I found it on Amazon for $134, called Lello Gelato 4070. But in many
reviews customers complain that they could not get ice cream as smooth
as from a grocery store, it always comes out with small chunks of ice.
So I am wodering - has anybody managed to get ice cream of the same
consistency as from a factory ?
