Mine is not one of those "freeze the bowl" units. This one is like the commercial units with an alcohol based antifreeze (to duplicate the below freezing temp of ice & salt) and a built in compressor. Mix your recipe, pour into bowl, turn on machine and a half hour later, ice cream. You can even run one batch after another, after another. No ice, no salt, no bowls to put in the freezer.

THAT sounds seriously cool! (pun half intended) I'm guessing it cost significantly more than the $50 useless-frozen-bowl junker, though. How much ice cream did you have to make to break even? As I said earlier, the kids and I really are about to wear this one out - it's really feeling it's age this year. If I replace it with another $20 Rival, I know that I'll break even at about 6 batches with ingredient costs and figuring for premium ice cream (since it's hardly fair to compare homemade to cheap store-brand stuff.) Wonder if we'd get our money's worth out of an upgrade?
