Yonanas 902CR Classic Vegan Non-Dairy Frozen Fruit Soft Serve Dessert Maker, BPA Free, Includes 36 Recipes, 200 Watts, Coral

Better than dole whip! I love how easy this is to use and clean! You can make a clean, healthy, sweet treat easily at home. The consistency is amazing! I'm very picky about ingredients and I love that I can pick my own and don't have to buy a pre-made mix or wait a long time for it to be ready. If you have frozen fruit you can have a heavenly dessert in no time!

This works great! Made delicious easy banana ice cream. Easy to use and clean. Very happy with this purchase.

I was telling a couple of the girls at work yesterday about how I'd gotten a Yonana and how eager I was to try it. One of the other girls comes up and says, "You ordered a Yonana?" I said yes, thinking she was going to tell me wonderful things about it. Instead, she said she'd had one, that she hated it, and recommended that I immediately pack it up and ship it back without trying it. She claimed it was noisy and difficult to clean. She recommended getting a Ninja instead and said a Ninja is more versatile, but then she went on to say that she has to add liquid to her fruit, which defeats the purpose for why I'd ordered the Yonana in the first place. I'm on Weight Watchers, and I'd ordered the Yonana because all you need is fruit and fruit is zero points on Weight Watchers. What's not to love about "free" food? My co-worker also complained about needing to use two bananas for the Yonana and said that bananas are too high in carbs. High in carbs or not, bananas still count as "free" food on Weight Watchers and, contrary to what my co-worker said, you do not need to use two bananas nor do you need to use any bananas. So, being the stubborn person that I am, I decided not to take my co-worker's advice. Last night I got to try the Yonana. My assessment...it is noisy. So noisy that it should be packed up and shipped back? No. It's no more noisy than my blender or my son's juicer. And it is not difficult to clean. Not in the least little bit. In fact, I was a bit wary of the blades on the blade cone because they looked a bit evil, like they could scrape up a knuckle without a second thought - but the blades actually ended up being very easy to clean off. You can actually just run the parts under water and rinse them off, it cleaned up that easily. If my co-worker wants to see difficult to clean, she can borrow my son's juicer, which requires scrubbing with a toothbrush to get all the pulp out. I'd read some reviews on the Ninja and one of the reviews complained that the Ninja is a pain when you want to add additional ingredients because you have to take off the motor and take off a lid and there was another step that I don't remember. My co-worker agreed that you do need to do all that, but she poo-pooed that review as saying that's really not an issue. Well, I can't vouch for the Ninja, but I can say that adding fruit to the Yonana is very easy. You just pull out the plunger (which you can get a little bit of suction there) and pop in the fruit and then plunge away. Creating the "ice cream" is very quick. I mean, very quick! In less time than it takes to dig frozen real ice cream out of a tub, you can have a Yonana treat. (Well, okay, that might not be totally true as you do need to thaw your frozen fruit first...but take the thawing part out of the equation, you can have the Yonana treat more quickly than real ice cream and without the cussing and swearing.) There is no waste in ingredients with the Yonana. I am always astounded by my son's juicer at how much wasted product is left over. With the Yonana, you get to eat every bit of what goes into it. You will want to disassemble the unit right away, however, because you will find that some edible "ice cream" remains between the blade cover and the blade cone and some in the gasket too, but that's very easy to scrape out, put in the bowl, and enjoy. I did notice that it seems that the first bowl of Yonana gets cheated out of some of their treat and subsequent bowls seem to be more filled. I'm not sure what the reason for that is as it didn't appear that there was fruit left in the plunger. Maybe it's the amount of fruit that remains between the cone cover and blade cone? I don't know, but a solution is to make one big batch and then separate it into portions. The unit is much smaller than I'd expected it to be. It takes up less room than a toaster or a traditional blender or my son's gigantic juicer. It is tall, however. But if you leave it out on a countertop, height isn't an issue. It's the footprint that would be an issue. One thing I discovered that I don't really like about the design of the Yonana is that the spout the "ice cream" comes out is too close to the unit and sometimes the "ice cream" wants to curl back toward the unit and not into your bowl, even though I had the bowl pushed up next to the machine. A simple fix would be for the Yonana designer to make a longer spout. Next Yonana generation maybe. In the meantime, the user can use a higher bowl, or maybe a glass? Overall, am I 100% sold on Yonana? No. I wish I could say I am, but, after tasting my first creation, I think I'd rather just eat the fruit. The concoction does not taste like ice cream - it does, however, have the texture of soft serve ice cream. Oddly, my son, who drank a full 12 ounce glass of grainy juiced carrots without complaint made faces as he ate his banana/peach Yonana. He did eat it all, but I don't think he's going to be asking me to make him another Yonana treat. As for me, I do not like bananas, at all, and a few areas of my banana/berry tasted way too much like banana. (And, yes, I know, you do not need to use the bananas. I made my Yonana treat using just one banana, one half before the berries and one half after.) Am I going to ship my Yonana back? No. I'm going to give it more of a try. First off, a lot of the reviews and the Yonana owner's manual/recipe books all say to use ripe bananas. I didn't have ripe bananas. I just froze the bananas that were the most banged up looking and they really weren't all that ripe. So I'm hoping that bananas that are truly ripe and not simply banged up will make a difference. Also, I intend to give it a try using just fruit without the bananas. I am also hoping that in time I will move beyond the desire for my concoctions to be ice cream and that I'll just be happy that I'm having a Weight Watchers zero point treat. My husband also said that he thinks the Yonana will be a nice cold treat come summer when it's hot. So, do I recommend the Yonana? Yes, I do. In fact, despite my not being sold on the taste of my first creation, I do intend on sharing my Yonana experience with my Weight Watchers group as well as my friends. Like a few of the reviews said, if you want ice cream, go buy ice cream. If you want a good, healthy, zero point treat, then, by all means, get a Yonana. It's a good machine that does exactly what it's meant to do. Follow up - I tried again and used just a berry mix (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries) and four slices of peaches (no bananas). Very good. Even better, I mixed in a container of blueberry Fiber One yogurt (just one Weight Watchers point). Now, that was a good mixture that I can easily eat multiple times. It is runny, like soft serve ice cream that's melted, but, boy did it taste good.

