Klarstein Sweet Sundae - Ice Cream Machine, 1.5 Litres, with Self-Cooling Compressor, 200 Watts, Dispensing System, 3 Hour Auto-Cooling Function, Automatic Cleaning System, Stainless Steel, White

Produces amazing Mr. Whippy-esque ice cream. It's fast. It also makes a fair racket both during and for hours after the ice cream is made. And takes an hour to clean and dry before putting away. Did I mention how loud it is? Especially the graunchy windscreen wiper noises at the end which makes you think it is going to break. And the instructions are silly. Amazing ice cream!!! 🙂❤️

This has to be the best ice cream maker on the market. Not easy to find, so if it's available on Amazon, snap it up. It is important to know that this machine has its fridge/freezer within the machine; you do not have to remove a bowl and place it in the freezer for hours beforehand. Using it for the first time did not disappoint. We used Kerrymaid mix, which was great. It has its own timer, and it took 40 minutes to mix the ice cream, and it turned out perfectly. It is such great value for money compared to others. But best of all, IT IS EASY TO CLEAN. I was worried that I would have great ice cream but then have loads of bits and pieces to clean and put back together, but it cleans itself perfectly, with just one part that needs a little extra cleaning. This is a heavy appliance and of high quality throughout. The grandchildren loved it, as did the adults. It makes enough ice cream in 40 minutes for approximately 6 servings. I think I've covered everything LOL

Purchased the ice cream machine earlier this year, and this worked well for the first two months, delivering some good quality ice cream (I used premade mixes). I then noticed a burning smell during use and the machine stopped working properly (losing the ability to freeze the ice cream correctly), and I contacted the seller with concerns around a faulty motor/product. This is where things go downhill, and a quick look at other reviews indicates the problems I have experienced is a widespread issue. I'm told that I cannot return past 30 days, and I need to send the item back to a warehouse in Germany. That includes sourcing suitable packaging for a 30KG+ machine, and getting it to a courier office (in comparison to a seller-organized collection for heavy items outlined in Amazon's policy). I'm then offered a 20% discount to keep the broken machine and try to find the spare parts to repair myself. The supplier does not have spare parts, or share details on where to source. Further investigation shows this this a generic machine made in China (not Germany), and parts are not available. So in all, I'm being asked to front 80% of the product cost for scrap metal. Having pushed back on this, I'm then hit with more templated responses to advise they will not arrange collection, and I don't have the right to a return beyond 30 days. I'm now left out of pocket, and frustrated with both the machine itself and the customer service provided by Klarstein. Do yourself a favour - Don't buy this. It would be zero stars if I had the option.

I love this machine. I wanted a way to hit that nostalgic soft-serve craving at home and the Klarstein does it perfectly. It makes real soft-serve ice cream like you've had from the Mr. Whippy van. I've had it now for about a month, during which I've made up a batch of ice cream more-or-less every other day. Some observations from this time: - Easy to use, makes perfect soft serve ice cream every time (with a range of mixes - see below) - Batches of 0.5l get a good consistency after 40 mins, 1l about 65 mins - Different mixes hold different amounts of air, so will give more or fewer servings, but in general 0.5l of mix yields 4 large ice creams - Self-cleaning is pretty limited - make sure you properly take out the paddle and give everything a proper clean after each use I have tried many different mixes and recipes in this machine, and everything has come out great, but I have definitely discovered some which I prefer to others. Here are a few of my favourites: - Jersey Gold Pre-Made Ice Cream Mix: a little pricey, but easy to use; just pour it in. Yields a very creamy ice cream, albeit not one which hits that nostalgia spot (because it is too good). - Dessertify Classic Ice Cream Powder: per ice cream works out very cheap. You can mix with just milk, but result is too airy and light for my tastes. Instead I use 300ml semi-skimmed UHT milk + 200ml single cream + 150g mix (a bit less than instructions say), and this really hits my nostalgia spot. Objectively this is probably the worst tasting ice cream on the list, with quite a fake vanilla flavour, but still lovely and reminds me most of ice creams by the seaside. - Recipe from manual: manual has a recipe for a mix with just cream, milk and sugar. I tweaked it and used 200ml double elmlea (better than 'real' cream as emulsifiers keep mix stable), 300ml semi-skimmed UHT milk, 85g caster sugar, splash of vanilla extract. Blend it up to dissolve the sugar. Gives a very 'pure' flavoured ice cream which is a little denser than the other options but still great. - Franken-mix: this is my favourite mix I've come up so far with via experimentation, yielding a very creamy ice cream which holds its form really well (similar to McDonalds ice cream) with just the right amount of vanilla flavour. 250ml semi-skimmed UHT milk + 150ml Ambrosia Deluxe Custard + 100ml Elmlea Double + 60g Dessertify Powder Mix + 50g caster sugar.

The black nozzle where the ice cream is dispensed from kept coming off due to the pressure of the ice cream and ended up buried in my ice cream cone. I had to design and 3D printed a replacement with a better fit myself. Otherwise everything works well and the partial self cleaning is convenient.

Mache sagen das die Maschine laut sei ist aber nicht, zum Putzen ist es auch sehr gut ,ich liebe sie 😘 ,ich kann sie nur empfehlen ,ich hab versucht ein Video zu machen bin kein Profi aber bitte

Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit der Bedienung und dem Ergebnis.

Sind sehr zufrieden, für den Familien Gebrauch. Erste Mischung dauert ca. 40Min. Aber wenn man das weiß, ist das ok. Haben sogar auf der Geburtstagsfeier die erste Runde in Eierlikör Waffel Becher gefüllt ca 25 Stück rausbekommen. Fanden alle super.

Bin mit der Beschreibung nicht zufrieden. Macht aber gutes Eis

Preis -Leistung OK. Leider für eine größere Familie zu wenig Inhalt. 2,5 l. wären toll. Eis schmeckt hervorragend.
