"ok item" 2010-07-30

When using the manual lever it seems to slip in the gears a bit. Also do not follow the directions when it comes to putting in the water into the ice mixture, it took more than two hours to get ice cream when following those direction. Other than that it works great.
  
"Better than expected!!" 2010-07-20
By nicbrent
After reading some of the feedback on here, I was hesitant to spend the money for the Classic. It was a birthday present for my husband. Right after he got it he made the chocolate ice cream...it was delicious!! It worked perfectly. But I was still worried that during the next few uses something might go wrong. In fact, during our 2nd use we thought the motor had burnt up. It quit working. We tried shutting it off and turning it on again. It wouldn't go. But the motor is actually smarter than we are. In the handbook it says that some mixtures need to harden in the freezer. Remember that and you will be good!! The mixture was done and we just didn't know it. After sometime in the freezer, the strawberry ice cream was perfect!! It has worked great ever since!! I would call this ice cream maker "magical"!! It makes fabulous ice cream and our kids (all 8 of them) love that dad can make enough ice cream for all of us!! It is the best birthday present he could have gotten!! Read the instructions thoroughly and you will save yourself a lot of time!

"FAILED AFTER SECOND USE" 2010-07-17
By K. Morris (Rutledge, GA)
Looks great out of the box... worked fine the first two times, but failed to turn the canister on the third. LESS THAN 60 DAYS OLD. I have contacted seller, we will see how that turns out. But save yourself the extra money. Buy the cheaper models.., they are made just as poorly as this one...

"Review of Ice Cream Freezer" 2010-07-17
By B Spiegel-Dale Tex
All in all it is a good product. Little concerned about the banding around the wood bucket and center plate at bottom. Feel that the salt will soon eat them up even washing good after use unless the metals are something that deters rush from salt. The set screw on the manual churn handle is a little below what I think it should be. I like the switch on top of the electric motor churner rather than having to pull the plug when ready to stop freezer when needed. Like the way the manual and electric churner attach to the top of the bucket. Makes good icecream and have used it about 4 times now. Wish I knew what kind of wood the bucket is made of. Have seen better constructed buckets.

"Cheap plastic, easily broken" 2010-06-15
By Roger Klein
I used this icecream maker 5 times before the cheap plastic gears in the electric mixer wore out. The gears in the hand crank are not fit together tightly enough so they tend to skip and grind when I turn the crank. If you want an ice cream maker that breaks after a half dozen uses, then this may work for you.
