I bought this ice cream maker at Target last year, and I haven't had any of the problems that other reviewers have noted. We have used it about 5 times so far, and have not had any problem with the motor. The ice cream is very soft when it is done (45 minutes or less), but that is normal, and if you let it sit in the freezer overnight it is perfect consistency the next day. There are a lot of intstructions to follow to get everything just right, but that is true for any ice cream maker. Once you get all the steps down, the ice cream is very easy to make. Definitely worth the effort!
 Completely unusable after the 4th batch June 13, 2010

I see this has already received poor reviews, but mine has failed in a new way, so I figured I should add my complaints just in case anyone was still thinking about buying one of these.
I bought this last summer and have made 3 successful batches of ice cream, although I found the other problems already mentioned in other reviews to be true to varying degrees. The motor didn't stop right away like it has for others, but when it eventually did, the ice cream was still very soft. The hand crank was more or less worthless because the internal gears are plastic and they slip when there is any significant resistance. On the 4th batch of ice cream, the aluminum bucket got a hole in the bottom, which caused the ice cream to get salt water mixed in it so it tasted terrible and never froze. The bucket is also starting to leak a good deal of water, although I could overlook that if not for the other problems.
To summarize, I'd have been far better off buying $50 worth of very expensive ice cream.

This was the WORST product Ive ever bought. I bought it for my husband and was so excited when it came that day. We bought all the stuff for it and got everything ready and turned on the electric motor and it quit within 5 minutes. I took it off and tried it again and it wouldnt work. I was very very upset.

I purchased this icecream maker with the electric and hand crank options. While using it the second time with the electric motor it stripped out the gears. I contacted Aroma through their online customer service link and I still haven't heard back from them. Like other reviews the hand crank was very noisy so I sprayed it down with some WD40 and now it seems to be ok. If I had it to do all over again I would save my money and get a better quality icecream maker.

What a huge disappointment. I bought one of these at a local store last week and returned it. It looks good. The aluminum container is relatively heavy gauge. The motor is simply not up to the task and the manual crank is poor. The motor stopped but the ice cream was still liquid.
