Durability **was** a major issue

by   lordnorth ,  Feb 7, 2006
Pros: Makes smooth creamy ice cream relatively quickly
Cons: Need to make a simple modification for best results.
The Bottom Line: Make the necessary modifications and you will be very happy with this machine.
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 got a new ...

Great machine

by   cherylwol ,  Sep 4, 2007
Pros: Great ice cream. Fast and easy
Cons: None
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.

Junk, DO NOT BUY

by   cparktd ,  Jun 18, 2007
Pros: Look nice

Poorly Designed

by   tooner2 ,  Jul 31, 2008
Pros: Looks good
Cons: Hard to use
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 we ...
