767 customers mention "Ice cream maker"721 positive46 negative

Customers like the ice cream maker. They say it makes perfect ice cream, is delicious, and is easy to use. The machine is great for making ice cream with children, making much more in one batch. It starts making ice cream within minutes, and in 20-30 minutes, it's at a soft serve stage.

147 customers mention "Size"104 positive43 negative

Customers appreciate the ice cream maker's size. They mention it has a large 4 quart capacity, the container is huge, and the yield is more than expected. The ice bucket is large enough so the ice doesn't wedge in between the buckets. Some say it makes enough for 15 people probably. It's light, more compact than older models, and the canister so that you can store leftover ice cream in the freezer.

"...Better than store bought. The container was huge and the yield was more than expected. Includes recipes and easy directions." Read more

"...with a lid for the metal canister so that you can store leftover ice cream in the freezer." Read more

219 customers mention "Quality"115 positive104 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the ice cream maker's quality. Some say it's holding up well and consistently producing ice cream. Others mention it's fragile and needs to be handled with care. The motor is not strong, and the machine breaks or gives out after a while.

"...metal shaft, not plastic, the canister the ingredients go in... it's not flimsy... it's the same thickness as any other...." Read more

"...That dasher stem is steel, so I'm going to make a steel cup to make this whole thing usable, so unless you have your own lathe and milling machine..." Read more

"...2nd Update - It's now November, 2012, and the mixer motor is still going strong. Alas!..." Read more

"I have struggled to keep it running, had to splice a wire once to keep it going...." Read more

189 customers mention "Ice retention"88 positive101 negative

Customers have different experiences with the ice retention of the ice cream maker. Some find it fantastic and don't need to freeze the tub like their previous machine. They mention crushing the ice before hand makes a difference, and it freezes the mash perfectly. Others say the ice cream wouldn't freeze or was melting a bit while churning. Overall, opinions are mixed regarding the ice retention capabilities of the product.

"...3rd. For people saying "it uses a lot of ice, and I had to run to the store . . . " my lord people, are we that helpless? You own a freezer, right?..." Read more

"...Ice cream salt is made for making ice cream, not thawing out roadways. One box of Morton Ice Cream Salt that is for ice cream making......." Read more

"...It incorporates just the right amount of air, and freezes the mash perfectly...." Read more

342 customers mention "Noise level"73 positive269 negative

Customers are unhappy with the noise level of the ice cream maker. They find it loud when the ice moves around in the tub and the motor makes noise when it runs, but they consider that normal for this machine.

"...Oh and yes, it is noisy. But you'd be hard pressed to find one that isn't...." Read more

"Noisy but worked great!Don't know if I can ever eat store ice cream again" Read more

"...I did this before a couple of times once it was spinning but sounded terrible, like a bad grinding, other time it wasn't spinning...." Read more

    Would like to let you people know, listen to the five star reviews, they are advising you right.............
    AMAZON will not post my reviews they are "VISUALLY DISTRACTING"

    3-16-13:

    This item deserves a little more attention, than I previously gave it. AMAZON and I were having a little misunderstanding,
    about writing product reviews. That has been perfected now. Here goes, I received this product two days ago. I have
    made two batches of ice cream since then. Both batches turned out beyond supberb. People talk about the noise, if it made
    any less noise you couldn't hear it kick off, if you were in the next room. Some people could have got loud one. I am
    speaking of the one that I purchased.

    One thing that really amazed me was, one batch of ice cream took about 45 minutes. I checked the moter, it was cool to
    the touch. The moter did not labor, and remained cool throughout the process. Because of all of the good 5 star reviews,
    was a hugh deciding factor that, I purchased this mechine. Everything the 4 and 5 stars reviewers were saying was factual.
    Listen to them, they have been owning one of these for awhile, they know. I believed them, and now I highly recommend this
    product. Look at the price, that's nothing, for a product that performs like this one. By the way, AMAZON delivered the
    ice cream maker to my door, almost before I ordered it. Fast huh?........................

    3-19-13

    Just wanted to add a little more good-time info on this ice cream maker. Still making more ice cream, got the flavors, you
    name it. This machine is putting out the cream I'll tell you. These people, talking about the noise. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
    I am not disputing anyone. However, hey, it doesn't make that kind of noise, you have to hear it enough, to hear it cut off,
    when the ice cream is made. I just can't make people understand, THE PRICE, THE FINE GOOD ICE CREAM, NO MESS, EASY, FUN,
    NOT COSTLY TO MAKE ICE CREAM ALL DAY. Better than "store bought". At first "soft serve", a few hours in the freezer, super
    ice cream. I just can't say any more better things about this machine. AMAZON will get it there, before you order it.......

