This was a gift for my granddaughter and her kids. It is easy enough for the kids to use and they love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this ice cream maker - it's pretty easy to use and comes with a booklet full of recipes you can use to get started. I definitely recommend chilling your mixture for a while before churning them. The first time I used it, I followed the recipe for the vanilla ice cream, but because I didn't chill my mixture (even though I chilled the bowl), it came out as more of a milkshake texture. The next time I made it, I chilled the mix and it came out perfectly. I recently made reese's puff ice cream and it was delicious.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used it a few times to make popsicles. It is super easy , convenient, and makes delicious popsicles. It is also Very easy to clean as well which makes it even more enjoyable to people of all kind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice cream maker was very disappointing. It had to mix for so long to get thick and then after mixing so long everything just turned back to liquid again. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. I followed all instructions and it just failed and making the end result.

So far I have used this 3 times and it never made ice cream. Kept the base in the freezer for 2 days or more and even put the mix in the fridge, it never made ice cream. Makes more of a frosty. Finally I tried taking the mix out of the fridge and putting it in the freezer for a few hours. It was more ice cream than what I ended up with after it stayed in the ice cream maker for over an hour.

I love ice cream, but I don't buy it often. Having this device allows me to have great ice cream with a little planning. Keep the bowl in your freezer to have it ready when you’re in the mood for a delicious frozen treat. Chill the ingredients for five hours prior to mixing, or put them in the freezer for an additional hour for firmer ice cream. It tastes better than the stuff from the store. Plus I love the popsicles. The watermelon ones are great.

I was thrilled when my package arrived. I read thru the directions to see what I needed to get for ingredients and went to the store to prepare to make my own ice cream! I made the vanilla and added a little cinnamon. Very good and my hubby’s making chocolate today. It is time consuming, it takes about a half a day to freeze the bowl in the freezer. It’s worth the wait. I recommend this product, and fun.

We received ours yesterday with gunk all over it. As one reviewer stated, she thought hers was used when it arrived this way. But it's actually the liquid inside that's leaking. It's all over the machine and the plastic bag it arrived in. The liquid is thick, slimy, sticky, and has a weird, nauseous chemical smell. The places on the bottom motor have dried and are like white powder. We tried filling out a contact form for the warranty and that's useless since we literally can't tell what the model # is because some doofus stamped a triangle over it! It's clear we won't be taking our new ice cream maker camping next week. What a waste of money!

I purchased this in May as a birthday gift for my twin grandchildren. Today was our first time to use it. As per the instructions, the cream and milk were cold, right out of the refrigerator. The base had been in the freezer for 28 hours, it was frozen solid.After churning for 30 minutes the mixture was still liquid so I continued to let it run. I kept checking it every 15 minutes but there was no change to the mixture. The motor turned off on its own after running for 90 minutes. The mixture was still liquid. And, the lid was hot, it would not turn back on. I'm guessing the motor is burnt up. Come on Dash, you can do better than this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Dash - everyday ice cream maker in an aqua color. The ice cream maker is just the perfect size for a family of four. The ice cream maker works very well and takes minimal effort to make delicious ice cream. The popsicle mold is a bonus and we absolutely love it as well.
