Lovely ice cream BUT the washing up required amounts to a lot. I tried to ring up to ask if there could be any adjustments to the recipe. The wait was intolerable and I lost the will to live. My ignorance perhaps, but I didn’t know that only egg yolks are required. We are getting weary of pavlovas and meringues. I’m not good at waste I. E. throwing them away!!!

This ice cream maker is excellent, I am so pleased with my purchase. It is so easy to use with very good instructions. Just put ice cream bowl in freezer overnight and it’s ready to go. Choose your flavour and it’s done in 30 mins. Made enough for four or five people. If you want more, just store in a container and make another batch.

I was sent a replacement, as the lid cracked, came off the first one and broke. My mixture was fairly thick - 10 mins into the 25 mins churning time, the ice-cream was sticking to the paddle. The machine began to judder, and the lid unlocked and slid around. This led to it breaking with the first machine. With the second, I stopped it immediately. The ice-cream was ready. The booklet mentions less time might be needed, but with the first use, I didn't know if the ice-cream was ready or not. A safety cut-out would be good, as the lid can shatter, but failing that, a warning when to switch off.

Great starter size and design. Easy to use and the right size for a small family.

very easy to use, nice little tool. The only problem is finding room in the freezer for the bowl!
