This is a wonderful product. The item was never intended to replace the electric ice cream makers. It was made for people who go to parks, beaches, camp outings, anywhere there isn't electricity. It does take some time to make the ice-cream and it is small (I bought 2 to make up for this so I can also make two flavors) but it is wonderful to be able to go camping and have ice cream when it's blistering hot outside. Kids love it. They sit down and roll the ball back and forth to each other to make the ice cream. So if you have any bad feelings about the negative reviews, just remember that this product was not intended to be used in your kitchen. I love it and it's wonderful. I make ice cream cakes for birthdays when we go camping and it makes great slushie mixed drinks for the adults. If you want something for the kitchen, this isn't the ice cream maker you want. But if you enjoy having ice cream at places you normally couldn't, this is a great product.

I don't understand how this thing has so many good reviews! Don't expect to throw or kick this around. It is hard plastic filled with heavy ballast. I'm not sure why they made the external portion with all the grooves because it's difficult to even roll. A friend bought this for my kids. They were sorely disappointed in this thing and my friend was embarrased. Maybe my kids are too little? both under 10. I was worried about them dropping the ball and it shattering-or worse, landing on a toe.It made ok soft icecream after 2 adult men tossed it short distances. it was a pain to fill and a pain to clean.

I bought this for a niece, a grandson, and a nephew. They all loved it so much and had a great time with it. It makes yummy ice cream. It does take a while, but keeps the child exercising. I plan to buy another for my other grandson. Provides great fun, interaction with others, exercise and great ice cream.

Yes, it does really work, but it took about 40 minutes to make ice cream(quart). The ice cream was delicious. Then we tried frozen yogurt and that took about an hour to freeze. We had to reseal the lid b/c it wasn't on just right and it was very difficult to get the frozen yogurt off the metal sides. You do better to buy frozen yogurt. I think it's ideal for camping when your options are limited on things to do, though we passed it while watching tv.

Kids love. Fun to make up your own flavors. Kosher salt works just fine.