My husband & I LOVE our Yonanas! It's so easy to use, and super simple to clean. We used to have a juicer, but I hated cleaning it - Yonanas is a piece of cake. You can wash it in the sink in 5 minutes, or stick the various parts in the dishwasher. I would say the consistency of the Yonanas is less like a soft serve, and more like a sorbet, but it's super yummy. It's fun to mix & match all the fruits, and is a great solution to all of those spotty bananas no one wants to eat! It's important to freeze the bananas in advance (peel them first), then let them thaw around 7-8 minutes. We've mixed in strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and even some pieces of chocolate. So yummy! Fantastic if you're vegan, lactose, or gluten free. Yonanas also comes with a great recipe book that includes cakes, pies, and some boozy adult treats! 10/10 and i'm buying another one to give to my parents!

I been meaning to get one but i wasnt fully bought on it. Saw that amazon offered me a coupon for it n just pulled the trigger. Im glad i did, has a learning curve for when to add fruit to it. I had two jams that almost made me give up on it. But totally my fault after watching videos. Cant just shove frozen fruit strait from freezer. I put them in microwave for 10 ish seconds and that helps the machine a lot more. So far i been making Banana sorbet since i love them. I will start investing on more fruit now. I been cutting all my vices; smoking, alcohol and now the high sugar intake from snacks. Eating fruit sorbet is like cheating! Way better than eating a regular banana. Freezing fruit changes the whole structure of the fruit. Make it sweeter and very soft. I can now make batches and make sure my mom is also enjoying healthier ice cream not worrying we are eating too much sugar and alternative junk they inject into store bought stuff. Now for the meh part; Cleaning may be a bummer if you had a jam happen. Opening the drum is messy and have to scoop out the extra still stuck in there by hand. But other than that? Runs fine, again make sure the fruit is soft freeze before using or it will jam fast. Wish it came with a cleaning brush or handle to manual jam deterrent without opening it.

Yonans ice cream maker works good most of the time. Seems to prefer some frozen fruit over others, leaves chunks. Use have to be quick to fill the top with fruit to keep product going into a bowl. Where we are it starts to melt faster then I can product the final product. For best results, bend soft serve contents with spoon, then place in freezer for a short time to have an ice cream like product. I don't think I would buy this again.

