I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Nostalgia 4 Quart Ice Cream Maker with Easy Carry Handle, and I must say, it's been a delightful addition to our summer festivities. Here's a rundown of my experience with this charming appliance.
First and foremost, the ice cream maker runs like a dream. The motor is surprisingly quiet, allowing for a peaceful ice cream-making process without disrupting the conversation or the atmosphere. The easy carry handle is a thoughtful touch, making it convenient to transport the machine from the kitchen to the patio for a fun outdoor ice cream session.
One thing to note is that this ice cream maker requires the use of rock salt, which might be a bit of a departure for those accustomed to the electric-free models. However, the trade-off is well worth it. The rock salt not only aids in achieving that perfect creamy consistency but also adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the whole experience.
Now, let's talk flavors. We decided to break in the Nostalgia ice cream maker with a batch of homemade coffee-flavored ice cream, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. The machine churned the mixture evenly, producing a rich and velvety texture that had everyone in awe. The coffee flavor was robust and perfectly infused into the ice cream, creating a treat that even the most discerning taste buds couldn't resist.
Cleanup was a breeze, thanks to the detachable parts that are easy to disassemble and wash. The compact design also makes storage a non-issue, fitting neatly into our kitchen cabinet until the next ice cream craving strikes.
In conclusion, the Nostalgia 4 Quart Ice Cream Maker with Easy Carry Handle is a winner in our household. It runs smoothly, embraces the old-school charm of using rock salt, and delivers on the promise of delicious homemade ice cream. Whether you're a seasoned ice cream enthusiast or a novice looking to try your hand at crafting frozen delights, this ice cream maker is a sweet investment that will surely leave you and your guests raving.

Almost Flawless
I have had this ice cream maker for a few months and have made at least four batches of ice cream with it. So far nothing has gone terribly wrong except for some problems with the construction and some worries that I have that I will get to later. First, all the worries I had when I first bought it have been mostly put to rest, the motor does not burn out or stop working. That said there is long term durability which is yet to be determined because of the cheap price. The maker come with good instructions. The construction is an outer plastic bucket that has a metal handle attached to it; on that metal handle is a plastic grip that helps with carrying. The inner bucket is made with aluminum and will easily be scratched by ice and salt as it is in use (this does not affect the ice creams ability it is only cosmetic). The beater is made from plastic; the motor is cased in plastic and has vents to allow heat dissipation. Now on to some of my worries 1.) The aluminum inner bowl is very thin. That means if you drop it, the bowl will dent and any deformation that blocks the turning of the beater will render the unit useless 2.) The motor while still working on mine still leaves me in doubt. This doubt around the motor is caused by the price tag; I will update this review if the motor goes wrong on mine. Now on the the problem. The outer plastic bucket has a metal handle attached to it, and that metal handle has a plastic grip. To make ice cream you need to add salt to ice, when the salt mixes with the ice it creates salt water. The saltwater when dumped from the bucket will hit the metal carrying handle and get in between the plastic grip and the metal handle, if the salt water is not cleaned off it will rust the handle. Mine has lost its chrome under the plastic handle and rust being rust will spread like cancer to the rest of the handle. They could fix this problem by making the handle stainless steel but this is unlikely, so if you buy this MAKE SURE YOU RINSE the handle under water. Or if you want to just make it easy take the plastic grip off. This problem is minor, it will not affect the ability of the ice cream maker to make ice cream but it might bother some of you so make sure you clean it after each use. I will include photos.
