Overall does its work very well. Suggest to clean really well before use because has some metal chips. But cleaning of the machine is really easy. Ice cream is ready really quickly (usually it takes 20 min only). Is a little bit big (and heavy) and makes some noise, but not anything unbearable. The manual should have a bit more information. You always have to make two ice creams (can not use only one side). Overall I am satisfied and would buy again.
