Customers Promising Review: “Bought two of these for teenage boy gifts. They had a great time rolling ice cream. Recommend rolling on a smooth surface. We tried initially on a concrete patio but this tends to beat up the outside of the ball a bit. Followed a recipe from the instruction booklet. Absolutely recommend this for a bit of ice cream fun!” – Carol
“This is such a great ice cream maker. My boys love it! We’ve made lots of ice cream. It makes enough for 3 people easily.” – Richard Rease
“Just what we were looking for this summer. Our 2 and 5 year old have fun pushing and rolling it around while we are camping or having a bonfire. Just make sure the lids are on tight.” – Caitlin McSweeney
