KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment for Stand Mixer, 2 Quart, KSMICM, White

When I first opened the box and read the directions, I almost returned thinking, “this isn’t going to work”. The paddle attachment doesn’t actually lock into place. Thankfully I watched a video on how it works and decided to give it a try. It works surprisingly well. You do have to freeze the bowl for at least 18 hours before making ice cream. It takes about 20-ish minutes to get to soft-serve consistency. At that point I add to a container and freeze longer. You can still eat at soft-serve consistency if you like. Washing is very easy.

I am impressed with the attachment and the mixer. The bowl was placed in freezer the night before I wanted ice cream. The directions said 20 minutes of mixing; however mine was done in less than 8 minutes. Super easy to use . Perfect capacity and stayed cold. The cleaning was super easy too; I ran cool water and let it set until outside was thawed and the fluid on the inside sounded slushy. Next time I will make the ice cream when ready to eat, rather than storing it for next day.

This was a fantastic attachment for my wife. The functionality of it is great. It made probably in our minds the best ice cream we have ever had. You need to make sure you freezer is at its lowest setting to get the bowl to freeze. We set ours to -4 and it came out frozen just like you need it to. The texture of the ice cream was firm but so smooth and silky. Its consistency was spot on. If you are looking to make your own homemade ice cream then you can go wrong with this attachment.

This is definitely the best attachment that kitchen aid offers. It’s very simple to use, just requires forethought to freeze the bowl ahead of time. Can be tricky if you don’t have much space in your freezer. The ice cream you can make is amazing and so much better than whatever you get from the store, takes only 20 minutes of mixing to get soft serve consistency

I had two issues with the product, both minor. First, the connector attachment doesn't fit flush to the mixer, which makes it a bit awkward to setup - not difficult, just awkward. The instructions do not tell you that once you start churning the ice cream, you cannot stop until it is completed period. If you stop he mixer for any reason, do NOT restart it. If you do, the plastic connector will snap as the dasher will have frozen in the bowl. This happened to me when our power went out for about 30 seconds then came back on. I wasn't close enough to get to the mixer to stop it when the power came back on and I heard a loud snap and the connect plastic had broken. It would have been nice if there was a warning in the instructions about power outages. Overall though, the ice cream maker works well. I made a no-added sugar chocolate ice cream with sugar free chocolate chips mixed in as well as a pink champagne sorbet. Both were quick and easy. Clean-up is simple. The bowl does take up a large amount of my freezer space prior to making the ice cream. My freezer is set a -1 F, so it only takes about 15 minutes to churn the ice cream.

Love this ice cream maker. Haven’t bought ice cream for so long because of all the crap ingredients that are so unhealthy. Creamy, smooth, delicious. Now going to experiment with sugar free versions. So happy with my new Kitchen Aid attachment.

It’s an ice cream maker that makes ice cream. Directions are simple and it’s easy to clean.

Works great. I had one before and had used it a lot and it eventually sprung a leak but it is still worth it to make ice cream with that is low fat and sugar free at home and no salt and ice to bother with. Hopefully this one will last longer. I put padding around it in the freezer this time

Es un producto genial, solamente que en algunos congeladores va necesitar estar más tiempo en congelación para que pueda funcionar de manera adecuada, el tiempo de elaboración de la nieve ronda en los 20 minutos.

I love this ice cream maker attachment! Its super easy to use and makes delicious churned ice cream. I found all sorts of online recipes specifically for this attachment. It is compatible with my Cuisinart stand mixer as well.

Se hacen heridos perfectos y riquísimos, sobre todo con materia prima de calidad

Love this addition to my Kitchenaid mixer. I will never buy any ice cream again. I've made peach, strawberry, blueberry, lemon, (ice cream, sorbet and gelato), Baileys, and I'm just starting. Your limited to your imagination and the number of containers I have. It's so easy to use. I freeze the container for at least two days before I want to use it. I also put my ingredients together the night before and put it in the fridge. Once I'm ready to make the ice cream, I pull out the maker from the freezer and immediately use the fridge-cold mix. My ice cream takes a lot less time than the recipe says. I should have bought this a long time ago. The ice cream is so good: no preservatives, colouring of aritifical flavours. Pure and natural. This is a great addition and works very well. No I need to buy more ice cream containers (insulated from Amazon) so that can make more varieties. Summer is coming!

Estoy muy satisfecha con este bowl mi helado esta listo en 10 minutos siempre y cuando la mezcla esté fría
