Durability **was** a major issue

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2006

Review: We got one of these as a wedding gift about 4 years ago and after what I thought was operator error the plastic gear mechanism that turns the tub as well as the metal hub which keeps the dasher from turning got stripped out.

Went out and...

Great machine

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2007
The Bottom Line: Low price, easy to use, manageable noise, ice cream in 30 minutes or less. A definite buy for a family of four or less.
Review: I've read the other reviews and am surprised by the negative responses. My family has only used the Rival 8550-x three or four times now, but it has performed well.

The first two times we made ice cream via homemade recipes. The last time...

Junk, DO NOT BUY

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2007
Review: Poorly engineered paddle shaft to motor connection stripped on first use. The aluminum shaft rounded off as it does not connect well, the results being a stuck paddle in hard ice cream around the outside edges and completely liquid in the center of...

Poorly Designed

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2008
Review: Other reviewers are right about the difficulty of getting the shaft to motor connection correct. They are also correct about the outer wooden bucket not draining the water. The metal canister is flimsy, as are the brackets which broke the first time...
