Spend a bit more and get something that actually works. I had a terrible time getting the top to stay put, especially when the turning got difficult. The 'notch' that is supposed to hold the lid in place just doesn't. It's difficult to clean and I never got a good batch of ice cream. It's a waste of money. Mine is going bye-bye.

i have had my ice cream maker for so long i cant even remember when or where i got it. but i have got to tell ya, I love this thing.. the only problem is i lost the instruction manual and cant find the ice cream recipe that was in it.. its easy to use and i have given it to my daughter's daughter. shes 5 and now i need the recipe for the mix... HELP someone.. please send it to me at my email address .. i would be so appriciative...
THANK YOU NORDIC WARE. I LOVE IT... Linda K. suekea3@hotmail.com

With our freezer, the chamber gets so cold that a half pint of ice cream takes less than a minute to freeze. Larger portions take longer.

The unit is fairly sturdy. The lid isn't as tight as I'd like but it is fine.

I was so excited to receive this cotton candy maker for Christmas and to my disappointment it doesn't work. The instruction manual was no help. It didn't spin so the sugar just melted and burned in the center. When I tried to go on the website for information, I was redirected to some other bogus site. I am very disappointed.

I bought this as I'm a huge cotton candy lover and wanted to be able to make it whenever I was craving it. I gave it 3 stars as it is fairly easy to use, but the manual was like reading a picture book. Also, it doesn't seem to make a whole lot at one time, but I may just not have it down yet. It can get a little tiresome on the wrists. But the end results are very yummy and my 2 year old son loves it.

The Movietime Popcorn Maker is larger than need be, making storage a problem for those with limited space. This is a particular problem with this item because after a few uses, it's probably going to stay in storage until your next yard sale. Whatever the freshness or brand of popcorn you use, it has a high rate of unpopped kernels. The design of the unit makes it impossible to catch many the popped and unpopped kernels that spew forth -- some as far as 5 feet from the machine. The height of the ejection shoot prevents the placement of a bowl deep enough to contain the popcorn without flying about and the ersatz wheels prevent all but the tiniest bowls from getting close enough to the unit. If you get the popper, save the many unpopped kernels. Odds are there's nothing wrong with them and many will pop on subsequent attempts.

I was in the market for a hot air popper to cut back on the fat but it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. At last I found the product I've so desperately been looking for. Wrong answer. This is the worse mess I've seen. It only pops about a third of the kernels and shoots popcorn and hot kernels everywhere. Has anyone thought to let the manufacturer in on this worthless product? Obviously it was improperly tested. How about Consumer Reports?

This is so cute! It looks just like the big ones at a fraction of the cost. When i gave several as gifts to family and friends, i never saw so many appreciative thanks for the gift. The unit is a hot air popper so to liven the kernels up, i sprayed a little olive oil on the corn and sprinkled with seasonings. thank you target- this made a great gift.
