For what they cost, I figure I can buy a LOT of ice cream from the store. Plus, one less thing to tire of and store and eventually try to unload in a yard sale or donate.

I borrowed one of the manual types ( insert in freezer ) used a few times and returned it. I found I was making ice cream just to use the darn thing and taking up a lot of freezer space. There are too many other desserts I like.

Cross it off as just another kitchen fad.
