After checking all Amazon reviews on this product and other similar to it, I decided to purchase this rather cheap ice cream maker. I am happy, it is what I expected so far. I've prepared three batches of ice cream already, all recipes from the recipe book included with the machine. Pros: you'll get really good, conservatives free ice cream, with great flavor, and customized according to your own taste. Easy to use. Not really loud machine, fast and clean. Great recipes, simple and very tasty.
Cons: of the 3 batches, the only time I got ready-to-eat ice cream was when I prepared half of the chocolate recipe. Using only half of the preparation, you'll get ice cream after 30minutes (and having the bowl in the freezer for 24hs in advance). The other 2 times I got soupy ice cream that after a couple of hours in the freezer in a glass sealed container was amazingly good. You have to plan in advance when are you going to prepare ice cream because if the bowl is not really freezed, it won't work. Everything has to be very cool, and if you are going to add anything that it is not, you'll know that you'll end up with a soupy result.
I still have to try sorbets and frozen margaritas but I am guessing I will see better results since they don't include cream, just water. Frozen yogurt might be tricky, but I will give it a try since all the cream recipes are great but they have way too much calories.
