TERRIBLE MACHINE- DO NOT BUY!

USELESS! EXPENSIVE! I had this machine exactly one year. The motor, and plastic part it slots into, did not stay in place. They would fly apart and crack even when the ice cream mix was still runny. The ice cream was delicious when it did freeze, but this involved me holding the motor in place for 30 minutes, not very convenient! There is only one contact number to call for spare parts and assistance and they NEVER call you back. So after one year I had to throw it away. I wish I had bought the Cuisinart!

At least I got 8 months out of it

Bought this machine about 2 years ago. Made incredible stuff. Later that year it broke. The autoreverse mechanism kept reversing until the motor overheated and shut off. At that point I variously called and emailed about my problem. It obviously was never perceived as their problem. After about 6 months of calls, I finally got a replacement motor, which didn't work. I continued to attempt to get satisfaction, but never got any response. I don't trust these people who said that they would fix the problem. I asked to send the machine back and offered to pay freight. No response. I loved the gelato and sorbets I was making, but now I'm off the find a more reliable model. The freezer version by Cuisinart just doesn't stay cold enough for a big batch.
