Idea Village ICEMAG Ice Cream Magic, Multicolor

easy to use but havent found the right milk consistency.

Our daughter also saw those commercials on the t.v. at her grandmas house. On the way home one day she almost quoted the commercial verbatim highlighting the 3 minutes and the ability to make different flavors. Of course, this was a Christmas item. We searched for the product and she confirmed it when we found it on here. We read the negative comments on and braced ourselves and her, warning that it may not be what she expected. After trying it tonight, I will say this..... PEOPLE MUST NOT BE READING/ FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY. We used cold Heavy cream AS INDICATED. We used crushed ice AS INDICATED (by putting our ice in the blender.) We used 4 tbls of table salt AS INDICATED. We made vanilla for now and used the amount INDICATED. We set a timer and the whole family shook it for 3 minutes AS INDICATED. My daughter loved this part and exclaimed we were in a commercial! For this alone I will give it 5 stars. But I also give a 5 it because people just like to complain for no reason. It came out the consistency of a soft serve/ frozen yogurt. You can shake it longer for thicker consistency (ALSO INDICATED) No pre-freezing or altering the directions at all. It came out quite tasty! When you see the cup and the size of the compartments the ingredients go in, who in the world thinks it will make a lot?? Who even wants to give a Small child a Large quantity of ice cream anyway? This made a perfect One Scoop serving size and if you add toppings, it will reach above the rim. So ya commercials always make things look bigger/ better/ tastier. Who ever ate a burger that looked exactly as it did on the commercial?? Did we get the only one in the world that worked or are we the only ones who can follow instructions correctly and not get bent out of shape when an inexpensive child's product yields a result different than our expectations??

The photo and description are deceiving. You cannot make even a 1/3 cup ice cream in this “machine” - more like mini-plastic-mug, there isn’t even the double insulated liquid area to freeze, you add ice cubes that would BARELY fit in it to “freeze” the ice cream!! It doesn’t even come in packaging, this was loose in a bubble wrap envelope with a PHOTOCOPY of the instructions. And there is no return allowed - so when you pay too much for this less-than dollar store garbage, you are STUCK with it.Beyond unhappy. Save yourself the disappointment!

(I put a normal sized scissors in the photo to show how small it is )When I started opining the packages it felt Werd. It came with no box and it arrived in a bag. It’s smaller than my hands and my hands are pritty small. There was no instructions and all it came with was a spoon. I took it out of the BAG and it looked like a cup. I took the top off and looked inside, all that was there was a shallow dip in the plastic. It does not look like you could make ice cream with this at all, you might be able to use it as an ice cream bowl but it would disappoint you greatly. It looks like on the outside it could fit a lot more ice cream than it does. There is nothing to tell how to make the ice cream eather. And there is no directions. I am very disappointed in this and I won’t ever get it again. I bought it when it was 50% off thinking I would get a cute little ice cream maker, and I know it would not have been the best quality but what I got should be worth like 90% off. DONT GET THIS IT IS A SCAM

excellent merci
