 SIMPLE REMINDERS THAT MAY PROVE HELPFUL FOR 'FIRST-TIMERS' March 13, 2010
Penny (Plano, Texas)
Experience, the mother-lode for this gal!
First, be sure to plan your recipe and steps at least two days ahead of your first attempt to make ice cream using this maker. You can also practice putting on the plastic adapter (the directions are useless). Just know that you'll have to push upwards to get it attached to the spring.
Leave the mixer AND the paddle AND the eventual container for your concoction in the FREEZER a full 24 (or more) hours.
Next, be sure to COOL your custard mixes a minimum of two hours in the refrigerator before adding to the maker.
Finally, be sure to use a soft (plastic, etc.) SPATULA to scrape the mixer sides. Save that wooden or metal spoon for scraping the paddle. You'll enjoy the like-new appearance if you follow this step.
Of course, it goes without saying to preserve the appearance you'll also want to rinse the mixer IMMEDIATELY following your removal of its contents.
For those debating this or the Cuisinart addition to your kitchen counterspace, this is a much quieter operation--and with the Cuisinart, you'll still have to freeze the insert.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
 Not for all mixers March 11, 2010

A recent discussion on the cookware forum of chowhound pointed out that this attachment (ice cream maker) is not compatible with older stand mixers made prior to 1990. To be sure yours will work submit model and serial number to customer service at the KA site.
 Simple ice cream maker March 11, 2010
kathycooks (Fort Lauderdale, FL USA)
Unlike some of the other attachments I have bought for my Kitchenaid (I think I have them all!), this one is very useful. It easily makes a small amount of ice cream or gelato. Just follow the directions carefully, if you put the dasher in improperly, it can break or damage your mixer. The second time I used it, I didn't hook it up right - it kept clicking when it rotated. The ice cream was fine, but the next time I tried to use my mixer with the mixing blade, I couldn't remove the blade. My husband got his pliers out and forced it off. It's fine now, but I thought I might have ruined my favorite kitchen tool! I have the Kitchenaid mixer with the bowl-lift mechanism. The ice cream attachment works for both, but there is an extra piece that makes it work for mine and the installation is not intuitive.
My only quibble is that you have to freeze the bowl for a long time and chill the mix overnight for it to make proper ice cream. The old-fashioned ice cream machines didn't require so much advance notice for an ice cream binge, but it's a small price to pay for the convenience.
So easy, but must have plenty of freezer room. February 27, 2010

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.
