The ball does leak a little at the rubber seam in the middle, but from the ice area - not the cream/sugar area. And, as I said, from the rubber seam area, not the lids themselves. I have the kids roll it on our carpet, on top of a sheet, just in case of leakage. Be sure to follow the instructions: roll for 10minutes, then open and scrape the sides down to mix the frozen cream on the side walls with the not-frozen cream still in the middle. Then roll/shack for another 10 minutes and repeat as needed. The cream that freezes to the sides is very thick and hard to scrape off. I find using a wooden spoon works much better than a rubber spatula (they are too flexible). And don't overfill the cream/sugar area. If you do, it will make a mess when removing the lid to stir. Make sure to wipe up any excess cream off the lid itself and the top before replacing the lid. Otherwise the cream will melt off the lid and the top and will seep out while rolling. One batch makes two decent sized bowls of ice cream (1.5-2 scoops each) or three smaller bowls.
4.5 stars only due to the water leakage at the seam.
But then excellent ice cream!
Points to know:
-Mark which side is the ice cream vessel and which is ice and salt side. Because they aren’t marked, this makes it easier when it comes to checking on progress.
- if you drop or roll too hard the lid can come off of one of the ends. Just shake and roll it easily but not on hard surface and don’t drop it.
- it’s important to scrap down the ice cream forming about 15 min into the process otherwise it gets really solid on sides and middle is real soft.
- the ball can be cleaned easily !
- took us a full 20-25 min of constant shaking and rolling.
We loved it!
If it didn't break like this or come like this we would love it... but definitely flawed.
