Homemade ice cream is only one step away with this commercial-style machine. It does not require pre-freezing so it’s ready to make 1.5 quarts of ice cream as soon as the desire descends or the strawberries ripen. Just add the ingredients and set the timer. The automatic mixing paddle does all the work for you to produce smooth, creamy ice cream, yogurt or sorbet. Auto shutoff with audible "ready." Transparent lid has an opening for adding fruit, candy and nuts. Removable freezer bowl and paddle. 14"L x 10"W x 8.5"H
