I've for one -it makes a soft-serve type icecream.

I find it a bit of a bother having to freeze the inner container at least evernight plus make up the icecream recipe and put to chill in fridge for hours or ivernight. Then get it all together and turn it on when it churns and you can soon open the outlet to slowly catch soft-serve in dishes. Which to my mind need to be chilled to stop it melting too fast.

Maybe there are better ones on the market.

Only do on special ocassions now. Too lazy.

I have a Krups and it is easy to use - depends on the age of the child I guess.

I have a magimix which is great. I just keep the bowl in the freezer so it is always cold when I need it. A small child would have trocuble with it though as removing the icecream completely does take a bit of effort - my arthritic thumbs protest quit a bit. By ten or so it should be no problem.
