The Ice Cream maker is great but the Made in China really shows through. The lock down handle for the motor BROKE OFF after two uses!

I spent a few weeks looking through all the ice cream makers I might want, being sure to choose the right one. I read all the reviews and although many angered buyers reported the failures of their purchase I still chose the White Mountain freezer. Its the best ice cream maker on the market, and I didn't believe their misfortunes would happen upon me. So I anxiously awaited the arrival of my ice cream freezer......10 BUSINESS DAYS LATER........my ice cream maker still hasn't come. Now I know this is not totally White Mountains fault, the only poor decision they made was choosing FedEx to ship their products. I ended up having to drive 30 minutes out of my way to retrieve my ice cream maker. I was not pleased. In the next week I made three different batches of ice cream and during the fourth batch the motor puttered out. I would have cried but I couldn't be weak in front of all my friends. The next day I called the 1-800 number for White Mountain and talked to an Indian employee. He could speak English pretty well but when transposing very important information, White Mountain's e-mail address, there was a misunderstanding. So White Mountain did not receive my email confirming my purchase and waited another week until calling back. I called back, got the real email address and sent the email. I have been waited another week and still no ice cream maker. I do like the ice cream that was produced and that is the only reason I gave it three stars but this is ridiculous.........

Tried to use it Sunday for a big July 4th party. Had wonderful batch of fresh peach ice cream that everyone was excited to try. It was purchased June 2009 for last July 4th party and worked wonderfully. Has been stored indoors in original packaging so it hasn't been misused. Plugged it in this year and it screamed. All attempts to correct the issue didn't work. Appears to be power shaft coming out of the motor. After researching return policy, purchasing of parts and reading other reviews, I realized that there's nothing that can be done. So much for attempting to purchase a quality product rather than a cheap plastic freezer. Don't purchase unless you're willing to have only a few batches of very expensive ice cream.

Powerful but noisy motor. Needs fiddling with to get clamp to hold motor in place but once everything is all set it does the job in about 20-25 min. 6 qt. capacity means you use about 3 qts. of liquid and end up with about 4 qts. of frozen product. Best of its type; I'd buy again.

I MAKE A GOOD BIT OF HOMEMADE ICE CREAM, AND USE ONLY THE WHITE MOUNTAIN. SOME DON'T LAST TOO LONG. THEY BEGIN TO LEAK GREASE, WHICH CAN SEEP INTO THE BARREL. THE MOTORS BEGIN TO GRIND, AND RESULT IN A JERKING MOTION OF THE MACHINE. APPROXIMATELY 6 OF THESE MACHINES HAVE WORN ME OUT. OVER-PRICED FOR THE TIME USED.
