Rival ruined White Mountain
My family has been using White Mountain ice cream freezers for over 30 years. My father had to replace his after 15 years for reasons that were not the manufacturers fault. I bought my first freezer a couple years later. These new freezers may carry the White Mountain name, but they are no way in the same class as the originals. Rival is the new owner of the White Mountain name. The new freezers are prone to break, IMO. After 2 years, the motor on my new freezer broke some teeth off the internal gears and became unusable. My father's new Rival White Mountain had almost the exact same problem. The support process with Rival is even worse. Getting a new replacement part is impossible.

;-) Love it!!!
We have tested this Ice Cream Freezer well... we've made no less than two kinds of ice cream every weekend since it arrived... about a month now. It definitely surpasses our old one for speed of freezing, and keeping the cream mixed with the special dual action paddle.
It is very loud, but I use ours on an enclosed porch so it helps to keep the noise down.
I have had the issue that other reviewers have with the "black" around the top of lid (it's where the lid grinds against the canister while churning).
All in all though we are very happy with it, can't wait for black raspberries to come in season... it's a favorite. But we've done chocolate, vanilla (3 x's), butter pecan, peanut butter (2 x's), and teaberry/wintergreen. Recipes in the book are few but the internet provides many to choose from, I've taken several and tweeked them to suit us then added them to my files, the peanut butter has gone over very well, add hot fudge and it's just like eating frozen reese's cups!
I very much recommend this item over other brands, you can't beat the creaminess of the special paddle that double churns the mix.

Great icecream maker
The 6qt White Mountain icecream maker is just the right size for a family reunion. It is well made and looks like it will last a long time making great icecream. The directions are concise and helpful.
