Review: Works great for Keto ice cream - Just purchased this ice cream maker which arrived yesterday. As soon as I opened the box I cleaned the inner bowl and placed it in the freezer. I then made a basic low carb custard (1liter) with almond milk and cream, erythritol, vanilla essence and 6egg yolks. I also made almond cookie dough and smashed some dark chocolate. I let the mixture cool and then refrigerated it. Next day I churned the custard. Took 30mins to get a soft ice cream. Transferred that to a bowl and mixed in the chocolate and dough and decanted into a 1litre yogurt container for freezing. I’m very happy with the machine so far and it did a good job. The ice cream turned out amazingly. I normally buy a low carb ice cream but I can’t get it anymore so decided to give it a go myself. Glad I did because not only is it very cost effective to make, the machine will pay for itself after 6 batches, but also, the ice cream turned out just as good if not better than what I was purchasing. The machine is not very loud and is easy to clean. I was careful when adding the mix(a jug with a spout is worth having fir this) so not much cleaning required really but if you do make a mess on the lid the motor is detachable for an easy clean. I’ve never used an ice cream machine before so I can’t judge based on others however this machine does it’s job well so I would definitely recommend it. Ive put the inner bowl back into the freezer for next time so it’s ready to go.
Review: Easy to use, does the job. - This is very much a no fuss appliance, nothing fancy about it just one on/off knob but it does the job well, it has limitations but once you understand them and work within them it makes excellent Ice Cream at a low cost. I've made a fair few batches of Ice Cream with this so would recommend two things: First, the recommended time to freeze the bowl of 8 hours should be thought of as the absolute minimum time to freeze it, this is I think a common trait with all bowls that need freezing, the longer you freeze it the better the results will be, I give mine at least 24 hours. The mixture need to be as cold as possible too so make sure the mixture is well refrigerated before pouring in the bowl, I find it is a good idea to make the mixture and put it in the fridge at the same time as I put the bowl in to freeze so both are ready to go at the same time tomorrow. Second while the mixing bowl can hold 1.5 litres of liquids, it can not mix 1.5 litres of Ice Cream, the paddle creates a traveling peak as it churns and by the time it reaches the 'soft serve' stage the peak may just touch the paddle housing even with only around 915ml of ingredients (the amount in Frozen Custard) depending on how much air the mixture has beaten into it. If you do have too much in the bowl and the lid and paddle housing get messed up it is fiddly to clean and it is possible for the mixture to get up inside the housing if you go overboard, I'd not risk going much above 950ml of ingredients myself depending on aeration. The instructed method of adding ingredients through the lid as the paddle is in operation is quite fiddly and liable to make an unholy mess if you are not careful, you could risk putting all the mixture in the bowl before putting the bowl in the machine but a particularly thick mixture will probably cause the motor to struggle to get going and may invalidate any warranty. Other than those points it does the job very well for the price, the first one is, I believe, common to all Ice Cream makers where you freeze the bowl but as it is fiddly to clean and likely to get messed up if you are not very careful I can only give four stars.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone made it with almond milk and if so was it good?**
A: No, but I’ve made some excellent nut butter and cream and milk ice creams.  A cashew nut butter and coconut milk vegan recipe set very hard and was difficult to serve but tasted very good.  I used maple syrup to sweeten all my nut ice creams (pistachio, pecan and cashew so far).

**Q: How do I puchase a second bowl?**
A: Write to the Manufacturer.  They should give you all the information

**Q: What does digital powered mean**
A: Maybe a translation error, there is nothing 'digital' about this product, it does not have a timer and just one simple on/off knob.

**Q: How much ice cream can this make? I know the bowl capacity is 1.5L but also aware it needs space to churn and grow.**
A: Makes about the same as a tub of Ben and Jerrys if you use a large tub of double cream or in my case yoghurt and other ingredients

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Ice Cream Maker I have Ever Owned
*by S***Y on 19 May 2025*

A previous reviewer indicated that negative reviews of this machine were due to user error rather than faults with the machine, and I have to agree. I have been using ice cream makers for years, mainly from well known brands, and this is the best ice cream maker I have owned. It does its job brilliantly. The manual that you have to download is the weak point. It doesn’t point out that there is a button on the rear of the machine that you press in order to release the lid from the engine for cleaning, so regardless of reviews that state otherwise, yes you can clean the lid. (That said, it only takes a little commonsense from users to work this out for themselves). Someone else complained about the length of the manual, but it is multi-lingual. English is the first language used and it is a 5 minute read. The recipes in the manual are not good (I wouldn’t use any of them) but you can get recipes anywhere. The manual also advises you to freeze the inner bowl for 8 hours before making ice cream. This simply isn’t long enough. Freeze the bowl for at least 24 hours and make sure that your ice cream mix is fridge cold when you come to use the machine. Finally, the bowl needs a generous 15cms in height to fit in your freezer.
