We purchased the Pure Indulgence Ice Cream Maker about two months ago and have used it three times to make fresh strawberry and peach ice cream. This machine has made absolutely delicious ice cream every time and has been easy, quick, and fun to use and clean up. Our grandson (and the grown-ups as well!) loves the anticipation of eating ice cream as well as watching the ice cream maker churn. Fortunately, we have the freezer space in which to store the interior freezer bowl so it stays adequately cold allowing us to make ice cream at a moment's notice (assuming the ingredients are on hand). We have not yet tried making sorbet or yogurt. There are so many easy recipes in the book which comes with the machine, and we have made other recipes as well with each coming out wonderfully. What I love, too, is experimenting with recipes, using a sugar-substitute or lower fat creams which makes homemade ice cream even more appealing. The moderately-loud sound that emits when the ice cream maker is working is not disturbing but, in fact, just adds to the anticipation of eating a delicious, homemade treat. The only thing I wish is that it made a larger amount because the ice cream just disappears, but this can be surmounted by making the ice cream in advance of when you need it, refreezing it in another freezer-proof container, and making a separate batch. This item makes a wonderful gift to a loved one or newly-married and especially to oneself!

Never thought making ice cream could be so easy. Bought this to help get protein in my diet after weight loss surgery. Yes, you heard (saw) me right. I can make low cal ice cream with added suppliments so easy, to keep me healthy. Clean up is a snap too. Great purchase and doesn't take up much counter space.

I bought this because of the price, but just love it because of the simplicity of using it! It is contemporary, easy to clean and make wonderful homemade ice cream in thirty minutes!!!

Really looking forward to next year's strawberry and blueberry seasons. Only made one batch of each so far and they were quite good. People who complain about the machine not making the ice cream hard enough do not seem to appreciate that it would be impossible to remove the ice cream and paddle/stirrer from the machine if the ice cream was fully hardened. To make a full two quarts of finished product (about 30% air content), I find it helpful to pre-chill the interior of the machine housing with frozen gel ice packs, process about 2/3 of the mix (enough mix to fill the frozen canister to about 1.5" below top horizontal bar of the stationary stirrer) for about 20 minutes or until the mix rises close to the top of the canister. Then, after removing 1 quart of the frozen product, add the balance of the mix and process for about another 15 or 20 minutes.
I like Haagen Daz but prefer to make my own because it permits better control over the sugar and butterfat content; and I get a lot of fresh eggs from a neighbor / friend.
The biggest downside is that the whole process of making a cooked custard based ice cream, including cleanups, takes the better part of three hours. Since the custard mix must be thoroughly chilled (refrigerated) for some 6 or so hours, the entire process of making a cooked custard based ice cream usually spans 2 days. It's helpful to have a 1.5 quart or bigger capacity double boiler for cooking the custard.

I love this ice cream maker. I bought Ben and Jerry's ice cream cookbook for recipies.The ice cream is made in 25 minutes!!! My whole family has had so much fun picking out recipes to try. It really is so quick and easy. The ice cream maker is very simple to use. The maker comes with a recipie book as well. It is used so much I've never put it in my cabinet. It has stayed on my countertop since the day it arrived!!!!
