Yes it takes a bit of prep, maybe 15 mins to make an easy custard. It’s not hard to plan ahead! Once you’ve done it once it is easy. A few hours later or the next day you add your final ingredients and then finish in the machine which takes 15-20 mins max. Yes it takes a few mins to get the ice cream off the paddle, yes it takes a few mins to scrape the ice cream out and maybe harden up in the freezer. But it’s all worth it, believe me, for amazing homemade ice cream without any additives. I’ve made blackcurrant, salted caramel and even frozen yoghurt. The family love it! If this all sounds like too much hard work then go and buy it from the supermarket and sit on your iPhone watching Netflix. Alternatively get a life and do something fun - make ice cream for your family!!

Easy to use as rated by other users. Just be careful if using from a recipe book to not try to make too much at once. Great result and everyone liked

First ice cream maker I have purchasedEasy to use and lovely ice cream

5.0 out of 5 stars My first sorbet came out a TREAT!

Lovely machine. My first sorbet of pineapple, mint, ginger and basil came out a real treat and was very quick (30 minutes). Do remember though, that you need to freeze the cooling element before use, which takes time/ planning and that this element is not small, so leave the right amount of space in your freezer for the element, and later, your delicious ice cream/ sorbet. The machine itself looks great and in my view is also easy to clean/ stylish. I would recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A substantial piece of kit.

I've just received my ice-cream maker and just made a couple of batches of ice-cream, so far I'm really pleased with this product. I had never made ice cream before, and found the instructions clear an easy. The resulting ice-cream is delicious and the texture very creamy.The only downside of this machine is that a smal portion of the preparation will freeze on the sides of the bowl, but I find it an acceptable loss.Contrary to any review I have seen about any freeze-ahead machine, I have easily managed to make 2 batches in one day, and I'm pretty sure I could make a third if I wanted to. I've just froze the bowl 24h for the 1st batch, then cleaned it quickly with water just warm enough to melt the remaining ice-cream, dried it with a towel and put it back in the freezer for another 5h before making the second batch. Worked like a charm!

It is so noisy and so the noise can be heard through the kitchen, through the dining room and into the lounge. It is the noisiest bit of kit I have.So messy that, the paddle does not scrape the edges of the internal bucket so you have scraped this off with a spatula and mixed it in thereby making it too soft to serve immediatelyIt has no consistency of whippy ice cream at all, just cold cream. You have to freeze the bowl for hours first so you may as well just get a cheaper alternative. Don't waste your money, Totally unimpressed.

fresh ice cream!

Frozen yogurt can be made in 20mins. Setting it up was a bit tricky but once done, its great.
