Although the unit is automatic, the freezer bowl must first be placed in your freezer before you make your dessert.
Preparing the Freezer Bowl:
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. The double insulated freezer bowl contains a cooling liquid between the bowl walls to create fast and even freezing. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is – for best results, place the bowl to the rear of your freezer where it is coldest. In general, freezing time is between 6 hours and 22 hours. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. For the most convenience, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times so you can take it out any time for immediate use.

by James (Mesa, AZ) 1 review Great price warranty just wish I could find the recipe for DQ soft serve icecream.
by naomi (Ely, NV) 1 review I used this for a barbecue ove r the 4th of July and it was a big hit. The best recipe was the coffee ice cream. Chocolate on was not that good. I will try some of the other recipes I have for ice cream, gelato and sorbet to see if they will do just as well.
by princess (Chapel Hill, NC) 1 review I had seen mixed reviews, but took a chance- we are very happy. Haven't had it long enough to decide where I'd rank it between 4 and 5 . 1) SET-UP: this was clear and straighforward. The only difficulty I had was early in use, when I was trying to re-assemble the clear chute back under the lever which opens the ice-cream flow; I had left the lever down and was stupidly trying to jam the chute back in for a good minute before I figured out that the lever handle must be up to create adequate space. 2) MAKING the ice cream: Overall process is simple, intuitive. The liquid may drip through when you initially pour it into the canister, so we start with a bowl under the opening and dump it back in if it's more than a spoonful. We used the basic vanilla recipe with a few variations--there has always been plenty of chill in the frozen canister to make a full recipe without a problem. Even on New Year's Eve, when we made additional ice cream (we had 9 people, incl 5 kids) by adding more liquid in 6-oz amounts as the supply of made ice cream dwindled, we didn't exhaust the freezing capacity of the machine. One can peer in through the open top at the ice cream as it's being made and easily monitor its consistency. The add-in apparatus was a huge hit with the kids. We used mini M and M's, choc. jimmies and rainbow sprinkles. 3) CLEAN-UP: no problems.
by Lisa (Somerset, KY) 5 reviews I purchased this item as a family Christmas gift and the first thing we made was dark chocolate ice cream. Talk about fresh and knowing exactly what you are eating. It was far easier to assemble and use that I thought it would be. Clean up is simple. The recipes are great and use ingredients that are common. We store the main mixer in the freezer all the time so it's ready to use at a moment's notice.
by Derald (Morrow, OH) 1 review Due to less than effective instructions for best results, we were forced to resort to trial and error before achieving the quality that we hoped for. For example.......very few consumers have any idea what temperature their freezer is set for. Very few consumers keep freezer thermometers in their homes. After a careful review, it does indicate that the freezer needs to be at
