This is my family's second White Mountain Freezer. We have had the first, smaller, one for almost 15 years, and it still works perfectly after being used 2 to 3 times a week every summer. The only problem is that with our large family, we run out of ice cream too fast! I found out about the 6 quart freezer and bought it for my parents as a gift. The amount of ice cream is perfect for a large family or a small party. My mother even uses it in her catering business. The motor is powerful, making the ice cream in no time! This is a great price for a great product!
