This was fun for my grandsons. Ice cream tasted great, only took about 20 minutes. It’s hard to get the lid off to scrape down the sides, and a little difficult to get the finished ice cream out of the ball, but overall a fun project. We will get better at it I’m sure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Chinsy and will break unfortunately don't waste your money
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2023
We were so excited to make ice cream at camp with this ball! I brought it with us filled it up and it started leaking out of the side (not from the opening compartment).. it was just water so we said it's fine I thought it could have been condensation.. we rolled it around the campsite which was flat - took forever... and it was leaking really bad then... so I scooped everyone the ice cream they loved it but then when I went to clean it i took it apart and there was this huge crack along the ice chamber ! No wonder it took forever and was leaking everywhere.... this was the first time using it and on a flat ground no one threw it. I'm thinking it came defective ? But unsure. Tried to contact customer service and they want me to pay to ship it back to them for a return ! What a joke.
If it didn't break like this or come like this we would love it... but definitely flawed.
