Seems to do everything it's supposed to do. Just made my first batch of ice cream. Unit arrived clean, packaged correctly in original box and packaging materials intact with the user's guide.
Re Cuisinart ICE-21FR itself: the outer plastic cover and the plastic dasher seem to be of lightweight material. I recommend extra care when handling so they don't break. The freezer bowl, however, is sturdy and durable. The motor unit is fine and what I would expect from the Cuisinart brand.