I found this after googling "paleo ice cream" and bought it right away. It arrived, and I had already peeled frozen bananas waiting in the freezer. It came already assembled, and the only thing I had to do was plug it in. I read the instructions, and thawed my bananas for fifteen minutes. It does say in one area of the booklet to thaw for five minutes, but in a different area it states 15. Go for the 15. Five minutes would have resulted in ice chips, I feel. I dropped one banana in, and then a handful of chocolate chips, and then pushed another banana in, and out came amazing soft serve banana-chocolate chip ice cream, with no weird fillers, no weird chemicals, and no weird fake colors. I was shocked. You see these things on tv and don't actually expect them to work as described, but this one made ice cream like a champ. For what it's worth, the booklet that comes with the machine suggests over and over to use "cheetah spotted bananas" because they're sweeter, but I prefer a stronger banana flavor and less sweetness, so I was perfectly happy using fresh bananas. They don't affect the actually yonana consistency. Some notes. I had no issues with leaking, but I did make sure the leak stopping gasket was installed correctly, per instruction booklet. It wasn't hard. I had no issues with clean up. While your ice cream is sitting on the counter doing its thing, it takes a literal sixty seconds to pop the Yonana maker apart and rinse clean. For people who say a lot of yonana is left in the machine, I would concur, however, I took a spoon and easily scooped out the ice cream left in the machine and put it into my bowl. It was still the proper yonana consistency and taste. Just don't lick the blades with your tongue to get ALL the yonana out and you'll be okay. Some people complained it takes two bananas to make one serving, which is true, however, considering two bananas is only about 250 calories, that's not a bad deal I figured. If for some reason 250 calories of plain fruit isn't in your diet plan, you can freeze half. I tried it, and it makes ice cream that is scoopable, like a pint you would buy from the store. I did not find the machine unbearably noisy. It took me longer to decide how many chocolate chips to put into the machine then it actually took the machine to make the ice cream. The noise is no louder than a blender and is on for far less time. One last thing- when the yonana is coming out of the machine I found that far less is left in the machine if the bowl is shorter and flatter and turned as the yonana comes out. However, once you're done plunging it really is not a big deal to pop the blade housing off the machine and scoop out the "still inside the machine" yonana, in the event your bowl turning skills are lacking (as mine for sure were). I would recommend Yonanas to all my friends. They're always asking me to bring it over so they can push fruit and chocolate or peanut butter through. For the record, I do find that a small food processor and a blender make almost the same consistency, but not quite. We tried with a food processor and the blades are just too big to make a nice soft serve consistency. The Yoanana's blade are very tiny. With the blender it took forever having to shove the fruit back down into the blades. If you're paleo, or just don't want to eat ice cream with crazy amounts of sugar or weird stuff inside, buy this thing. Follow the instructions, mildly thaw your frozen fruit, and enjoy.

I was so excited when I bought this machine. I read the product being mentioned in fitness magazine and when I looked it up online I thought it looked great! I read as many reviews and watched as many videos that I could find before purchasing this item. For the most part the reviews were great and people that enjoyed the product really loved it and used it daily. I was unfortunately not so lucky. Once I opened the packaging I was impressed. I liked the sleek design and how compact it was. I read the recipe book that came with it and became more excited! I went to the produce section and purchased by bananas. My grocery store takes the bananas that are very brown and they put them on discount for people that want to cook with them, like banana bread. It was very cheap and I got a lot of them. They also cut the tops off of them so they were even lighter which means cheaper! I froze my bananas for two days before using them. When turning the machine on I was disappointed with how loud it was. After I read all those reviews I had no idea what to expect for sound level because it wasn't mentioned often. The sound level is similar to a bunch of ice cubes in a blender. Maybe that's why in so many videos I saw they simply show the product and then show a bowl full of the banana sorbet, not it actually being made. When putting the banana into the top of the machine I actually had to push very hard to get the banana to go through the blade system. However neither of these problems are deal breakers... It could still be very good. Once the banana started to come out it did look like it was simply mashed. Since the only ingredient is banana I didn't expect ice cream consistency but I could literally get the same thing if I put banana in a ziploc bag and hit it with a hammer. It looked pretty disgusting. I also threw in a couple frozen chocolate chips into the machine. It didn't actually chop them up or disperse the chocolate at all, they came out of the machine whole. There was no point to adding them into the machine. Then I tried my expensive mashed banana and hated it. I love bananas but this tasted horrible. I read online about the starch taste but I also read that brown bananas will get rid of that taste and will be much sweeter. I did not find this to be true. I added other ingredients to see if I could mask the taste such as peanut butter and chocolate syrup (ruining the idea of healthy alternative) and it was still very starchy. I don't think of myself as a picky eater at all but this was disguising. Once I returned to my Yonana maker in the kitchen I found a large pile of melted banana, peanut butter and chocolate all over my counter and dripping onto my floor. I was away for maybe an hour and it was beginning to harden. It was a very disappointing experience. The take away Pros It is healthier than ice cream. Very compact. If you like the taste good for you! Cons Loud. The blade system is not perfected and seems cheap. The fruit will need some force to get through the blade system. The Yonana maker holds a large volume of the banana product in it's system and will melt. Multiple ingredients will not disperse well. The banana product is hardly a sorbet or even similar. Overpriced for the service it provides (a smasher). I personally could not stand the taste when using banana as an ingredient. I could have tried other fruits to see if I liked the flavor better but I was so put off by the entire experience that I don't want to touch it again.

Excelente producto, cumple con todo lo que viene en la descripcion. Yo lo utilizo mucho para hacer postres saludables, pero basicamente cualquier producto congelado se puede convertir en un rico postre. Facil de limpiar y es sencillo de armar. Solo llevo 3 meses con el, espero que me dure mucho tiempo. RECOMENDADO

La máquina es buena y cumple su función, no me gustó el sabor ni la consistencia de las bananas parecía puré chicloso, quizás no las congelé lo suficiente, pero seguiré probando con otras frutas y haciendo nuevas combinaciones
