Many negatives, but it does the job (sometimes)

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you find it on sale, take the plunge; otherwise, or if it's for kids, hold out for something heavier-duty
Review: First, maybe I'll touch on the drawbacks of most, if not all home ice cream makers. Many reviewers are not already aware of these and therefore, pan individual ice cream makers that are actually fine FOR WHAT THEY ARE: home (not professional) ice...

Ice cream maker that Rivals none!!

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended - follow the instructions and it can't fail - BUT, you may be tempted to eat too much ice cream!!
Review: I bought it, I use it, I love it, it makes great ice cream - no hassle.

*******Before I get into the body of the review, let me clarify that this machine is not supposed to make firm ice-cream - professional ones don't even do that. It is...

A very cheap ice cream machine

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: While the idea is good, it needs better parts and some additional features to work well. I would not recommend this ice cream maker.
Review: To be fair, it's not terribly difficult to use. Keep the bucket in the freezer for a while, mix up the ingredients (a collection of recipes is included), pour them in, and turn it on. And you'll get decent ice cream - except sometimes if you pour...

Affordable For Smaller Batches

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Very good value for smaller households making smaller servings. Better choices if you need larger servings.
Review: I bought this machine after borrowing a friend's Cuisinart ice cream maker. My review is in comparison to the Cuisinart machine. If you like smaller servings, the Rival is the better choice. If you like larger servings, I'd go with the Cuisinart...

I like this machine

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Really a good investment.
Review:
UPDATE: It is electric. Just stick the tub into freezer for some 12 to 15 hours prior to use. I keep mine in there permanently so that I never have to wait when I get the ice-cream making impulse. Three removable parts (I think). There is the...

One of my favorite kitchen appliances!

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a solid piece of home kitchen equipment. For a low price, the average home cook can whip up a very special frozen treat quickly and easily.
Review: I love my little ice cream maker - in fact I have the 1 qt version. I keep the bowl in my freezer so it's ready to go at any time. The motor and shield are small enough to store easily. I've followed recipe instructions, and never had any issues...

Sounds to Good to Be True

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2004
Review: This Ice Cream maker is more of a milk shake maker than an Ice Cream Maker. I followed the instructions to a tee, all it did was mix the stuff together. I ran it 3 times and it never did freeze. Made a lot of noise and was a waste of time.

Haagen Daz, Look Out!

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2008
Review: It's my first ice cream maker and I like it a lot. I bought it because it was on sale for half price at a local store going out of business, otherwise I would probably have stuck with the occasional pint of Haagen Daz or Ben and Jerry's.

I...

A gift of Frustration

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2004
Review: I purchased this machine over other selections available at my local Shopko Store because of the RIVAL name. Because there were no instructions with it, and the only recipes are on the outside of the box, I delayed trying to use it for several...

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2006
Review: rival should be ashamed for selling such a piece of junk.
why make something that's going to shut off before the ice cream is done? i have got this thing to work once, and it was almost soup. all the wasted ingredients and high expectations...
