This is just a warning for those who want to purchase Musso S/S Pola ice cream maker (this is the opinion of my brother):\r\n\r\nOn the whole the maker is OK and it does the job.\r\nBut once you have broken anything in it, the cost of repair will very high! It is made in Italy. The repair warranty is only a year and the problem is that the only place in the country to get it repaired is in NJ. You will have to pay for the shipment to NJ and then pay for the repair.
