Poor wood construction, weak dasher

I guess wanting a good insualted type wooden bucket was needed RIVAL produces weak poor quality, Go with plastic bucket and plastic dasher is poor on performance but for cheap value it teh plastic bucket that you must buy, Presoaking wooded tub prior to use is a waste of time and fun away from family

Garbage

I bought this thing because my grandfather had a hand-crank ice cream maker, and made some of the best ice cream. Sadly, those are getting hard to come by. I was a little apprehensive about buying this, since I also remember that it was hard work churning that stuff and I fully expected the motor to burn out. It didn't, but everything else went wrong. The bucket doesn't rotate as quickly as with the hand-crank, the pail is really flimsy and bent the first time using it. Because there isn't enough torque, you can't pack enough ice around the pail to get the ice cream to freeze. This thing is a waste of money. I'm going to run around to the antiques stores tomorrow and find something that actually works.

A favorite!

My first Rival Ice Cream maker died after about 10 yrs of a lot of use and I loved it so much I ordered another immediately. I make great ice cream which is a favorite for every family event. I would never purchase any other ice cream maker - hopefully Rival will continue with this model for many years.
