First introduced in 1939 by Carvel ice cream parlors, soft-serve-style ice cream became a hit and is still a favorite among kids and adults alike. This ice cream machine makes 1 quart of premium soft-serve ice cream-enough to serve 8 to 10 cones--right at home in a mere 10 to 20 minutes and is a fun way to serve dessert at summer barbecues or kids' birthday parties. The unit stands 16-1/2 inches tall when assembled and comes with a patented freezer canister that must be pre-frozen for at least 8 hours before creating a dessert. The canister has walls that are liquid-filled for even freezing and that are double insulated to keep the bowl colder for a longer period of time. When ingredients are ready, the canister pops into the body compartment. The stir paddle fits inside the canister and the plastic lid locks onto the top. The lid is clear for checking that desserts reach the proper custard-like thickness and has an opening for easily adding ingredients; however, chunky ingredients, such as candies or nuts, should be added afterwards as they can clog and damage the soft-serve spout. The compact 28-watt motor fits onto the lid and the power switch starts the action. With the ice cream maker running, cooks pour their mixed recipes through the top of the lid and wait anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes for the ingredients to reach the proper consistency. Soft-serve desserts dispense through a spout just below the ice cream maker's body by pushing down on a lever. The sturdy base prevents the ice cream maker from tipping during mixing and its feet are spread wide apart to accommodate a large sundae bowl. This appliance comes with a recipe book and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Okay but not exactly what it advertises April 16, 2005
Penelope Haskew (Friday Harbor WA)
Well, I found this at a thrift store for about $9 so I don't have any hard feelings about it not working that well. I also made some really great ice cream with it though not quite as easily as it advertises. I found that after following all the directions I had to pour out the ice cream soup into another container and refreeze it. Then, after it hardened up enough it was great, albeit not soft serve. Sadly the freezer container fell out of the freezer and craked and all the chemical inside melted out while I mixed the last batch. At the prices they want for a new one I wouldn't recommend it at all. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy another for $9!
 Frozen or maybe not November 14, 2003

We bought this soft serve ice cream/frozen yogurt maker for my cousin for her birthday, and When we tried it the first time we thought maybe we just put too much liquid in the first time, so we tried a different recipe. That one also did not freeze. It does not seem to get cold enough for ice cream. But instead you get to eat some ice cream soup. Personally I like ice cream soup at the end of my ice cream (reminds me of childhood sitting at the table with my brother and us stiring our ice cream till it was soup), but do not like to start with it. I would definitely not buy this product ever again. In fact we are planning on sending it back.
