Davis & Waddell DES0318

I recently bought a Davis and Waddell ice cream maker . I was disappointed to see that the item was packaged up in polystyrene and even the box was not recyclable due to the plastic covering.

Considering the research regarding the problematic nature of plastic, for our environment and the suggested hormonal modulation of plastic chemicals and their additives to human health, I believe it is high time for companies such as Davis and Waddell to change their packaging to a more sustainable product. Plenty of businesses, such as IKEA have already changed their packaging to cardboard and paper. It is doable and I will not be buying another Davis and Waddell product until changes are made in this area.

Flimsy plastic churner that gets stuck easily Plastic rim not secured & breaks easily Ice cream tastes fantastic however it is not worth the pain as the machine breaks & you have to churn by hand Do not recommend at all

Excellent!! – SUPER easy to use and clean. No icecream left behind, frozen on the edges as with other brands. Delicious recipes that the whole family loves, and provision to play with more flavours. Whole process takes 5 mins prep and 25-35 mins to churn, longer if you want to freeze for a harder batch. Can't recommend highly enough! Show details

Simple and easy to use – Purchased the ice cream machine from Victoria Basement at a discounted price. Easy to use and quiet. The only issue I have is the pouring outlet, a bit small for the ice cream mixture to go down the chute, otherwise great machine.
