I bought this cream maker following the positive feedback read on the Net. And I am not disappointed. Its separate cold accumulator System Preparation bowl is infinitely practical and appears no less efficient than other systems. Except that its size can accommodate very easily in any freezer or the freezer. Better still, after having bought a second, we can do two Ice preparations later. The engine is somewhat noisy and separates the cover for easy cleaning. In short, that's good!
