A friend recommended this idea as an activity for my 13 year olds. They love it and it's something in which we can all participate, which is wonderful. Trust me - finding something that both your kids want to do together, and WITH their parents, is not easy. We usually make cookies n cream.
The ball does leak a little at the rubber seam in the middle, but from the ice area - not the cream/sugar area. And, as I said, from the rubber seam area, not the lids themselves. I have the kids roll it on our carpet, on top of a sheet, just in case of leakage. Be sure to follow the instructions: roll for 10minutes, then open and scrape the sides down to mix the frozen cream on the side walls with the not-frozen cream still in the middle. Then roll/shack for another 10 minutes and repeat as needed. The cream that freezes to the sides is very thick and hard to scrape off. I find using a wooden spoon works much better than a rubber spatula (they are too flexible). And don't overfill the cream/sugar area. If you do, it will make a mess when removing the lid to stir. Make sure to wipe up any excess cream off the lid itself and the top before replacing the lid. Otherwise the cream will melt off the lid and the top and will seep out while rolling. One batch makes two decent sized bowls of ice cream (1.5-2 scoops each) or three smaller bowls.
4.5 stars only due to the water leakage at the seam.

Customers say
Customers find the ice cream maker fun and a great addition to family outings, making amazing ice cream with rich, creamy results. The product is kid-friendly, particularly as a birthday gift, and customers consider it good quality. However, durability is a concern as the rubber surrounding the metal breaks easily. Moreover, functionality and ease of use receive mixed feedback - while some say it works great, others report it doesn't work, and while some find it easy to use, others find it harder than expected. Additionally, several customers report leakage issues with the salt and ice compartment.

Don't listen to the other reviews! This thing is great!
I am sure there are a few of those reviews that are accurate. However, i found this ice cream maker to be super fun with my kids. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. Yes, it would be easier to buy from a store, but the ice cream is delicious and made from real ingredients. You need to snug up the doors, if you do, no leaks. You have to open the ice cream side at 10 minutes and scrape the sides with a non-metallic spoon. This is difficult because it is almost like ice but you still have to do it. I end up opening the ice cream side about 3 times during the process and fully scrape the walls. Its tough, but worth it. If you take the time necessary, it makes great ice cream. Our kids love rolling it back and forth. Would definitely recommend!
