I bought this item for my brother-in-law's birthday. So far he has made grape, vanilla and root beer ice cream which all turned out great! It did freeze up once but he did something and got it working again...that's the only reason for not rating it a 5!



Devil in the Details - Daysha Hughes -
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






Classic Ice Cream Maker - Ruby G. Turner -
This was my third try at finding a high quality ice cream maker without a high price. This product was the best of both! I highly recommend it. A note oc caution:
be sure to read the instructions before using it.






Ice cream makers only lukewarm - K. Rhea - Columbus, MS
I was disappointed with the overall quality of the icecream maker. While not necessarily shoddy, a little more care in manufacturing would have made a lot of difference. Redwood would have been a much better choice than pine. The handle kept falling off. That being said,it did its job well though. It makes icecream exactly as it should.Maxi-Matic EIM-506 Elite Gourmet 6-Quart Old-Fashioned Pine-Bucket Electric/Manual Ice-Cream Maker

I have purchased less expensive models in the past (actually have gone through 2 of the cheaper models) and had the gears strip. This time I stepped up and bought good one, you won't be disappointed.



The Noisemaker - John Butler - Little Mountain, SC USA
This product looks nice, does not leak, and performs as advertised. However, the motor is so loud and noisy, you cannot stay in the same room or area with the unit. The factory says that the noise is normal, but other I/C makers we have owned were not as noisy. I will definitely not recommend this I/C maker to anyone.





warning! bad motor on 6 qt freezer - fearless reader - USA
I am very disappointed with the rival White Mountain freezer. If I am lucky in 4-6 weeks I will receive a fed ex sticker to return my defective motor with. The first person I spoke with after using the freezer 3 times and it broke, said they would send me a new moter. That was great. Then they called me back and said, oops, bad info you need to send the bad one back. We know we have issues with bad motors but sorry, you need to send it back and we will try to repair it. After 2 weeks I called back and they said it will take 4-6 weeks just to send a sticker in the mail. Who knows how long before I get a repaired, defective motor back! Needless to say, I will not be purchasing anything from Rival in the future.I will be careful what I buy from Amazon at all. I was very disgusted by this shoddy service as well as the shoddy product I was sold. Thanks for nothing Rival!!!





Inferior Product - Does Not Meet Expectations - Gene - Winston, Georgia USA
We purchased the 6 quart electric White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer online and after making about 6 churns of ice cream, the motor begin to excreet a black oily substance onto the top of the churn while processing. After making one contact after another to determine the warranty in attempt to get the motor replaced, I learned that this expensive ice cream freezer has only one (1) year of warranty. The motor cost about .00 to replace. We used the product while camping with our friends. Our friends then purchased the same product. After making 6 churns of ice cream, their motor went bad too. We have deemed this product totally unsatisfactory and will never again brag on the White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer nor recommend to any of our friends. We are now using a .99 ice cream freezer from Walmart which still works after 10 years! The White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer does not live up to the old standards of the White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer that my parents used!





The best ice cream freezer - R. Everett - Raleigh, NC
The wooden tub makes all the difference! I have used this brand for years. I remember hand cranking one of these as a kid. No freezer makes better ice cream.

Aroma AIC-206EM 6-Quart Wood-Barrel Ice-Cream Maker, Black

6 QT, Old Fashioned, Solid Pine Barrel, Ice Cream Maker, Black Plastic Motor Housing, Die Cast Aluminum Hand Crank, Aluminum Canister With Plastic Lid, Bucket Handle & Stirrer, Easy To Use & Clean.
We love our icecream maker! It is great to be able to choose from hand crank or automatic. When using the automated churner the motor stops automatically when the icecream is done churning so you have to keep and eye on the icecream maker. The kids love to hand crank it but get tired before the icecream is done. We use the vanilla ice cream recipe to make all our icecream we just add flavored milk from a local dairy to flavor it. We have made rootbeer, strawberry, and cotton candy icecream so far and look forward to making banana, coffee, and chocolate soon. <<< Read more comment for Aroma AIC-206EM 6-Quart Wood-Barrel Ice-Cream Maker, Black... >>>
