 Terrible quality!!! March 5, 2010
M. Sonntag
The ice cream maker motor burned out after 5 minutes into our first batch of ice cream. After following the instructions and putting water in the bucket for several hours, the wooden bucket developed a split and so it leaks water during the process. So, in the end we got a ice cream maker with a leaking bucket that only works with a hand crank. Terrible purchase and very disappointing.

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

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.
 I would recommend it! October 30, 2009

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!

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
