Highly recommend...
This thing will become your best friend if you love icecream.. It is super simple and really fast. (if you wait for it to completely freeze) It comes out like soft serve. But it hardens very quickly if put in the freezer inside the freezing container. Just watch for scratching the inside of the bowl.. Things can get hard to get out once set. We let it set on the counter for about 10 mins. and it is easier to work with. We are bad and we don't really follow the recipe book.. If you want richer icecream, substitute the milk with half & half and use the whipping cream it calls for then add any kind of additions in the last 5 mins. YUMMY..

Good value; great ice cream
This is a great little ice cream maker. The first time we used it we tried the vanilla ice cream recipe: Warning--unless you like lots of "fat" on the roof of your mouth DON'T use heavy cream. At least for our family, it was much too rich. The secone time we adapted an old family recipe and it was wonderful. Our only problem was that we didn't puree the strawberries and they clumped up around the "stirer"--I don't know the technical term for it. It's really fast. We're looking forward to trying more recipes--without heavy cream!

Cuisanart Icecream maker
I agree with most people's response to this maker in that one must freeze container to the ultimate before use, and still, it sometimes does not make hard ice cream, but hard enough for my taste. The ice cream is fantastic! It is definitely noisey, I think very noisey in fact, so you want to make the ice cream in advance BEFORE guests arrive, which then gives you the opportunity to harden it up a bit in freezer before eating.
It is definitely a pain-free way to make great ice cream. Glad we got it and good product.
