A few of the common concerns: Want SMOOTH ice cream, without crystals?

It is quiet and makes wonderful ice cream very quickly

Unless you have a blast chiller than can freeze your ice cream very quickly, I recommend not making more than you and your friends intend to eat, which shouldn't be an issue since it also doesn't make that much ice cream (seems like about 1.5 - 2 quarts).Inexpensive little unit for experimenting with flavors, but you probably won't use it as much as you think.

My biggest issue with that one was that it wouldn't freeze the ice cream quick enough and tended to overchurn the ice cream (giving it a buttery texture which I didn't like).This unit works great - it's not too noisy and takes about 30-40 minutes to make ice cream

The result is no better (actually not even as good) as the ice cream I make from the freezer bucket with my standmixer.

When used for the appropriate amount of time (for me 1 quart of ice cream for 35-40 minutes) your ice cream will be more solid and consistent than when using a freezer bowl (still a soft serve consistency) that being said, when I freeze my ice cream I find less ice crystals because the mixture was more frozen in the first place, so less refreezing goes on
