(More customer reviews)My eight-year-old son received the Blizzard Maker for a gift. He was ready to jump right in and start making blizzards but we had to get thru set up first and then go to the store for half-and-half.
The DQ Blizzard Maker is simply a manual ice cream maker. Fill the basin with ice, water, and salt. Mix 3/4 cup half-and-half to the powder packet (which is sugar and flavoring), pour into the middle tank in the basin, then turn the crank for 10 minutes. My son and I took turns (5 minutes each) and after 1 minute, he was asking if he was done yet.
There's a chute at the bottom of the ice cream tank to "push" out the ice cream so it looks like it does in the store. Using the chute requires removing the paddle attachment and adding a plunger attachment. We accidentally froze our ice cream too hard, which made the plunger attachment useless when we got close to the bottom.
Despite the name "blizzard," there is no way to mix the toppings (generic pop-rocks are included) into the ice cream using the machine. You're told in the directions to just pour the toppings on top.
The ice cream serving cups are small--about 1/2 the size of a tennis ball. You end up with enough ice cream for 2 of these servings. The ice cream is pretty tasty.
We had quite a bit of grinding as the gears slipped when we first started cranking the ice cream. Once we got the right tempo (not too fast, but fast enough to keep the cream moving), the grinding stopped.
Honestly? It's probably better to just get a manual ice cream maker...
