My daughter wanted an icecream maker for Christmas. She was so excited. This is a load of rubbish. The icecream sticks like ice (rock) to the drum you can get it off. The scooper thing which is supposed to press against the drum to get it off isnt strong enough. Total waste of money DO NOT BUY THIS. Tried by myself - fail, tried by my husband - fail and tried by my mother again fail! Rubbish rubbish rubbish :((((
