Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This product comes with the essentials to make ice cream, a dasher and a freeze bowl. The bowl is a generous size, 2 quarts, but when attached to the mixer you will notice that it barely extends beyond the width of the arm on the mixer. This, to me, is a major negative because it makes it more difficult than needed to properly add ingredients. Also, with the fact that the dasher rotates (by nature of the mixer), rather than the bowl as in other ice cream machines such as the Cuisinart, it's extremely easy to make a huge mess by the time your done. You may think that this can be easily overcome by lifting the arm of the mixer to add the ingredients, but this is not feasible. If you do, even for a few moments, the dasher stops doing its job and the ice cream freezes, then your ice cream is done whether you like it or not. The dasher needs to be rotating constantly while slowly adding ingredients for best results. These issues, along with the hefty price tag, make this a ice cream maker for only those who absolutely do not have the room for a dedicated ice cream maker. The space saving aspect is the main reason I gave into the outrageous price tag, but after using it, I sacrificed the space for a much more enjoyable to use ice cream machine. I'd recommend to those considering purchasing this product also try out a dedicated ice cream machine to see the difference in ease of use.
