Rated 5 out of 5 by Wesanator from Best tool ever Bought this for my wife for Xmas. She was so excited. She couldn't wait to see it work. So after some reading she tried simple vanilla from a recipe online. Well she got scared she didn't cook it long enough and ended up burning it a bit and after freezing the flavor was horrible. So read read read have alot of patients and follow directions on recipes. She has turned out some of the best freaking ice cream, since then, if adding ingredients freezer them before adding, freeze storage containers, cool the custard completely before freezing. Patients this is not quick but if you make a few bases they store for up to 4 days, then you can quickly make cream.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fishsticks from One of my favorite accessories I am really surprised at the low rating. I bought mine the first year it came out and use it monthly or more without any issues. I love it! The only attachment I use more is my slicer/shredder. I keep the ice cream bowl in a non self-defrosting deep freeze so it is always ready for me. i wonder if the non defrosting freezer is why ai have no leaking issues. But regardless, I could not be happier. I love ot and would and do highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sweetz from Easy to Use I've had nothing but great experiences with my ice creak maker. I purchased mine in April of 2017 and I've used it about 4 to 5 times since then. This is my first ice cream maker so I can't compare it to any other brand or model. I keep it stored in the freezer at all times just in case I want to make some sorbet at a moments notice. Its made me want to experiment with other flavors and fruits to see what else I can come up with. So far, I've only made strawberry and mango sorbet on different occasions. There has been no leaking of fluids thus far but I will be on the look out after reading all the bad reviews (crosses fingers). The warranty department is very responsive with other attachments I've had to call about in the past. Maybe Kitchenaid has an extended warranty after the year is up for attachments with a history of defects after the first year. Not sure, but definitely a great idea. I purchased mine on sale, so if something happens to it, I still saved money lol. The only draw back is that I wish I could make more than 2 qt. because this stuff is so dang good. I put the mango sorbet in my fruit smoothie to substitute ice... it was heaven!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jackie from Homemade ice dream machine I bought this on a whim...but it has turned out to be a necessity at our house. We all like ice cream and frequently to to the local shoppe for dessert after special dinners with the family. However, since the first batch of gelato (Kitchenaid mix) I made for our favorite dessert, we have not been to the local shoppe (I'll bet they miss us).

Rated 5 out of 5 by Candais from Works great My husband bought this for me for Christmas. I bought a Ben & Jerry's ice cream recipe book and everything that I have made has come out exactly the way that it should have. The bowl works best if you keep it in the freezer until you're absolutely ready to start mixing things together, so prep your stuff before pulling it out. Make sure to keep it away from things that put off heat like the stove or the oven, if you're cooking something at the same time. It takes about 30 minutes for the whole process to be complete. It's not magic people, the ice cream isn't completely frozen and you will have to put it in the freezer for a couple hours after mixing it up. The first couple of times I made ice cream I wasn't able to reuse it because I hadn't kept it in the freezer up until I mixed stuff, but I learned quickly and was able to make make more than one batch in one sitting. I love this bowl and it has honestly worked well. Maybe getting a recipe book will help with issues others have had.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Goddess_amber_d from Love this ice cream maker I have had this ice cream maker for almost 2 years and its still going strong. I make ice cream once a week, sometimes twice even tho I can't eat it. My family can and loves having ice cream on hand all year. I have made custard ice cream and fruit sorbets perfectly. It's not hard to put on or use. So much easier than a bulky ice cream maker from other brands
