 So easy, but must have plenty of freezer room. February 27, 2010
T. Leech (Las Vegas)
You get the bowl, the paddle and a recipe/instruction booklet. The bowl must be frozen for a day before you want to make the ice cream so it helps if you have a large freezer that you can just keep the bowl in so it's ready whenever you want to use it. When I first purchased this I only had the freezer that is on the top of my refrigerator and in order to fit the bowl in I'd have to rearrange everything and hope I could squeeze it. The paddle is made of plastic, but you will only be using it to stir cream so not much stress going on it.
I have made chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, cheesecake, mint chocolate chip and strawberries and cream flavored ice creams with this (cookies n cream being my personal fav!). It is great and so much simpler than the old way with rock salt and ice all over the place. Definitely recommend to any ice cream lover that has a kitchenaid!!
 VERY Disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!! February 20, 2010
Disappointed User (Michigan, USA)
I am EXTREMELY disappointed with the Kitchen Aid ice cream maker. First thing I noticed, right out of the box, is that the mixer paddle is made out of very cheap and wimpy plastic! I love the mixer because it is built like a tank and will likely last far longer than I do (just replace the brushes every now and then). I've got the shredder and meat grinder attachments and they are also built very solid. So what is it with this cheapo plastic paddle? Plastic gets brittle and breaks easily with age, and I fully expect the paddle will break and need replacement every few years.
Next, I tried to mount the attachment on my mixer. We have a Kitchen Aid purchased in 1988 but the ice cream maker is supposed to fit all models, period. There is an adapter that slides on and is supposed to be held into place by little rubber dots(friction fit, does not lock on), but the adapter keeps falling off. This design is bad enough, but wait, it gets worse. The metal spindle that you normally attach things to is supposed to spin freely inside one hole of the adapter. But the metal pin on the spindle immediately began chewing a hole through the side when we turned it on. Good Grief.
I figured that surely, I must have installed something incorrectly, because Kitchen Aid stuff is the best built stuff around, right? But after carefully re-reading the directions and carefully studying everything, I confirmed that it is installed correctly. Wow. It really needs an adapter to fit over the spindle to protect the plastic adapter from the pin. But nothing is provided. So to make the ice cream maker work without self destructing, I had to wrap duct tape around the spindle and locking pin. Wow. A duct tape rigged repair on a new attachment, right out of the box, made by Kitchen Aid. Who would have believed it?
Normally Kitchen Aid stuff is really top notch so I'm wondering what the heck is going on. My best guess is that the design of the mixer must have changed sometime after we bought ours, and that the adapter fits correctly on newer models (the adapter can go on one of two ways, depending on the type of mixer head). Lots of people seem happy with it, so maybe they have newer mixers and it goes together better than it does on mine. But it still doesn't excuse the cheap plastic batter.
I think Kitchen Aid really needs to rethink this product. First, they need to make sure the quality of materials live up to the reputation of the brand. And second, they need to make sure that when they say it fits all models, it really fits all models. Otherwise, provide a warning that it won't fit older mixers.
Leave the bowl in your freezer to be ready whenever! February 18, 2010

I was so excited when this arrived but then had to wait for the bowl to chill in the freezer for at least 15 hours. The first thing I made was a lemon sorbet, just a simple syrup + meyer lemon juice and lemon zest. It was OK - not great. I did not let the mixture cool sufficiently before I churned it .... no patience! Next, I made one of Ben & Jerry's ice cream bases with 2 eggs (raw), sugar, cream & milk. I churned in coconut, sliced almonds and chopped bittersweet chocolate at the end. Very good. My most recent creation was coconut ice cream, using a can of coconut milk (in another of the 3 B & J bases that is cooked a bit). So far, my favorite was the 2nd, using the raw eggs.
I have a KSM90 Kitchenaid tilt-head mixer that I bought in 1997 and the bowl of the ice cream maker does not LOCK into it, yet it still works and doesn't jiggle when I use it. There is an adapter that comes with the bowl but that didn't fit either. Because it works well as is, I didn't look into it further.
If you have a Kitchenaid mixer, I think this is a great buy. If I hadn't had a mixer already, I'd probably have gotten the Cuisinart Ice Cream maker, which I've heard is great ... and a bit cheaper as well. I have a small kitchen so want to limit the number of specialized appliances as much as possible, which is why I went for the Kitchenaid, and I have loyalty to Kitchenaid because I use the mixer so much.
Finally, I keep the bowl in my freezer 24/7 so that I'm at the ready when the urge comes.
Great Add On. February 17, 2010

This makes the best tasting ice cream my family has ever had.
The recipes that come with it taste really good but are a lot of work, there are recipes on the web that are simple and still taste great.
If you own a Kitchen Aid stand mixer already you should get it, because this attachment was rated #1 on Americas Test Kitchen for ice cream makers. The only other one that was rated the same is over $300.
Also if you don't plan on eating all of it right away make sure the container you are going to freeze the ice cream in is cold or else it will start melting right when you put it in the container.
 Helados económicos February 14, 2010

Es un método económico para hacer helados sin tener que comprar costos aparatos. Se hacen bien los helados pero es necesario congelarlos un tiempo antes de consumirlos.
