We haven’t had much luck with this product…
By M. Amundson
I was genuinely searching for other client reviews in hopes of finding some helpful hints for this contraption. We purchased this product at Target with regards to a year ago because we had relatives who had such good luck with their old fashioned crank-style ice cream churns. We liked the classic design and the electric mixing option. But we’ve had rather a bit of difficultness with this. The electric mixer seems to mix the cream too fast–often formulating an almost “foamy” result. The crank method gives rise to better results, but the crank mixing mechanism makes a lot of noise and doesn’t work smoothly…and it takes a looong time for the ice cream to freeze (over 45 minutes for just a little batch–our salt/ice mixture tested 25 degrees). I was hoping I would find a lot of positive reviews that would be helpful…but we purchased a Cuisinart 2 qt. electric Ice Cream Maker tonight instead.
Anyone with positive experiences, please review as we’d be happy to dig this thing out and use it for company if we could recognise there was a way to get good ice cream in the end! Otherwise, I’m scared that this product had a lot of potential, but is rather impractical–especially taking into account the fact that more user-friendly electric ice cream machines may be purchased at a similar price.

Hand Crank ONLY
By R. Woodruff
The electric motor broke down after 5 uses. Buy this only if you want a hand-crank!

Motor is too weak
By A. Barksdale
What a big disappointment. I purchased one of these at a local store last week and returned it. It looks good. The aluminum container is comparatively heavy gauge. The motor is plainly not up to the task and the manual crank is poor. The motor stopped but the ice cream was still liquid.
