Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this to take to the beach with us as something fun for the kids to do. It was exactly that - fun! The bowl is not much larger than a dinner plate and is just under 2-inches thick. It was barely noticeable in our freezer. It feels well constructed and solid, but is not heavy. The included utensils are also well constructed and definitely up to the task of making many batches of ice cream. I really appreciate the thoughtful design of the utensils. The handles slide inside of one another and hold together firmly. They take up very little space in a drawer when attached to one another, and will always be able to be located together. The hot pink/purple color does make them easy to find as well. The non-skid bottom could use a bit of tweaking as it did slide around a bit. We resolved the matter by placing a silicone hot pad under it. Advice from someone who has used this multiple times now: Washing after use when you intend to reuse it soon can be tricky. The washing process will leave a thin layer of ice on the bowl. Be sure to scrape that ice off before you poor your ice cream base for the next use.
