice or rock salt (referring to the old kind of makers) to deal with.  The container gets super cold & freezes the ice cream really well.  Both times our ice cream has been done in about 20 minutes.

It is rather loud, though.  It's hard to carry on a conversation in the same room or watch tv in the next room with it going.  I think next time we use it, I may put it on the back deck so it won't sound so loud in the house.

We made the Very Berry Frozen Yogurt included in the recipes & it was fantastic.  We also made a Cinnamon Pear Frozen Yogurt that I got the recipe from www.AllRecipes.com.  The Cinnamon Pear is our favorite.  Both times the texture was smooth & creamy.  It does freeze very solid, though, if you have leftovers to put in the freezer.  You'll definitely need the 15 minutes thaw time before serving it.
