Rival Electric 4-Quart Ice Cream Maker

45 minutes---it is done. every time. I have made ice cream for 40+ years and I have purchased several of these (left one at my parents' home, one at grandma's and 2 at my place) they work great. I have had another one for 2 years and no problems. Those complaining about the motor not strong enough to turn the container probably put the ice in and THEN turned on the machine. You always need to put the container in, turn on the machine and then start adding ice (or else the ice will make an ice layer on the inside of the ice cream and you will be stuck) Read more

for $20 how can you possibly beat this ice cream maker? its price alone should sell it, never mind the fact that it works flawlessly. i never made ice cream before i purchased this, and was very sceptical about spending nearly $200 for the really good makers, so i decided to go with this as a starter to see how it all went. it just doesnt get any easier than this! as far as some people saying that it doesnt stop automatically, it stops by itself just fine, as long as the ice cream is hard enough to slow down the dasher. and as a tip: if the ice cream never gets hard enough, simply add more rocksalt and pack down the ice with a knife a bit. the only gripe i have, is that maybe the motor could have been stronger or the dasher made of a stronger material, but for the price you do get what you pay for. i also purchased the ben & jerrys recipe book and highly recommend it as well. do yourself a favor and dont think twice and buy this great machine. you wont be dissapointed Read more
