Rival White Mountain Ice Cream Maker

White Mountain 5 Qt. Ice Cream Maker

Strengths: Wood Bucket and design of mixer blade

Weakness: Must soak bucket before making Ice cream

White Mountain Electric Ice Cream Freezer

Strengths: Makes great ice cream that refreezes well.

Weakness: Poor material in motor and gear setup. Annoyingly loud. You absolutely cannot have a conversation in the same room with this beast. Bucket is made with cheap soft-wood, not cedar.

White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer Model #69206

Weakness: Motor not very well built

I had a previous Rival with a plastic bucket that worked well for 15 years. I bought the 6 Qt. model #69206 and it only lasted for 3 uses before the bolts that hold the motor in place broke. If you buy one, enjoy it while it lasts.

Not made well.

Strengths: None

Weakness: Weak motor.

I bought this freezer in May 09 and it quit on Nov 09. It just can't hold up with weekly use. I can't find the maker's number or web-site if anyone has a suggestion.
