[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine itself is great! It does what it says it will, and made some lovely slushies for us tonight. After we got all the kinks worked out, the machine ran smoothly and quietly, and took about 20 minutes from pouring the ingredients in to finished product. The texture of our boozy slushies are great! Smooth, no big ice chunks, well mixed, and the drinks retain their texture for quite a long time. Afterward, cleaning and extruding seemed to go well, and disassembly for part cleaning was straightforward enough. The instruction manual is so poorly written you can't rely on it for much of anything, and cost my review 2 stars. On a surface level, the spelling and grammar look like they were written by a bot, or a non-native speaker, and not proofread. It made parts of the manual more difficult to understand, vagueness aside. I felt like the half size recipe quantities were on the scant side for volume to run the machine. We had a terrible grinding noise until we realized the 3 cup measure we put in based on recommendations was not enough for the machine to properly function. I seriously thought we were going to shake our counters apart. After we eyeball added more liquid, things smoothed out. The manual often suggests "choose a colder setting" but doesn't indicate what that *means* in terms of settings on the machine. There is no context given for how the texture settings and level settings actually relate to the temperature. All in all, we'll be happy to explore this machine more, and make it work for us. Good luck with that instruction manual!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I used was a boxed vanilla custard eggnog sold in stores. I literally dumped it in it and turned it on. It got ready in about 30 to 40 minutes, it was very easy to control what I wanted and how I wanted, it seems very well made, easy to put apart and clean and it can hold ice-cream for a whole party! I kept it on during lunch and we could not even hear it. Once we were done eating the ice-cream was ready to serve for desert. I have been looking for a good ice cream machine that I didn't have to keep freezing anything before when I wanted ice cream and I could not find one. This one is just perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet and fairly quick working machine! Unit is large, but easy to use and clean. I only used enough bottled sangria to test it out. Definitely left some product in the chambers so pour more than what you think you may need (up to 3C). Easy to operate, and clean. Great for a party!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been using this machine for over a month now and I would say it takes some time to adjust to the right recipes and consistency. The ice cream recipe in the book has too much salt and it needs to be adjusted. We have been loving the soft serve option and so far it's our favorite setting after the slushie. Slushies are pretty much the easiest of all. You can use any soda or juice to make a slushie. Comes our perfect every time. Cleaning the machine is probably the hardest task. It takes some time to get rid of the grease. You need to run a few cycles to get it cleaned. It's important that you dry everyone well before putting it together. The machine works perfectly everytime. It take 15 to 30 minutes to get the recipe done but it's worth the wait.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice cream machine is really easy to use. You put whatever liquid you want in. I made vanilla ice cream and it took about 35–40 minutes, and it beeps when it’s done, which is a nice feature. You can adjust the texture if you want it more/less solid. I like that you don’t have to freeze anything ahead of time or freeze after. You can eat it right out of the machine. It’s also really easy to clean! I would definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice cream and frozen drink maker is really easy to set up and use. It makes soft, smooth ice cream and blended drinks without taking too long. The machine isn’t too loud, and cleanup is pretty simple. It’s great for quick treats at home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is awesome. It was really to put together and follow instructions for use. My first try I made vanilla frozen yogurt and I was surprised how easy it was to do and how good it tasted! The noise was not loud at all and it did not take long. Can’t wait to try it for other things!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really beautiful machine. I would even leave it out on the counter at all times. Easy to use and surprisingly easy to clean. Very clear instructions for assembly, disassembly and cleaning. Many recipes included and tips on how to modify them to create other flavors. We started with milkshakes and while our first try was a little thick for our preference it's easy to adjust consistency to meet your needs. This thing does everything from slushies to ice cream, milkshakes to sorbet and even spiked slushies! Time varies for your creations to finish based on what is in it to the quantity you are making but our milkshakes only took a little over 30 minutes. Easy peasy and very happy to have this in our home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's make some fresh ice cream or even any flavor of slushy you want! This frost ice cream and drink maker is awesome! It is so easy to set up and use. Just put in the ingredients, push start and watch it work! It is very durable and so easy to clean. I love that my kids can help and we can have ice cream everyday!

This is about the best ice cream and drink maker of all time.
