Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival F69206-X 6-Quart Electric White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer
Customer Review: Cheap motor dead on third use
Summary: 1 Stars
One has to wonder if Rival is cashing in the White Mountain reputation with cheap off-shore junk. We thought we were buying the ice cream maker we always wanted but it turned into a huge disappointment. On the third use the motor started with a hideous loud screeching noise. I thought it must be a fluke but another reviewer noted the same problem. More disturbing still was that after calling Rival for warranty service (mistakenly believing I could not return it to Amazon) I was sucked into their nightmarish support system. Assured that a new machine would be shipped to me if I would fax my receipt, I did so and waited a week before checking on the stutus of the warranty claim. They said that my fax had not been received in spite of my fax confirmation. Faxed again and called again. But no, I can't call them, they have to get the fax and call me, but they can't say when. While on hold I figure out Amazon's return system. So against the possibility that a replacement would last long enough that I might have to rely on Rival's warranty support, I decided just to get a refund rather than exchange it. (Follow up note: After getting my refund from Amazon, I was shipped two new machines from Rival's warranty fulfillment outfit which I'm planning to ship back. I've no intention of repeating the disappointment with an obviously poor quality product. I don't think this machine is even close to the quality of the older ones which built the reputation.)
(Update) I am still waiting for a call tag to get these out of my house.
Description of Rival F69206-X 6-Quart Electric White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer
Considered the Best Ice Cream Maker in America, this White Mountain machine has the exclusive triple motion dasher system that mixes and beats the entire contents of the ice cream mixture, producing the smoothest and creamiest ice cream around. They always say ice cream makes everything seem better!
For a century and a half, since a woman in New York invented the hand-crank freezer, making ice cream has been an American family value. Mom blended the ice cream mixture; Dad filled the maker's wooden tub with ice and rock salt to achieve the below-freezing temperature needed to produce smooth confections; kids clamored to turn the crank; and everyone happily consumed big bowls of ice cream as a reward. This family-bonding activity remains as vibrant today as it was through a century-and-a-half of "progress." With various ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet recipes included, this old-fashioned White Mountain ice cream maker maintains the tradition. Only the use of modern stainless steel for the freezer can and dasher and the electric motor distinguish this rugged maker from the one earlier generations enjoyed. And years from now it will still be used, knitting together a family's history. --Fred Brack
