Deni 5530 Scoop Factory

Pros: It can make a hell out of a sorbet!

Cons: Can only pour one cup of mixture in order for it to freeze properly.

Pros: Its large and nice looking

Cons: Very expensive milk shake machine

Review: I agree completely with the previous review....terrible instructions for putting it together, but I'm a smart person so I figured it out. I followed the preparation directions completely from one of the many recipes in the book, which makes a quart of ...
