Customer reviews

« poor design »

Kitchen Aid (KA)Ice Cream maker attachment does not work well--big disappointment. The drive assembly that should slip onto the motor head doesn't really fit, and when ice cream begins to firm up after less than 10 minutes of churning time, it flies off in a scary way. User is left with an ice cream mixture that is only slightly beginning to harden. At that point the only option is to put mixture in the freezer, even though it is not ready, and consequently the mixture freezes into a hard block. I have the KA bowl-lift stand mixer (4.5 quart) and checked/re-checked assembly instructions so I'm sure I put it on correctly. Maybe it works well with other KA mixers, but it definitely does not work well with the KA bowl-lift stand mixer 4.5 quart. KA customer assistance was no help--they just want to review the assembly instructions as if somehow it's been done wrong (=customer must be wrong/stupid). I'm going to buy another ice cream maker because this one cannot be used safely.

« The material made of - anodized aluminum. »

I was about to buy this product because I have the stand mixer and I love it.
From the picture can't tell what material the inside of the bowl is made of, so I went to the company's web side [[...]] and chatted with them.
The bowl is made inside of anodized aluminum.
Anodized aluminum is in fact ALUMINUM.
I told them aluminum is no longer acceptable to be used for products which get in direct contact with food; it is too toxic and people are getting more educated everyday, so they should replace the inside with a stainless steel one.
Hope the company will respond to this information and will consider making a bowl of SS instead.
It's up to us, the consumer, to demand from the producers what is best for us and our health.
If we speak up, they will listen, so I encourage more people to call/chat/write to companies and tell them what we want. They will get the message faster when more of us speak up for ourselves.

« nothing like homemade »

Bought this attachment for its ease of use and it works as expected. Quick and easy once you get used to the few tips, like keeping it frozen, amount it makes and starting the paddle before adding. Made sorbet and sherbet - fresh,cheap,healthier and nothing beats homemade especially if you have surplus ripe fruit.

« My Favorite New Kitchen Gadget »

I absolutely LOVE my KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment for my Artisan Mixer.... my deep freeze is at -15 degrees, so the bowl stayed cold enough to do 2 batches of chilled ice cream batter.... so simple and fast. My family loves the fact that we can have any flavor of ice cream in just a short time!! One of my best purchases EVER!!

« KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker-just what I knew it would be »

Instructions were easy to follow. Made great ice cream the first try. Didn't use the included recipes but found my own and it truly was great. The size is deceiving - it makes more than what I thought it would.
