After walking all forums about ice cream makers and after testing for a year: do not look any further, this is the best !! For family use and given its ease to use and store, it is perfect. Because what we do not understand very well when you are not specialist ice cream makers is that with ALL other, you have to put the whole bowl to cool in the freezer, which takes a instead. This is the only one that is used with a round tray (a disc about 20cm in diameter and 5cm thick). Only this tray is to keep cold. It is he who allows, once the bottom of the ice cream maker to prepare ice. A purchase 100% profitable and that can treat children with products without chemicals into the bargain!
