So easy to use and clean and the best ice cream whenever you want, quiet and worth every penny and the retro colored kitchen and this appliance looks amazing! Really gets noticed and great for guests

I absolutely love this machine. It makes perfect soft serve ice cream, milkshakes and slushies. I haven't tried all the functions or recipes but the ones I've tried are great. I will say do NOT add the amount of salt they have listed on the ice cream recipe or you will have a very salty ice cream. We did that for the first one and it was gross, but only added a pinch the next time and it was amazing. It is very easy to use and all things considered does not take very long to make your treat. It also has a self cleaning functioning that makes cleaning it so easy and it's not too loud in my opinion. It was expensive but is a high quality product and also looks cute.

I can show you more photos of the two cracked bowls. I had to take them in order to get them replaced. After the 2nd one I was offered yet another bowl, but they are out so it was going to be 2 months waiting. I can tell you why they are out, because they break. My first broke in the 2nd week of use, the second broke after 2 uses. I see there are others with the same issue, not sure how anyone doesn't have this issue, unless the seal portion on some units pulls tighter. I heard mine crack when I put it on. With all my going back and forth with GreenPan on the warranty and replacements I missed the return window. The vendor and Amazon understood that I tried to get this fixed and refunded me my money. BUT, here is my issue, this would be an amazing product, the ice cream, the slushies, the lemonade slushies, margaritas were great. There was no competitor (until 2 weeks ago) that had a compressor and could do all these types of items. Seriously, I and my AI friends searched and searched, until just last week a competitor emerged with a very similar product, which we ordered. Last notes on this, the bowl has a double wall, and water gets in that wall during use and washing, there is only a door at the bottom to let water out, so the inside gets wet and cloudy and starts to look bad. No way to clean it. Until this bowl is fixed, I recommend you not buy this. FYI, I have done 3000+ reviews and only a few times have I said, do not buy. Hopefully they get a new bowl, this could be a great product.

We have a daycare, so we make ice cream everyday. Only issue was the mixing part wore down quite quickly. I contacted manufacturer and they sent a new part FREE of charge. We love our ice cream maker, already made over 5000 4 oz. cups just over a year in our daycare. Very durable, performance is great. Easy to use, makes great tasting ice cream. Size is spot on.

Worked like a charm! This machine is a little bigger than a drip coffee machine. It was quite easy to use and I made the mango frozen yogurt recipe in the GreenPan recipe book. It came out great! I thought the soft serve consistency was perfect. I'm looking forward to making vegan soft serve, frozen drinks, sorbets, and milkshakes! This is so fun. And, honestly, clean up wasn't bad at all. It's about the same level of clean up after using a juicer. I'm pleased with this purchase.

Purchased this product; and also the Ninja Swirl thinking I would do a comparison myself on how close to good soft serve each machine could produce. Caught both on special so the price of each was almost identical. Also bought some Dole Orange Soft Serve Mix (here on Amazon) to try out the machines. Used a Dole recipe I found online (started with 1 cup of Dole mix) and instead of the 3 cups of water in this recipe, I used 2 cups water and 1 cup whole milk. Mixed it in a large measuring cup with a whisk. Into the Greenpan the mix went; and started the machine on the default L4 setting for soft serve. (UPDATE: Later batches I used 1 cup heavy cream instead of the 1 cup whole milk to make it creamier; and set the machine to L5) All I can say is WOW....it was perfect. Dispensed into pre-chilled bowls and what a treat it was. The quantity of mix using the 1-cup Dole recipe was too much for two people (we ate it until we couldn't any more lol). Leftovers went into a pre-chilled glass container with an airtight cover and into the freezer. Next day I had orange sorbet....yum. Next was vanilla soft serve...2 cups whole milk, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix powder, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Tasty! I did bump up the cold setting to L5 to get it a little more firm. And might use slightly less vanilla extract next time. Experimentation is part of the fun. While some recipes include adding salt, I don't add salt to any of the mixes I've made. Turns out I never opened the Ninja Swirl box...it went back to the store. The Greenpan was that good. Who wants to wait 24 hours to satisfy a frozen treat craving? And what do I do with the store-bought ice cream I had in the freezer? Decisions, decisions. VERY IMPORTANT - Since this unit has an internal compressor, upon initial delivery; or if the unit has been placed on its side for any period of time, it must be allowed to sit upright for AT LEAST 2 hours (the longer the better) before turning on, to allow the compressor oil to flow back down into the bottom of the compressor. If not done, the compressor can be damaged and will significantly shorten its life. Also, I would recommend to not lift the machine by grabbing the plastic mixing chamber or the handle - it will put pressure on the slots that hold the mixing chamber onto the machine and might break them, causing a leak. So far I've made two batches of Dole mix (pineapple and orange), two batches of vanilla soft serve and one chocolate soft serve in the span of about 10 days. I'm gonna get fat lol........

It was bigger than anticipated, but overall super happy with the ease of use, cleaning, and operation. I made frozen Whiskey Sour's as my first experiment and they were AMAZING!!!

We love this! Grandkids love the soft serve ice cream, and we like the spiked slushies we can enjoy in the pool. Lots of reviews mentioning condensation between the walls of the container, as well as issues with the drip tray. Condensation is a natural phenomenon, and disappears with time. No problem with our drip tray. Not an everyday appliance, but great to have for special occasions.
