If it's the one they showed Sunday where you don't have to put tub in freezer beforehand, I looked it up on Prime. Forgot the name of company it was under but same colors and looked identical to this one. It seemed to have a lot of good reviews; sold for $126 on Prime, so QVC's price is better.

@eddyandme, you say you saw it on Prime. Do you mean Amazon? I saw the item on Amazon, but I can't find a site named Prime.

Amazon has the Mr Freeze Thermoelectric Ice Cream Maker. We are tempted to try this. Having to freeze "bowls" for our Cuisinart is a bit inconvenient. I bought the Cuisinart a few years ago for $30. It makes the best double chocolate peanut butter ice cream and the dulce de leche ice cream is my personal favorite.

@nomless

AmazonSmile.com, Mr Freeze EIM-700 Maxi-Matic 1.5 pts = $125.99; 3 reviews all five stars. QVC has a better price!

I purchased the ice cream maker. Have not made any ice cream yet. The demonstrator did not explain that almost everything has to be completely chilled first. The ice cream maker does not autimatically stop. After 45 minutes you have to keep checking it and then stop it yourself when you think the ice cream is ready. I am going to try a recipe, but I am not sure what to use when the recipe calls for 2 oz of egg substitute. Does that mean something that says egg substitute on the package or something that can be an egg substitute such as applesauce. If anyone knows please explain. Thank you. Someday I'll learn to wait for reviews before I order!!

@UKgram I would assume it means an egg substitute like "Egg Beaters" , etc. (sold in a container that looks like a milk carton) I didn't see the presentation so I could be wrong. There are other brands of egg substitute also.

I bought the Ninja Master Prep for $29 from HSN, and use it to make my own ice creme and frozen yogurt. You can use whatever fruits and flavours you want. If I want someone richer, then I just get ice creme at the store.

Might have spit in it from some twit that thinks it's funny to spit or no telling what else do to it.

After QVC's version debuted last year, I investigated the Mr. Freeze machine available through Amazon because it was a bit cheaper, and I discovered that both units are produced by the same manufacturer and are identical minus the brand name (and QVC has additional colors not offered elsewhere). I purchased the Mr. Freeze version and absolutely love it! It is just as easy to use as shown and yields fantastic results. We recently got it out again for the summer and have been using it a lot.

The only potential concern I'd pass along is that you really need to understand that the machine makes just one pint at a time. That isn't as much as some people seem to be expecting. However, if your ingredients are fully chilled, you can immediately start another batch after your first batch is done, which is another benefit over the versions with the tubs that have to be pre-frozen.

All in all, I recommend this ice cream maker. And definitely check out the manual it comes with because it includes many more recipes than you'll get elsewhere. (I actually suggest downloading the manual from last year's unit, K45559, because it was even better than this year's; although that item is sold out, the PDF file for the manual is still posted on the product page. I hope that's okay to share since it's still a QVC product!)

@UKgram What's up with this Cook's Essential girl ? She always gives bad directions, she did with the bread maker also. I saw that the ingredients have to be chilled , better if over night. That to me is a good idea , I think it will be finished quicker.

@LisaMofSLC How long ago did you purchase the ice cream maker from HSN ?

@SharkE I like knowing what going into my food.That doesn't look to be too much work. I like sherbet and they don't sell it anywhere near my home. So I want to make my own. And it isn't a month's worth with the machine.
