It features a locking motor mount, easy-to-clean bucket and a 4-quart aluminum canister. Simply add your ingredients into the aluminum canister, place in the middle of the bucket, layer with ice and salt and allow the electric motor do the rest. The durable churn paddle produces delicious creamy homemade ice cream, while the easy-clean plastic liner provides easy cleanup.

PERFECTION
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)
January 7, 2017

We bought a brand new complete electric unit, 4 qt., because I read of many issues with the 6 qt and it's dasher not fitting correctly and therefore not working as well as the 4 qt.
1. We received it a day earlier than expected... bonus
2. Everything that was supposed to be in the box was there and in excellent brand new condition - no shipping damages.
3. I washed unit as instructed.
4. We chose to make the Easy Vanilla Ice Cream recipe listed in the included manual. We followed the easy instructions and it worked perfectly. We stopped the unit exactly at 30 min and... perfection.
5. An hour later, we made another included recipe, Easy Chocolate Ice Cream. Again, exactly 30 min later... perfection.
6. Absolutely no mess. Used the unit on my kitchen table on a small towel just in case, but no leaks what so ever.
7. Very easy clean up. No hassles, small parts, or hard to clean areas.
8. The only problem we didn't think of was containers to put the ice cream in when storing in the freezer. But that's not their fault...lol.

Both were so delicious and I didn't have to wonder where it was made and if it's safe to eat. The kids (13 & 8) say they never want store bought ice cream ever again. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit to anyone and everyone.

Great product plus a good laugh too!

This electric ice cream churn works great. Depending on the recipe, it churns the ice cream to a slightly firm state in about 20 minutes. I've already used it 5 times, and every time, the results were perfect. As a retired teacher, I did enjoy the one error that was made during assembly. I just hope it wasn't one of my students who put the nametag on the front.

Hiccup, then success!

Looks great, nicely made, like the nostalgia effect. Problem was, whoever put the motor works together did something wrong. When you plugged it in, ready to make ice cream, put the paddles in, connect it to the motor, turn it on, the canister started turning, not the paddles!!! I could not believe it! I let it run until it stopped after 30 minutes, but there had been no mixing of the ice cream mix, no aeration as necessary to make ice cream. So disappointing with a family group of eight for dinner and dessert. I"m getting a replacement and crossing my fingers that it will be okay, mostly because of so many previous good reviews (and I like the look).

Update: I returned this item and got a duplicate because I thought the first one was defective as the paddle did not rotate, the canister did. No where in the manual did I see anything to tell me this was how they now worked. In the past, ice cream makers I had used had the paddles rotate, not the canister. My ice cream did not congeal as I said above and i returned the product. Another arrived with the same canister motion, so I researched online and found this was normal operation for this unit. I gave it another go, this time the machine never stopped, I had to stop it after 45 minutes as I was concerned about overall consistency after freezing. The ice cream came out awesome! Learning curve for an old bird, but the result was great. So, am editing my review to reflect my new rating.

I havent had home made ice cream since i was 8 years old at my grandmas. Im 39 now My brother and I picked the peaches. Then she made the mixture. Me and my brother took turns churning. Tonight i made home made ice cream for the first time myself. My daughter stood on a stool and helped. It came out teriffic. So machine is worth every penny. In a few weeks my peaches will be ripe and were going to do it again.

I became upset when I followed all directions except I didn't let the gelato cool enough before putting it in the bucket. In frustration I stuck this in my large freezer while in operation and to my surprise it handled the 0 degree Fahrenheit temperature and over 8 hours of continuous operation in that temperature. I'm sure I mistreated this device, but I woke up to incredibly tasty ice-cream and a machine that was still working. For it handling the abuse and still operating, I give it 5 stars.

The outside basin is wooden but the inside is lined with plastic- I love that because it makes it so

I have no complaints on it. The outside basin is wooden but the inside is lined with plastic- I love that because it makes it so much easier to clean the salt out. The motor is quite so using it in the house isn't an issue

Ordered for end-of-summer ice cream batches. Have made two batches so far and it's working well. No issues. I noted on some reviews there was mention of unit leaking/dripping. There's a fill-line you're not supposed to stack ice and salt past, folks. Reading the one simple page of directions can help avert some things, yep. I concur that the ice cream maker is not built as they were in the past. Yes, cheaper materials and so forth, no doubt. Time will tell how well this maker lasts.

We love this ice cream maker! It is amazing. First batch of ice cream was ready in 35 minutes. The bucket is seamless!! No more places for the ice to hang up on or the paddle. Smooth as glass!!! We love it!!!

Nothing like having an ice cream maker! My old one died, and as this one reminded me of the one my parents had when I was a kid I went for it. I love it! Just made a batch of my vegan ice cream & it came out perfectly! A friend was here while I was making it & after tasting the ice cream she started asking me all kinds of things about this maker.

Good reviews and glad I got this one.... so far.
by Junebug (5 out of 5 stars)

Used it a few days ago for Father's Day and was so glad it worked perfectly. Not sure the manual said to add some water to the ice/salt mixture but my other ice-cream machine directions said to do that to help it turn smoother and freeze well. I always check Amazon for the best reviews and glad I got this one. Nice that it is light weight, too. It took about 40 mins to stop turning. Probably used total of 2 cups ice=cream salt during processing at about 1/2 cup as needed.
