My daughter asked for an ice cream maker for Christmas and after a lot of research we picked this one. It Made delicious ice cream. We used the included recipe for easy vanilla ice cream with cookies and cream. So creamy and amazing tasting. Very easy to do. One word of advice is to be sure to plan ahead for ingredients, ice, and salt amounts. In hind sight we could have halved the recipe but I don't think we will have trouble eating it. We will also invest in a go..
