I loved this attachment, but it started leaking blue liquid all over our freezer after about 8 months of use and had to toss it. ):

I think the seal leaked. Received it with a bluish jell like substance caked on the rims and other areas. It didn’t come off so I assumed the inner freezing substance leaked.

Super fun making ice cream with the family. The bowl works as expected. The pink scoop is pretty cheap which surprises me for this brand, but it works.

The media could not be loaded.

From the moment my wife got this as a gift she started making home made ice cream and other deserts. This was a big hit with the kids and gave us the option of knowing what ingredients were being put into our food.

You have to have enough room in your freezer. Do not put anything in it in the freezer because it will freeze in it and you wont be able to get it out. Make sure you mix everything together before you put it in the bowl and that it is cold. The attachment for the beater is a little hard to put on. The beater really doesn't attach but rather you have to align it so it works when you put the mixer head down. If you can do that it works great. Just remember to turn on the mixer before you pour your mixture in the bowl otherwise it starts to freeze up. As for the ice cream scoop mine was broken in the box still in the sealed bag. So I don't know how that worked. Their recipes have ingredients I have never heard off so get a different source. But it did work really well after you figure it.

This product works with your Kitchenaid Stand Mixer and does not take up counter space because it lives in your freezer until ready to use. Makes excellent ice cream and comes with recipes. So easy to make homemade ice cream and you can make lower calorie versions of all without adding extra "fillers" and gross sugar substitutes that are in the low cal versions in the store. You can make a pint of low fat ice cream for half the cost of a pint of any national brand, plus sweetened with only strawberries, no added sugar!

I've only made 3 batches of ice cream and I haven't used any of the recipe's included with the bowl (they all seemed kind of weird). The maximum capacity is about 8 cups so I've adjusted the recipes to accommodate the max capacity. I made a basic vanilla ice cream, apple cobbler ice cream and lemon sugar free ice cream and all of them came out great.My bowl lives in my upright deep freezer so it starts out around -10 degrees Fahrenheit. My first attempt I followed the instructions, pre mixing everything then chilling it over night in the refrigerator. My second attempt was the apple cobbler, I made the cobbler first then refrigerated it. When I was ready to make the ice cream I mixed the cream and sugar and tossed it in the bowl. The third ice cream, lemon sugar free ice cream, I premixed everything and chilled it over night in the refrigerator. When I was getting ready to make it, I put the premix into the freezer for about 30 minutes. All 3 ways seemed to produce the same tasty ice cream. The cream for the apple cobble ice cream may have been a little softer than the others but that worked to my advantage when putting into the storage container and mixing in the apple cobbler.I read most of the reviews before purchasing and saw someone say heavy cream and heavy whipping cream were different products, they really aren't. Brands choose the name but the product is the same. Fresh heavy cream works better than cream that is close to expiration date.Through the whole process the higher the fat content of the milk and cream, the better results you will get (this was mentioned on nearly every recipe I found, I have not tried lower fat milk/cream)When making a low sugar version, you want to use a sugar substitute that mixes 1 to 1 with regular sugar so that you don't lose volume.Cleaning the bowl is probably the hardest part for me. After mixing and packing my ice cream, I rinse the bowl with cold water and clean it with a sponge and soap, just using cold water and quickly dry with a lent free towel. If you don't get the water dried out quickly it will freeze in the bottom of the bowl. You don't want to run hot water into the frozen bowl as it could cause it to crack. If you chose to wash with warm/hot water, the bowl needs to be completely thawed to avoid damage. Thawing the bowl can take several hours to several days depending on temperature of your home (I keep my house around 58 degrees during the winter months and the bowl was still partially frozen after 3 days of sitting on the counter top) which is why I choose the cold wash method... I always want to be ready for the next batch. I could probably make 2-3 batches in a day with the deep freezer and cold wash between batches.If you like home made ice cream this is a great way to go! Be warned, you might also want to get a waffle cone maker too. Homemade ice cream pairs great with homemade ice cream cones.