    3-27-13

    I am just trying to help, some reviewers, in my opinion talk out of the realm of common sense. One reviewer stated to go to Lowes
    and buy a 40 pound bag of rock salt that, is used to melt the ice on the sidewalks, roads streets etc. People, please don't do this.
    Morton salt, that is made for ice cream making. You can buy a 4 pound box of this salt at Wal-Mart for a $1.41. Don't buy
    industrial salt that is used for roadways, steps or sidewalks. This type salt has chemicals that is used for that purpose. Ice cream salt is made for making ice cream, not thawing out roadways. One box of Morton Ice Cream Salt that is for ice cream making....

    2-17-14

    I made ice cream 5 days ago, this machine is still making perfect ice cream as the first time almost 1 year ago. I have
    had NO problems with this ice cream maker, since the day that I received it. I still highly recommend this product, for
    the price and service you will be pleased.....

    Easy to use. Makes great ice cream in about 45 minutes. Clean up is simple.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2010
    Size: 4 QuartVerified Purchase
    1st, a great value. If you get cream at a bulk store, 6 bucks for a 50 pound sack of rock salt, ice from your freezer, and a few pennies for the other ingredients (sugar and vanilla), you're looking at a gallon of high quality ice cream for 5 bucks or less. Figure you're saving 5-7 bucks a use. That means this unit pays for itself if you use if 6 times, maybe 10-20 times if you're spending a lot on added ingredients.

    2nd. Simple to use. Really well designed. Can't for the life of me understand people sticking plastic orange juice container parts to "fix" it. If it doesn't work, bring it back! Otherwise, top only goes on one way, and there's a locking feature that means that the unit must be properly assembled to fit correctly.

    3rd. For people saying "it uses a lot of ice, and I had to run to the store . . . " my lord people, are we that helpless? You own a freezer, right? Make your own ice. All it takes is just a bit of planning. Just a bit people, not invading-Soviet Russia level planning. If you have an auto ice maker on your freezer, just empty it into a very large zip lock 2 or 3 times and you're good to go.

    4th. The unit stops spinning when the ice cream reaches a given viscosity. I've made several batches of several different types and the only time the ice cream was "runny" was when I didn't break up the cookies and they clogged the mixer holes and caused the unit to stop prematurely - my fault. The other batches all came out about the same - like a very thick yogurt consistency. Into the freezer, and a day later it's getting there and 2 days later it's the same consistency as store bought. If you're getting runny ice cream, you're doing something wrong. BTW - if you use more crushed ice and/or salt, the mixture gets colder quicker, and you'll get more-crystally ice cream. If you use regular ice and/or less salt, the mixing takes longer and you get a creamier texture - adjust to desired consistency!

    5th. As for using Ben and Jerry's recipes, be aware that this can affect the mixer. Maybe BandJ's recipes require a higher torque motor. We have made several types of ice cream from the instructions that came with the mixer, and they all work great. If you load the ice cream with pretzels and what not, this might not be a powerful enough mixer.

    Great unit. Highly recommended.

    EDIT - It's now late July and I've used this mixer one or two times a week since we bought it in March, which means we've done about 30 batches (lots of kids and friends and such). Still on the same 8 dollar bag of rock salt. Have made a dozen or so of the recipes that came with the book. Love it, recommend it even more than I did a few months ago.

    2nd Update - It's now November, 2012, and the mixer motor is still going strong. Alas! The plastic bucket has a crack in it because a very zealous ice cream making person pounded on it to try to get some sticking salt/rock out after a run (argghh!). The new unit has just arrived. No issue whatsoever with the unit - it made a fantastic batch of vanilla with chocolate chips and walnuts right before its bucket was injured. I suppose I could have attempted to seal the crack, but at this price, I just decided to get a new one and use the old motor as a back up.

    Regarding some of the negative comments, it's very clear that some folks have unrealistic expectations from this machine. "It's made out of plastic, so it's cheap." The space station has a lot of plastic on it, as do Mercedes cars. "It's too big." Really? The volume of ice cream produced was not concealed! "It never froze the mixture." You're either not using the enough salt rock and ice, or you're putting warm ingredients in - everything must be very cold prior to putting them into the mixer (cream, milk and egg mixture, and so on). "The paddle wasn't stirring because it has to be firmly pushed into the motor." True. The paddle does not stir using magic - it must be affixed to the motor. "Ice cream was not completely frozen." Correct - it's a slurry to somewhat solid when it's done. Mix a bit by hand, then put in freezer until solid! "It doesn't make Ben and Jerry's flavors." Too much stuff in the mix will hinder the mixer - go buy Ben and Jerry's. This machine works well, but it's not an industrial ice-cream maker, nor is it intended to be. Used properly, it will provide you with gallons of home made ice cream with the ingredients you choose and without chemical preservatives! Great deal.

    Have only used it once but it worked very easily. Used a bag of ice and then added a bit of snow. Worked great! It was a bit loud as per some of the reviews but we will likely move it next time to the garage - no biggie. Can't wait to do it again!
