Just because something touts ITSELF as wonderful....

...does not mean that it is!! I had always heard this freezer was the Holy Grail of homemade ice cream so I saved and saved until I could afford one. The first 3 times I made ice cream with it were wonderful. I boxed it up for the summer in the original box and kept it in my climate controlled garage. Today, I opened the box (I didn't even have to clean anything), mixed up 6 quarts of peach goodness, plugged in the shiny motor and it just sat there and smoldered. Thanks to the useless and crappy one year warranty on the motor, it is now a smelly paperweight. Go to Wal-Mart and buy yourself the cheapest freezer they have. I promise, it will last you longer than 3 makings!
