"Rather disappointed" star star star star_border star_border This review is for an older version of this product This makes lovely ice cream but every single time I have churned, when I remove the bowl the two parts of the paddle assembly come apart, leaving the main paddle still in the ice cream. This makes it very difficult to remove the finished ice cream from the bowl. If I remove the paddle manually it is messy, takes time during which the ice cream is continuing to freeze around the sides and bottom of the bowl.Then I have to scrape the paddle, which has by that time started to melt.
"Disappointing" star star star star_border star_border I find the paddle on this machine difficult to scrape clean when emptying the bowl. It seems unnessarily complicated and therefore wasteful of the ice cream mix. It does make good ice cream. support_agent A note from the team Thank you for your review. We're pleased this machine makes delicious ice cream! however we'll be sure to pass your feedback along to our Buyers.
"Good machine" star star star star star This review is for an older version of this product Was impressed with how quickly this made solid ice cream. I froze the bowl for 20 hours and chilled the mixture overnight in the fridge. I was able to make ice cream in 20 minutes on what was the hottest day of the year! One thing that would really make this an excellent machine would be the option to buy spare bowls. That would be useful if need to make large quantities.
"Easy to use" star star star star star This is the first time I have used an Ice Cream Maker and I was quite impressed at how easy it was to use. I've made the Lemon Sorbet from the recipe book provided and tried a traditional Indian Kulfi Ice Cream using Almonds, Pistachios, Saffron, and Cardamom, which turned out really well. I would definitely recommend this machine as it is compact, easy to clean and store.
"Amazing" star star star star star_border This ice cream maker is excellent. In the couple of weeks since it arrived I've made oreo ice cream, chocolate fudge brownie ice cream, strawberry sorbet and last night the most amazing raspberry ice cream that I've hidden from the rest of the family. I'm now giving serious thought to saving up for a machine with a compressor so that I can use all my freezer space for ice cream rather than the bowl! I do agree that the chute can be fiddly, but if I spill any of the mix I tend to carefully wipe with a dry paper towel then just give it a good wash afterwards.
