There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
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.....
