The motor is quite loud though.

They are also correct about the outer wooden bucket not draining the water. The metal canister is flimsy, as are the brackets which broke the first time we... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~439305866884 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:22:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_439305866884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_439011937924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alanclrk - I have made 3 batches of ice cream and while a learning process, each was a basically success. If too much ice is used particularly at the beginning it will not run. Freeing it by turning by hand worked or just turning it on and off.

It took about 30 minutes to make frozen yogurt. It turned out like soft serve ice cream and was tasty - I combined recipes. I put the left over amount in the freezer and tried it today.

Tried to make ice cream three times I got one batch of ice cream in the end. While it is SUPER NOISY, I guess it may be quiet for an ice cream maker.

It was a cool appliance, though the bright red (the R on the model number differentiated it) never quite fit my decor.
