Good, BUT
I waited anxiously for this machine and got it on time. The machine is not noisy, except as a machine. It does makes great tasting ice cream. BUT. Both batches I made haven't evn been slushy material at the end of 30 minutes. The bottom of the containere is frozen, BUT only along the rim of the bottom of the container, the rest is not capable of holding shape. It would have to be poured into a glass and drinken. I pour it into a 2 quart plastic container and put it into the freezer to set. Tastes delicious, but only after 2 or 3 hours in the freezer. I wish it would come out as ice cream! I have not made anything other than ice cream, but the shorbet looks interesting. Making the simple suger isn't too difficult and one can make big batches for future use.

NOT YOUR GRANDMA'S ICE CREAM MAKER
THIS CUISINART ICE CREAM MAKER IS AWESOME. I WAS NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO MAKE ICE CREAM BUT IN NO TIME AT ALL IT CAME TOGETHER. NOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN CRANK IT, OR MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET THE ROCK SALT DOWN IN IT, OR BE ABLE TO DARE YOUR BROTHER ON WHO CAN HOLD THEIR HAND IN THE COLD WATER THE LONGEST - IT'S THE SIGN OF THE TIMES. WHAT MEMORIES !!!! HAPPY EATING !!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ICE CREAM MAKER.

Yummy!
This is a fun product! You do need to freeze the bowl before use, so as long as you realize that, you should be good. And my first batch was the Vanilla Bean. It was/is to die for. Had I read the directions THOROUGHLY, I would have seen that this particular recipe requires the custard (which you make from scratch) is to be chilled thoroughly prior to mixing it in the machine. This recipe takes a little time but boy is it worth it!! I am sad that the other guy left a bad review for the machine when his beef was with the company's customer service before even ORDERING it. I like the first guy's idea of buying an extra freezer bowl (if you have the storage space). They include recipes for ritas, gelattos, slushies, floats, sorbet, etc. LOTS of fun!
