Pros:
- The obvious autonomous cooling system, which saves you the trouble of putting buckets in the freezer.
- Relatively quiet.
- Easy to clean.

Cons:
- Weak stirrer, which struggles as soon as the ice cream starts to thicken and harden. I consider this its biggest drawback.
- With high external temperature, it cannot reach the cooling degrees it promises. In my case, with a room temperature of 27°C, the device averaged -12°C. In the evening, when it cooled down a bit, it reached -16°C. It is possible that during the winter, when temperatures are low, it can go below -20°C or -30°C, but what's the use then? It's in the summer when we crave ice cream the most.
- The manufacturer provides a maximum amount of material that can be placed in the bucket, which is 1,200 ml. In reality, if you put more than 700-800 ml, problems start to arise with the stirrer, as mentioned above.
- Sometimes, when it struggles, it smells burnt in the motor area. I put the fan on top of it, but it doesn't change much.
- The stirrer is quite difficult to scrape when it's time to empty the ice cream from the bucket, due to its many angles and difficult spots for the spatula. Basically, if you spend too much time "scraping" the stirrer, the rest of the ice cream in the bucket will become a milkshake again.

Neutral:
- The texture of the ice cream is neither cold nor warm. The larger the quantity of mixture in the bucket, the softer the texture in the final result. And vice versa. I consider the turning point to be around 700-800 ml.

Tips:
- With high room temperature, it helps somewhat if the mixture is already cold and the bucket has been in the freezer for half an hour.

Conclusion:
I would not buy it again, nor would I recommend it. The humble ice cream maker for €40-50 has given me better and faster results (of course, at the cost of occupying a spot in the freezer).

It makes ice cream (in soft texture) in less than an hour. + about 2 more hours in the freezer and it's ready. After the mixing is finished and the program is completed, you can leave it in the machine for up to 1 hour to "set" more... Good purchase...

Very good machine, very good result. Just need to use the right ingredients. The only thing I would like is a slightly stronger motor in the mixing to keep the ice cream frozen for longer.

Very good machine for a house but also for a small café that wants to have fresh and homemade ice cream for a coffee with ice cream
