Style Collection Ice Cream and Dessert Maker, Light Pistachio ICE31U

Kids loved this and are able to independently make their own ice cream / frozen yogurt. Frozen yogurt can be made in 20mins. Setting it up was a bit tricky but once done, its great.

What a great gadget, the ice cream is beautiful. Yes it takes a bit of prep, maybe 15 mins to make an easy custard. It’s not hard to plan ahead! Once you’ve done it once it is easy. A few hours later or the next day you add your final ingredients and then finish in the machine which takes 15-20 mins max. Yes it takes a few mins to get the ice cream off the paddle, yes it takes a few mins to scrape the ice cream out and maybe harden up in the freezer. But it’s all worth it, believe me, for amazing homemade ice cream without any additives. I’ve made blackcurrant, salted caramel and even frozen yoghurt. The family love it! If this all sounds like too much hard work then go and buy it from the supermarket and sit on your iPhone watching Netflix. Alternatively get a life and do something fun - make ice cream for your family!!

I've just received my ice-cream maker and just made a couple of batches of ice-cream, so far I'm really pleased with this product. I had never made ice cream before, and found the instructions clear an easy. The resulting ice-cream is delicious and the texture very creamy. The only downside of this machine is that a smal portion of the preparation will freeze on the sides of the bowl, but I find it an acceptable loss. Contrary to any review I have seen about any freeze-ahead machine, I have easily managed to make 2 batches in one day, and I'm pretty sure I could make a third if I wanted to. I've just froze the bowl 24h for the 1st batch, then cleaned it quickly with water just warm enough to melt the remaining ice-cream, dried it with a towel and put it back in the freezer for another 5h before making the second batch. Worked like a charm!

Makes fabulous ice cream Need to freeze the bowl for 16 hours so needs some prep

I love this machine. I don't understand the negative reviews. If i had space I'd buy two because you have to freeze the container the day before and I find the soft ice cream is at its best when you actually make it. That said it freezes fine. Quality depends on what you put into it, but there's nothing more satisfying than tucking into a bowl of your favourite flavoured ice cream that you made yourself ! Not too noisy and it only takes 15-20 minutes to churn.

It does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to use. Makes delicious ice cream.
