 We haven't had much luck with this product... January 13, 2008

I was actually searching for other customer reviews in hopes of finding some helpful hints for this contraption. We purchased this product at Target about a year ago because we had relatives who had such good luck with their old fashioned crank-style ice cream churns. We liked the classic design and the electric mixing option. But we've had quite a bit of difficulty with this. The electric mixer seems to mix the cream too fast--often producing an almost "foamy" result. The crank method produces better results, but the crank mixing mechanism makes a lot of noise and doesn't work smoothly...and it takes a looong time for the ice cream to freeze (over 45 minutes for just a small batch--our salt/ice mixture tested 25 degrees). I was hoping I would find some positive reviews that would be helpful...but we bought a Cuisinart 2 qt. electric Ice Cream Maker tonight instead. :-( Anyone with positive experiences, please review as we'd be happy to dig this thing out and use it for company if we could know there was a way to get good ice cream in the end! Otherwise, I'm afraid that this product had a lot of potential, but is rather impractical--especially considering the fact that more user-friendly electric ice cream machines can be bought at a similar price.

The electric motor broke down after 5 uses. Buy this only if you want a hand-crank!
Motor is too weak May 12, 2009

What a huge disappointment. I bought one of these at a local store last week and returned it. It looks good. The aluminum container is relatively heavy gauge. The motor is simply not up to the task and the manual crank is poor. The motor stopped but the ice cream was still liquid.
good-looking piece of junk August 17, 2008

I've made tons of ice cream with other freezers (now rusted out), but this item is not worth bothering with. The electrical mechanism shut down, the hand crank made an incredible amount of noise--sounded like the gears were stripping--and barely worked at all. We were trying to make ice cream for a social at church, so we were sweating bullets trying to get the thing to work. Finally, my husband put his heavy-duty electric drill over the metal thingy on top while my sons and I held the canister stationary, and we managed to make a freezer of decent ice cream. Just say no.

This was the WORST product Ive ever bought. I bought it for my husband and was so excited when it came that day. We bought all the stuff for it and got everything ready and turned on the electric motor and it quit within 5 minutes. I took it off and tried it again and it wouldnt work. I was very very upset.
