Pros & Cons
Pros
My only complaint is the noise. It's a lot louder than i expected. This thing is incredible -- it makes absolutely incredible ice cream.
Makes the most creamy and delicious frozen treats. Took only a few times to get hang of using the outer bowl and lid together. The trick is to rinse through and then clean it. The blade comes out for easy cleaning.
The ice cream/sorbet turns out pretty good. Their strawberry recipe is really very tasty (who knew a little splash of lemon juice would be so important?

My dad loved the chocolate one and hubby said the butter pecan tasted like the stuff you'd pay $5-10+/scoop for @ a high end restaurant.
Shipping
There was a ship date for some time in october.
But i guess one was available and next thing i know, it would be here in a couple days!
Packaging/appearance
Fast delivery, package in perfect condition , wife is happy
Competitiveness
Would recommend this one over the higher model.
