Very easy to use and makes delicious ice cream/frozen yoghurt
5/5
So simple to use. You mix your ingredients, ideally leave them in the fridge for a few hours prior to putting in the ice cream maker, then pour it in the removable container (which holds just over 1 litre), switch on, set your timer (we've used around 50 mins) and hit start. The ice cream maker will whirr away for the allocated amount of time and when finished produces soft scoop ice cream. You can either serve there and then or scoop into a container, pop on the lid and put in the freezer overnight.
The ice cream was delicious and far better than standard shop bought stuff and you get to choose the ingredients. The texture was excellent straight out of the machine but even finer when fully frozen. We have also tried frozen yoghurt which is made the same way but obviously with different ingredients. Again, this tasted fantastic. The ice cream maker comes with a short recipe book to get you started. The stated volume of mixture you can add is 1.5 litre but I'd advise 1 litre to avoid spillage when churning. This was an ample amount however.
The machine is a bit noisy but there is no way of avoiding that. If you are able to shut the door on it and do something else for about an hour then it really isn't a problem at all. Not only is the ice cream maker easy to use, it is also very easy to clean too which means there isn't any barrier to using it and so as a result we are much more likely to use it regularly.
All in all I would thoroughly recommended this ice cream maker and it makes delicious desserts.
