I have never been able to keep the wooden bucket to hold water. I have had it soaking in a large tub of water for 2 months, & when I remove it, it still will not hold water. I bought it at Target last fall, & never have been able to freeze ice cream. When I used it, it never was frozen. I set it in the sink in water, to see if would be cold enough to freeze, & no such luck. . I am not very pleased. I borrowed a used white mountain, & had wonderful success. . D

I received the 4 quart version of this ice cream maker for a Christmas present. I couldn’t get it to hold the water and the ice cream wouldn’t freeze. I returned the freezer and got another one. It also wouldn’t hold water. The quality of these freezers is very questionable. I’m now trying to decide whether to get a White Mountain or another type with a plastic bucket.

I bought this gift as a wedding present and they absolutely loved it. They said it was their favorite and they couldn’t wait to use it. The product came quickly (early even) and was packaged well.

the item i ordered was a gift. so i didn’t take it out of the box, instead wrapping it. i was a disappointed that the box the item arrived in was dented, torn and scratched. it was a wedding gift and am a little embarassed it was presented in such a condition.
