Reviews of Maximatic Eim 506 Elite Gourmet 6 Quart Old Fashioned Pine Bucket Electric Manual Ice Cream Maker
In defense of cheap products!
Rating by : D. Harris "Chickysod", 
After reading all the reviews on all the ice cream makers I found one common theme; lots of one star reviews for a "cheap" product.
News flash, welcome to the world we live in. The lifestyle you get to live is because of economies of scale and mass production that we enjoy. The old days of 1923 White Mountain freezers are gone. Unless you want to spend $180-$200 on a "White Mountain" ice cream maker that is still getting bad reviews and is now owned by Rival, I would suggest just a few tweaks to make this machine great.
First, my barrel had a crack in it like other people have complained about. Instead of having to deal with sending it back, I bought some wood glue for $4 at a hardware store and bought 6 hose clamps ($2 each) and connected two of them to make them fit around the barrel for each of the 3 wire rings. I pulled off the 3 cheap wires (that are only for show) and put some glue in the crack and tightened the hose clamps then left them on to keep it tight.
Is it as pretty? Probably not as nice to look at as one fresh out the box. Does it do a bang up job for the price I was willing to pay? Yes.
The ice cream has come out fantastic and as long as you follow the directions, you should be just fine. I used the hand crank after the motor stopped and although the hand crank was made of cheap plastic, it still churned it for another 5-10 minutes. After I couldn't turn it, I stopped. I didn't keep forcing it until it broke (like other people who have written bad reviews) I just stopped. I know, weird...
So if you're like me and unwilling to spend $100+ dollars on a product that was probably manufactured in the same continent as this one, and you're willing to put a little sweat equity into your purchase? This is a great buy. I got what I paid for and tweaked it and it turned out just fine.
Ice cream bucket

Both my husband and I have childhood memories of cranking the ice cream bucket as part of any family or church gathering. What ever happened to that, I don't know. When his birthday rolled around, I was at a loss to come up with the perfect gift. We had looked at electric ice cream freezers and were unimpressed with the too small plastic bucket of the cheap models we saw. Finally we gave up on ever finding a real, hand crank icecream maker. Then I found this one and was frankly disappointed that I had to "settle" for the electric option, but bought it because the birthdate was upon me it had the hand crank option as well. I figured we would never use the electric option because cranking it by hand was part of the nostalgia. Couldn't have been more wrong! First night, I set up a batch in the kitchen sink, plugged it in and turned it on. It works so perfectly well that we may never be able to persuede any of the adult kids to crank it again! We love this machine. The bucket is large and sturdy. The motor seems strong enough to run until the custard sets. Cannot say if the motor will outlast us or not. Anyone interested in my recipe?
Makes great ice cream!

We read the reviews for this one and several others before deciding to go with this model. It arrived in perfect condition, no cracks in the barrel. We followed another gentleman's directions: When the machine shuts itself off, leave it off, put on the hand crank and crank it a couple more minutes until it won't turn. We've made two batches so far and neither one lasted long. We usually just make a 2 quart recipe and the ice cream is a bit firmer than soft serve. It's good this way and just as good after setting up.
