The machine was a gift. Although slightly more expensive than similar devices, but so far we have and the recipient regret a penny! The machine really creates a good quart of ice cream and decent uniform runterzukühlen and achieved a great chremige percolation. Volume for the kitchen ok, easy to use. So far about 10 cargoes of ice (Chreme and sorbet) were prepared. - Any successful. Recommendation for buyers: Grab a good recipe book for ice. The included booklet gives her much, and if they want to have an egg in the ice, it's worthless. But there are good recipes without eggs in bookstores or on the Internet.
