Industrial Revolution f-icep

$24.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
yes, it's a little soft right out of the ball, but the product description does say "soft serve ice cream." if you really want "hard" ice cream, just put it in the freezer for a while.
from www.amazon.com
this is a great product for kids, they really enjoyed the short period of time it took to make ice cream!
from www.amazon.com
our five year old stayed interested the whole time, so i didn't get to shake and roll it the whole time, and after 15-20 minutes the ice cream tasted like delicous soft serve!
from www.amazon.com
the ice cream was amazing -- even with the wrong kind of salt and not quite enough ice, it turned into a wonderful soft serve texture and the flavour was just what we were hoping for.
from www.amazon.com
i would suggest it for anyone who wants to make a little bit of homemade ice cream.
