Amazon.com Review:
While this wooden ice cream maker looks old-fashioned, it's actually electric, taking the arm work out of the whole process. In just 20 to 40 minutes, the maker produces up to five quarts (approximately 40 servings) of ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt. The high-torque motor shuts off automatically when freezing is complete. All that's required is rock salt, ice, and the desired mixture of any flavor (a recipe booklet is included). The Rival ice cream maker consists of the motor unit, a 10-by-11-1/2-inch wooden bucket, a metal ice cream can with plastic lid, a cork stopper for the hole in the lid, and a plastic dasher with a metal shaft. A latch system secures the motor unit to the bucket, and a 45-inch cord allows good reach to a power outlet.
To make good old vanilla ice cream, spiced cider sorbet, frozen strawberry yogurt, and many other tasty treats, the mixture is poured into the metal can, the dasher inserted, lid placed on, and motor unit engaged with the dasher shaft. The dasher does not turn during the freezing process; rather, the can turns around the dasher. Layers of ice and rock salt inside the wooden bucket around the can keep the temperature low enough to freeze the mixture. In case of leakage through the wooden bucket, it's a good idea to have newspaper or a plastic tub underneath. To harden ice cream, the dasher is removed after churning is complete, the cork stopper inserted into the lid, and ice and rock salt are packed over the entire can for a couple hours. All the parts except the motor unit should be washed and dried by hand. Rival covers the ice cream maker with a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Rating:  - Worked well for the first few batches
I was so pissed at this maker the other day, I visualized myself kicking it down my front yard!I've made ice cream for several years and have tried several makers.This one was reasonably priced and a brand that I was familiar with.It worked fine for the first few batches but the last two times, it's been terrible.The last batch that I made (I thought was frozen well), then I opened the canister and it was not.I finished it up in my Cuisinart freezer Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic 1-1/2-Quart ...

Rating:  - Poor wood construction, weak dasher
I guesswanting a good insualted type wooden bucket was needed RIVAL produces weak poor quality, Go with plastic bucket and plastic dasheris poor on performancebut for cheap value it teh plastic bucket that you must buy, Presoaking wooded tub prior to use is a waste of time and fun away from family
Rating: - Garbage
I bought this thing because my grandfather had a hand-crank ice cream maker, and made some of the best ice cream.Sadly, those are getting hard to come by.I was a little apprehensive about buying this, since I also remember that it was hard work churning that stuff and I fully expected the motor to burn out.It didn't, but everything else went wrong.The bucket doesn't rotate as quickly as with the hand-crank, the pail is really flimsy and bent the first time using it.Because there isn't enough ...

Rating:  - A favorite!
My first Rival Ice Cream maker died after about 10 yrs of a lot of use and I loved it so much I ordered another immediately.I make great ice cream which is a favorite for every family event.I would never purchase any other ice cream maker - hopefully Rival will continue with this model for many years.
Rating: - Poor product design.....faulty machine.

I called rival for their help. There response to me was that they do not honour the warranty for purchases made on amason and ebay. The lady at rival said I would have ... Read More
