[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Putting together Frost was pretty easy. The instructions are fairly well written and included diagrams to aid in assembly. There were a few moments that I needed to re-read some things, but it all eventually came together fine. I let Frost sit on the counter for the allotted 2 hour minimum per the booklet and then made my first item. It was a dairy-free chocolate and fudge ice cream. Later in the week, I did a coke slushie, a banana shake, and finally, a vanilla ice cream. Per instructions, I pre-blended my ingredients and added them into the top opening. I wish the top opening was a little bigger, but I liked that the opening was bowl shaped to catch and direct spillage. The dials were easy to adjust after reading the manual and looking at a YouTube video just for inspiration. I recommend adjusting the thickness level of your item to one tick higher than suggested if you want your creation to have a thicker consistency. Using the max fill line, I was able to make up to 5 servings, which was plenty for my family of 4 people. If you have a larger family, this will not provide enough. Depending on what you make will depend on how smoothly it dispenses. As the item gets low in the container, it extrudes out in a jerky manner because the rotating paddle is trying to push the remaining dessert out. Cleaning is easy. I put in soapy water into the top and set it to Clean mode. Next, the dirty water is extruded, and I then add clean water and repeat the Clean mode cycle. Once that water is extruded, the machine is disassembled, and all components are hand washed. It's pretty quick and re-assembly is very easy. The Frost comes with a fabric bag containing several items to help clean it, some extra gaskets and other things. There's also a recipe booklet with several delicious options. The machine is fairly weighty but very sturdy. I am not a fan of how flimsy the handle is, but I understand the design. I like that the spill tray has a magnet to keep it snug again, the base of the machine . I don't really care for the cone holder on the side and I am thankful that this option can be folded into the machine when not in use. I do like Frost, and the items created were very tasty. I think this would be fantastic for families that absolutely love desserts that this can create. It has wonderful potential to allow the creation of healthier dessert options too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best machine ever!! My husband and son have been making things almost every night since we got it. They love their version of dole whip. They are still tinkering with the texture of the ice cream because one wants it softer than the other.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this product in exchange for my honest review. This Greenpan Frost ice cream maker was a fun little adventure. I did not expect it to work as well as it did. I made vanilla soft serve ice cream. I loved that I could make it out of whole ingredients. Most importantly for me, I loved that I could start the entire process just a little while before we wanted to enjoy the ice cream. You do not have to pre-freeze or pre-plan anything! My family and were watching a show after dinner. We paused between episodes for about 10 minutes to put the ingredients together, and this dessert treat was ready while we were in the middle of the next episode. I used the recipe from the booklet that came with the Frost machine. My recipe called for only milk, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, salt and sugar. I whisked them together lightly, poured them into Frost, and 25 minutes later, we got this gorgeous little soft serve ice cream! It was pretty amazing. The negatives are: the recipe is wrong. It called for 1 tsp of salt and that was WAY too much. I don’t know if it is a typo or what. It should be between 1/4 and 1/2 tsp salt! Despite this, it was still good and the perfect consistency and perfect vanilla flavor! My family still ate it. I will try again tonight and change the salt. The other issue is that the slots on the top into which you pour the mixture and later the cleaning water, is too small and hard to pour exactly into. It is easy to miss the slots and spill some.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to use this for the first time due to worries about disassembly and cleaning. That turned out to be relatively easy. Then, I wanted to try to make healthier soft serve, but it didn’t really come with recipes for that. So, I winged it and blended cottage cheese, a banana, vanilla and maple syrup in my blender and poured it in! It was super easy to use, and my protein ice cream was creamy and delicious and ready in about 30 minutes. Can’t wait to try all kinds of frozen delights now!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cool ice cream machine. I love that it doesn’t take too much time to prep and you don’t have to freeze anything overnight, just mix the ingredients and pour them in and the machine does the rest. So many options on what you can make! It’s super quiet and doesn’t take long at all. The ice cream came out a perfect consistency. Cleaning and putting back together is super easy. The only negative thing I have to say is it is large and takes up a bit of counter/storage space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is great, The directions were easy for me to figure out and set the machine up. I blended up watermelon and poured it into the machine and it made the most perfect Icee. So easy and so delicious 😋. The machine purred quietly which is great because I hear enough noise from my dogs as is, LOL!

Was excited to try this machine but so far no recipe has yielded icecream that can stand up in a cone. It is too soft. Made it using soft serve and level 6 and used frosts recipe as well as soft serve mix. The closest we got was the soft-serve mix and water but if course that was more icy texture than ice cream. The frost recipe was a pile of mush. We extracted it and it hardened in the freezer Unit is easy to use and not bad to clean but not working in a way my grandchildren can have cones

So, I started saying years and years ago with ALL the technology out there why don't we have any good home use soft serve machines? It can't be that hard. I started with a basic number Nia creami. I rarely used because of prep and the waiting. Got a ninja Slushi machine. Use it nearly daily. I like creamier drinks my partner doesn't. So someone was always sacrificing their preferences. Then got the swirl because by God! I want soft serve at home. Same problem slowly disapated to rarely using due to all the prep and waiting. Got this! The Frost. It does it ALL!!! Mostly anyway. With the exception of add on is the actual soft serve (add later, I don't even want add ins personally) or hard ice cream. This does it all. Quicker I think too. I couldn't be happier with it. Im happy because now I have enough machines to do whatever now. But I wish I could do over and I'd just have 2 of these machines. Maybe I still will 😜

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using my green pan frost ice cream and frozen drink maker ,for few a weeks ,and me and my family have enjoyed many good treats from it.I love the soft ice cream , Slushies and alcohol Slushies.The machine it quite heavy so be careful taking it out it's box,It's very easy to put together and the recipes are very simple, not complicated, My cons of the icecream maker ,is I wish the opening to pour the icecream and drink mix in ,were bigger it's easy spill trying to pour mixes in the holes. The drip tray is small I found it better to put a bowl underneath, especially when cleaning the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE the GreenPan Ice Cream and Frozen drink maker! I started off by making a simple slushy with just some juice, it came out perfectly! It made me feel like I had gone out and picked up an actual drink from a popular drive thru fast food joint! It is extremely versatile being able to make boozy beverages, soft ice cream and slushies. It has its own cleaning functionality that I use between uses for the actual freezing mechanism and then I will hand wash the remaining pieces. Once you put it together once, it is extremely easy to take apart and reassemble. I didn’t find the noise that it makes while mixing to be obnoxious and you wouldn’t be able to hear it with a TV or radio in the background. I can’t wait to host some parties and use this to serve my friends and family!
