Cuisinart soft serve maker Review

I bougiht this soft serve machine as a fun summer suprise for my kids.  We first got it home and did not have the proper ingredients to make soft serve yogurt so we tried peppermint soft serve which was terrible, but not the machines fault!!! 

We attempted a vanilla soft serve for the next time.  The flavor was good but as before the consistency was not as firm as we like.  It melted quickly and was very very soft. 

Each time after that we attempted the soft serve we had the same problem with too soft of soft serve.  We even left the freezer bowl in the freezer for a week and it made no difference.

The sprinkle and topping dispenser worked just ok.  It seemed to clog more than anything.   My candy craving children did not like this much either as they wanted MORE Candy for there soft serve sundaes.

When they say "soft" they mean soft.

I have a friend that has a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker with the same freezer bowl and it works great.  We love that ice cream and i would recommend the old fashion kind.
