I have used this ice cream machine many times now and produces good ice cream and takes about 1 hour to freeze, and is easy to clean and store in a cupboard, not taking up too much storage space. It is a bit heavy to carry to a work surface, but not carrying it to far. The ice cream is of a nice consistency and taste nice. The machine is sleek with brushed stainless steel.

The machine is great in the majority of respects. Easy to use and set up. Very few parts, which is great. Seems very robust. Highly recommended. However, there are small issues too. The key thing is that the propeller which has quite an awkward shape. This means that when ice cream freezes, it is difficult to scrape it off the propeller. Also, when you put the motor on, it sometimes doesn't fit and you need to rotate the propeller to the right position to engage with the motor. Other than that, this machine is perfect. Quite big, but makes the ice cream quickly, which is great. Maybe the ice-cream is a bit soft at first, but you can put in the freezer straight away to solidify a bit more. In two words - good machine!

What a fantastic machine, very easy to use and clean. I've had cheaper ice cream makers in the past, but this is worth the extra money. Makes great ice cream and you know exactly what is in the ice cream, no chemicals, preservatives etc. Fantastic

Arrived Monday 17th,used Thursday 20th. April. Nice looking ice-cream maker and well made. Very sturdy paddle, not so easy to scrape off, but in the grand scheme of things,IT WORKS! My last one the paddle was flimsy and try as I may,couldn't get maker to work. . So easy to use, at last home made ice-cream.

Brilliant machine so easy to use that my 11yr son can make his own icecream !! Which he thinks is Awesome experimenting with different flavours. No mess easy to clean Best Gift Ever........ says my Husband whom LOVES Icecream & Sorbets

Says 1.2 lire but it is not, only 900 mls max and when making ice cream you need to leave about 200 mls for expansion. Instructions not the best either and the writing is tiny. Once used the ice cream is good, it’s just a struggle to get to that point.

So far so good.Made several batches of various ice creams, and all were lovely.Very easy to use, and after having one of those freeze-bowl types for years (and barely using it as it was such a faff) I no longer need to remortgage feed my Haagen dazs addiction.Making much better at home!Expensive, but worth it.
