Works GREAT!!!
By pc
I picked this unit up for under $30.00 at Penney’s last year, after our old wooden bucket unit gave up the ghost. We’d had that one for with regards to 15 yrs. The problem with the wooden buckets, was that the brass bands keeping it together, always rusted from the corrosion of salt water that came into contact with it. The plastic bucket on this unit does away with the rust issue. It has a big capacity; in regards to 5 or 6 qts, which is good for big families or a crowd. The problem with the new units like cuisinart, is that they only hold 1 or 2 pints! Why go through that much work, for such a little amount? Plus, those only work if you think in front to pre-freeze the interior canister for overnight. That does away with the possibleness of settling on spur of the moment a heap of summer day, to say “hey, let’s make a heap of ice cream! NOW!”
Yeah, yeah, you have to use a cheap box of rock salt and pick up a bag of ice. Using ice and salt, in truth aren’t a huge deal though. After making your custard or ice cream base, and place into the canister and putting the whole thing into the plastic bucket, you just add lots of shoal layers of ice and rock salt, till you get to the top. Then turn the thing on, and it’s done in when it comes to 25 minutes. Perfect! We’ve employed ours for 2 yrs, with perfectly no problems. Ok, well perhaps the box it was packaged in, looked tacky, and like it would be kind of cheap. But so what! I don’t care when it comes to the packaging, we just wanted a great, authenti ice cream maker that didn’t cost $100 or $200! This unit works flawlessly, and turns out amazing ice cream! Our family of 8 loves it!
*** Just a side note, to commend that you buy a lot of Mexican vanilla online, or find an person going to Mexico, and have them pick a outstanding deal of up for you. It makes an enormous divergence to vanilla ice cream! You won’t believe how unbelievable it’ll make it taste!

Yummy
By Speciallyforyounovelties
We have committed ourselves to make ice cream for a fund raiser. Now we’ve been making ice cream for a long time with our little old one. Knew that wouldn’t even begin to keep up with hundreds of ice cream lovers. Both my husband and I searched the reviews and made our purchases he got Nostalgia Electrics ICMP-400BLUE 4-Quart Plastic Bucket, and I got Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic. We tested both out and in equated them. They both produced splendid ice cream! The Nostalgia motor slowed then stopped when the ice cream started out to thicken, the Hamilton Beach held going but you could smell the motor heating up as it worked harder, we had to turn it off ourselves, so keep a close eye on the Hamilton as not to burn up the very strong motor that won’t give up so it doesn’t burn up.

Greatest Chrismas gift ever.
By Travis
I got this as a Christmas gift from my mom. It’s merely the best present ever. It’s so easy to set up, so easy to clean and so easy to make ice cream…put all the ingredients in, let it churn for in regards to 30 or so minutes, and it’s done. I like to put it in the freezer for an extra 2 hours, then put it in the microwave for with regards to 20 seconds, and to me, it tastes way better than anything at a store. I’ve made all kinds of awful flavors just using the “easy ice cream”. Mint chocolate chip, peanut butter swirl vanilla, plain vanilla, egg nog ice cream. I love my ice cream to death and this thing lets me experiment in ways I never could have imagined…awesome…simply awesome. It makes a lot too, which was outstanding equated to a great deal of of the others that looked to fabricate when it comes to 1/4 as much as this one does.
5 Stars all the way…HIGHLY recommended.
