"Just Like My Old One (Ithink)" 2010-08-09
By Pat
I haven't tried my ice cream freezer yet because we have both been on diets and can't lose weight if I make ice cream. I have been known to make 7 batches of ice cream in two weeks,(my husband is an ice cream conisour). If we are going to have company, I ask him if I should make ice cream. His reply is, "why, then I will have to share it with them." I love making it and he loves to eat it. The only kind of ice cream there really is, is home made vanilla. I can't wait to try my new ice cream freezer. I have worn 2 of them out. The last one burned when our house burned and we lost everything. I have looked high and low to find one like my other ones (without having to buy the store) Thanks. Pat

"I could taste the aluminum (?)" 2010-01-20
By saavy shopper
Are the materials cheaply produced? When we took it out of the box, we were blown over by the chemical smell. After soaking the wooden tub, it went away, but my sinuses were burning by then. Then we made the ice cream and that part was fun. But the motor stopped before the ice cream was frozen. Also, a disappointing thing happened - I could taste an aluminum aftertaste in the ice cream from the aluminum bowl. The ice cream literally tasted like aluminum foil. We have to take this back for a refund. We are looking for one with a steel bowl now. Overall, a disappointing experience. I gave it one star because that was the only way to proceed making the review.
  
"Crappy motor" 2009-09-04
By Ice Cream
Everything is good except the motor. Thr first batch of ice cream did not freeze before the motor cut off. Second batch of ice cream was even worse. The motor stopped working before the batch started to thicken. Aroma needs to work on the motor!!! My average cost per gallon of ice cream was in excess of $50 per gallon. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
  
"dissatisfied with the product" 2009-08-17
By Sydney F. Ross
I purchased the Aroma AIC-206EM 6 on July 16, it arrived on July21,I put it in use on July 25, and it gave me a big dissapointment. The crank would not churn the ice cream , and it eventually broke, I contacted the manufacturer requesting return authorization, the promised to send me a new crank which I received on August11, I will be using it on August 22, wish me luck.You see when I looked up the product it said a manual ice cream maker, but when it arrived I was supprised to see that it was mainly electric, which was shocking because I already have aa electric maker. After August 22 I will update you with another review.

"icecream maker" 2009-06-05
By Rosalind (Sioux Falls, SD USA)
We love our icecream maker! It is great to be able to choose from hand crank or automatic. When using the automated churner the motor stops automatically when the icecream is done churning so you have to keep and eye on the icecream maker. The kids love to hand crank it but get tired before the icecream is done. We use the vanilla ice cream recipe to make all our icecream we just add flavored milk from a local dairy to flavor it. We have made rootbeer, strawberry, and cotton candy icecream so far and look forward to making banana, coffee, and chocolate soon.
