Got this for my 9 year old daughter. She and her 6 cousins loved experimenting with frozen fruits and chocolate chips to create their own frozen desserts over Christmas break, and I loved that they were healthy! They began with the recipe book, and were soon making up their own "secret recipes".

this was advertized as a frozen yogurt maker which it is not. It is mostly for half frozen bananas. The blades are small and lightweight; not effective. The fruit has to be frozen just right or it is too hard to be ground and machine freezes or if it's too soft the result is a melted mess. Returned it promptly.

We love this! We make what we call frozen smoothies with it by putting the bananas through and then other types of fruit like strawberries to make a wonderful dessert. I have added candied nuts, dried fruits and chocolate chips to it as an added bonus. We also made ice cream sandwiches using the pureed fruit by using lace cookies putting the puree in-between them and put them in the freezer for a couple hours. I can't say the pureed fruit tastes like ice cream but I can say it is wonderful and clean-up is a breeze; much easier than using my blender. I haven't had any issues with the machine to this point. The machine came with a booklet with some starter recipes in it and I also purchased a separate booklet.

It takes a little work, because you have to pre-defrost the fruit, and then put more through than you would think according to the recipes because at least 1/2 of the fruit is inside before it starts coming out. One you realize it is easy to open it up and get the rest of the fruit out, then you see that you don't have to make as much, but it gets a little messy.

We still can't get over that you just use fruit. Amazing soft serve consistency! Everyone needs one! My family loves it. Fun and Easy to Use! I gave this as a gift to my brother, who does not eat sugar and eats lots of bananas. He wanted to try it right away. Fortunately, I had frozen a lot of ripe bananas, "in case". We cleaned it off, put it together, and started processing frozen bananas and strawberries, alternating as directed. It took just a few minutes to process three to four cups, which five of us tried and enjoyed. It is creamy, like ice cream. Some of us drizzled hot chocolate sauce over it, which was delicious. For those who cannot eat ice cream, are diabetic, just like banana, or want healthy alternatives, this is great! It was easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to assemble.

It came quickly and it's fantastic. We don't eat bananas but using other frozen fruit was quick and easy. You need to make a few servings for it to come out and then disassemble to get the rest but it's easy to do and super easy to clean and put back together.

I recently changed my diet to healthy living going from burger king, five guys burgers, french fries, and Reese cups to green smoothies, raw vegetables, and anything that doesn't have ingredients I can't pronounce. And I MISS sweets. It's the bane of my existence. But the Yonanas takes whatever fruit you want and makes an extremely tasty treat that resembles ice cream so much that it feels like eating guilt free ice cream. For anyone who wants to eat healthy but can't quite get the sweet tooth from popping horrible things into your head, this is a MUST HAVE!!

I was hesitant when I purchased the Yonanas since machines that you see work so well on TV often don't seem to work as well once you get them home!Well I can say that as far as the Yonanas is concerned it is exactly as it is portrayed on TV!It makes amazingly easy frozen desserts, using only fruit!My teenagers have been using it daily and it's basically paid for itself as they have not been buying ice cream!! machine not only is easy to use...but easy to clean up as well!Highly recommend it!!!

As a lifelong ice cream lover, this product is amazing! I use fruit, even frozen vegetables to have healthy ice cream several times a day, (cubed frozen beets go great with frozen blueberries - wouldn't even know they were there! Frozen carrots go about the same with frozen tangerines). If you are trying to make healthy changes in your life and you're thinking about getting this, get it. It's wonderful.

I have sung the Yonanas ice cream maker's praises from the roof tops. I took samples to work to share with the ladies. All of them want one now too so they will be purchasing a Yonanas for themselves. I love the creaminess and on WW Yonanas ice cream is free! No points. How can you get better than that, awesome tasting and a free, filling food. I am in HEAVEN! I would recommend this product to everyone.
