I have had the same KitchenAid for over 10 years now, and have never had any issues! It’s a lifesavor and saves so much time and work. I love finding new attachments for it, and couldn’t resist this one! The bowl does need to stay in the freezer at least a day or two before use. And the ice cream will thicken up pretty quickly! However, you have to use the smaller mixer piece that comes with the ice cream bowl, and the small attachment piece. The attachment piece does not secure under the head of the machine with a click. It just sort of slides on, and slides back off. It took me awhile to figure it out. Otherwise, it’s great!

Very good quality quality like the rest of my kitchen aid products. We have been using this bowl through the summer making ice cream at least once a week. You have to be patient to make sure the ball is freezes enough time and then defrost when you’re done with your ice cream. I like attachment much more than standalone ice cream maker because then it doesn’t take as much space if you are worried about that but make sure you have enough space in your freezer to freeze the bowl usually covered with a bag so no debris will collect in the bowl itself.

The KitchenAid Ice Cream Mixer is a game-changer for anyone who loves homemade frozen treats. It's not just useful—it's a versatile, durable, and high-performing tool that makes creating everything from ice cream to sorbet a breeze.
