Do not buy this machine

This machine promises much but delivers very little.
The freezer unit works very well chilling down quickly,what lets this unit down is the motor and paddle attachment.

The mixing paddle is all but useless, only moving on the outer with the inner paddle sitting still in a thick mix, the paddle assembly comes to a complete stop before you attain a nice texture,the paddle,lid and motor seem very flimsy.

I've left the biggest failure of this unit till last....NOISE !!!!!! this must be the noisiest unit on the market, my wife and kids hated being in the kitchen when I was using it.

This unit is now no longer used.
