Nice product, happy with my purchase and may buy again.

Bought, washed, the bowl stood for a day in the freezer. I did not like the consistency of ice cream, but after additional freezing the norms. We did everything according to the instructions, the mixture was poured about half the bowl.
In general, I consider the purchase meaningless for myself. Rather, it is for people who like this (cooking, experiments, etc.). Homemade ice cream is more expensive, time-consuming (preparing the mixtures themselves from scratch. Perhaps you should try store-bought ones), and you can’t eat right after the ice cream maker - soft and vile.
We use it as a sorbet. Of course, it also additionally freezes after an ice cream maker (because it is also soft and nasty, even fluid) for a couple of hours, but it turns out tastier than purchased sorbets, and obviously cheaper.
Even with additional freezing and without additional stirring, it comes out without ice crystals. Those. the structure of the ice cream is correct, it mixes well, despite its shortcomings in another.
In general, it’s a good thing, but for plastic parts that break down in a year (probably they won’t last longer) - I take off a star.

Pros

Compactness, design, ease of use, good tasty ice cream and sorbet, from which the stomach does not hurt. There is an opportunity to experiment (for example, ice cream with m&m's, marshmallows, etc.).

Cons

1) I don't think the plastic parts will last long. And without them, it will not make sense; 2) It turns out a lump of ice cream on a plastic whisk + a frozen layer of ice cream on the machines and on the bottom (it is not possible to scrape it off. It freezes only at a few hours at room temperature and is no longer suitable for eating. About a quarter of the ice cream is lost this way. With sorbet - normal in this regard ) + the rest is liquid, which is tasteless without additional freezing. Yes, and a piece on the whisk, too. You have to scrape off the whisk, mix with liquid, try to scrape off the walls (which turns into lumps in the total mass), and then you have to hold it in the freezer for a couple of hours after the ice cream maker (which is sorbet, which is ice cream). The total mass after the ice cream maker is a thin, nasty cold mass, with hard pieces of what was scraped off the walls; 3) Of course, there is no question of any formation of beautiful ice cream balls. There, the knife is bent from ice cream and sorbet, which will stand in the freezer. I’m already seriously thinking about adding vegetable oil to the mixture for the right consistency . We scrape the sorbet like “fruit snow” with a spoon, and after the freezer we defrost the ice cream for 10 minutes before we can chop off a piece to eat. But this is not the fault of the ice cream maker, it is rather the shortcomings of homemade ice cream and sorbet in general.
