Reading reviews…

Krups brand has a good reputation, but my experience with their automatic ice cream maker has raised some concerns, "buyer beware." I read all 17 reviews, and only three ranked less than 5 stars. I found JM's two star review dated Aug 3,07 particularly useful because I encountered similar but not identical issues. from Amazon.com the krups ice cream maker is easy to use, perfect for two. It runs very quietly from Amazon.com The Krups GVS142 ice-cream machine performs as advertised. I've prepared several different versions of ice cream and each turned out as expected. from Amazon.com Once the motor starts running, there is more than sufficient vibration to jiggle the lid out and up. This will result in the paddle no longer scraping against the bottom of the frozen bowl as it turns and you are left with a non-creamy solid block at the bottom of the bowl when you are done. I called Krups support line about this issue. After 20 minutes on hold waiting for someone to pick up, and another 5 minutes on hold after I explained the issue for the agent to track down the machine so he could see for himself, I was told "If it makes you feel any better, the previous model's lid just sat on top with nothing to hold it down at all." Which tells me the designers were aware of the issue but couldn't come up with a very good idea to solve it, and didn't do sufficient testing to determine whether the problem had been solved. from Amazon.com Use of the Krupps does require planning, since the bowl has to be frozen for 12 hours before. We find this no problem since we keep it in the freezer all the time. Our only disappointment is in finding gelato recipes - you can find hundreds of incredibly good, fat filled, heart attack causing recipes (some come with the Krups), but we love the italian ices. This disappointment only comes because the Krupps has liberated us to make our own ice dreams. from Amazon.com easy to assemble, easy to clean, simple operation, and it makes good ice cream! from Amazon.com makes great ice cream, it's fast, and number one feature-it's so quiet you can not hear it unless you're in the room. from Amazon.com like all ice cream you can make at home with a small machine, what comes out is soft serve. from Amazon.com in about 30 minutes, you'll have soft serve ice cream. from Amazon.com be aware however, that homemade ice cream has a very soft texture, more like soft serve than anything else...but worth the 45 or so minutes needed to whip up a batch. from Amazon.com
