## Questions people ask

**Why is it last?**

Because one in four of its 45 ratings is one-star, and it costs the most.

**Is it for home use?**

It is a commercial machine; a very serious home user would need the counter space for 12kg of stainless steel.

**How fast is it?**

As little as 30 minutes for 2 litres, from a built-in freezer.

**Do I pre-freeze anything?**

No, the freezer is built into the machine.

**Why not buy it anyway?**

Because 45 reviews cannot support a £250 purchase when the better-rated Cuisinart costs £19 less.

**How many ratings does it have?**

45 at the time of collection, averaging 3.8 stars, with 59 per cent five-star and 24 per cent one-star.
