(More customer reviews)i needed this ice cream maker for thanksgiving. got it, took it out the box, inspected, and assembled it. it looked great and everything seemed to be just fine. the instructions advise that you soak the bucket for a couple of hours prior to the first use. on thanksgiving day i soaked the bucket and came back moments later and noticed the water level was declining more rapidly than expected. i refilled and tried again. the same thing happened. not a little water was coming out, but a steady, constant stream of significant amount. i could literally see the water going down. i look closer to see where the water is coming from, and i see a crack in the wood on both sides. i can actually move the pieces. well, we figured we would hand crank the ice cream in in a tub to collect the water. after about an hour or more of cranking the machine, it was still easy to turn/crank the handle. what is supposed to happen is as the ice cream freezes, it is supposed to be more difficult to turn/crank. we hand cranked for a little longer with little progress. That is when we used the automatic, electric component. well. after a while, it did finally freeze, but not as hard/firm as it should have if done by hand.
i had used the product so i couldnt return it.
pros: pretty
cons: wood barrel cracks going on both sides of the barrel. this was not visible to the naked eye until it was time to soak the bucket. water left the bucket constantly
did not freeze when using manual hand crank
when using the automatic/electric component, it took a long time, but finally froze. however the consistency/firmness could have been much better and firmer.
took way to long
