Very disappointed. Box didn't come with any recipes and nearly impossible to find any online. A lot of parts to wash and prep, but didn't yield much ice cream. All the little aperture holes were so tiny it took forever for liquid to ooze through, I just ended up pouring everything from mixing bowl to mold. Dots were so tough to remove from the mold, came out mostly as a big blob or melted before reaching the serving bowlMy kids (and husband) are obsessed with dippin dots so they bought this to make them at home. It’s just not the same. We made some with some juice and they froze in little ball form but were all stuck together in a flat line. The kids had fun pouring the Ingredients in and making them but the end product was lacking.Taking it out the box everything looked ok except for the fact that it doesn’t bring any mixing flavors. ((I know it doesn’t say it was going to bring any but I was being hopeful)) I washed all the items before use. Got the mixers that my kids wanted. The device and bottles were hard to use, the buttons kept getting stuck and the liquid mix kept leaking. I made sure everything was on tight but would still leak everywhere. I had a mess of chocolate milk everywhere. My kids were unable to push the buttons to dispense liquids so I did it. Putting it in the little plastic pieces was not that bad, feel like the liquid completely froze in two hours… I haven’t taken it out to try to yet but hopefully it won’t be so bad.Grands loved itSanta delivered!!??This was a gift to a 10 year old. He used it often and became confident in serving others.This is a good item for children who appreciate having a finished product that is comsumable, and need not be stored or dusted, or bathed and fed... It teaches them to follow directions, and some social skills in sharing with others. ( It also provides parents with an idea of how interested the child is in the area of kitchen creations.)I read the previous descriptions so I knew that the product was going to be a little chinsey. Remember that the flavors DO NOT come with this purchase - it is simply the machine itself. It is not easy to get the frozen dip and dots out of the containers and they do not look like real dip and dots whatsoever, but it is very fun for the childThis was a collectors set that my son just had to have. The prices are set to reflect that, but the overall quality of the set is solid. It doesn't quite make great dippin dots per say, but is still fun.Box arrived torn and damaged. Was meant as a gift, can’t give it away anymore.They were past expiry. Gave these as a gift to my niece and was quite embarrassed to learn that they had expired.My daughter really wanted this but has been used once ! It's now back in its box . It's a lot of hassle , not worth the wait .A+
