KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment - KSMICM

I got this attachment free with my standmixer years ago. I've tested it extensively and I can say with confidence that it's really not very good. It needs to chill in the freezer overnight before it can be used, so it's not very practical. Additionally, the bowl is quite large, so you need to actually have space in your freezer to store it. Finally, it doesn't stay cold for long enough to make icecream on a warm day. I got to the point where I'd put icepacks around my already prefrozen ice cream bowl attachment, covered all of that in foil and teatowls to help with insulation, plus I turn on the aircon. After all of that work, I can successfully make a batch of icecream before the icecream attachment becomes too warm. Trust me when I say I really tried with this attachment, but it really is poorly designed and not functional. I'd recommend just getting a purpose built icecream maker instead, it'll be the same price and you'll have better quality icecream and gelato with far less hassle.

Takes 2 days to fully freeze. Ice cream is gummy. Cannot return because I used it already. Buy an actual ice cream maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I.l9ve the creaminess of the icecream, it is beautiful and I know it's healthy good for the whole family

Workds great but sadly, I have only used it 5 times and the bowl cracked. It says to store it in the freezer so I do and when I was using it the stuff started leaking out. It was a gift and is only a year old.

Use ice cream bowl once and now it is cracked and leaking fluid.

Easiest way to make homemade ice cream. Many recipes available. Easy to make & delicious.

Apparently there isn't an attachment for and Ice cream maker for our mixer. We had to return it.

Love how easy this makes ice cream. It's a little messy when you empty the bowl to pack the ice cream, but who cares....licking the beater and bowl on this is yum yum yummy! Highly recommend if you have a KitchenAid mixer. (Note3: You will need to store the bowl in the freezer in between uses)

This is the best ice cream maker attachment! Love it. Perfect ice cream, easy clean up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the KitchenAid Ice Cream Bowl Attachment! It is so easy to use and makes beautifully smooth, creamy ice cream and gelato at home. The attachment fits perfectly onto the stand mixer and the whole process is simple from start to finish. The results have been fantastic — the ice cream comes out with a lovely texture and it is great being able to control exactly what ingredients go into it. It is also really versatile for making sorbet, gelato and frozen desserts. If you already own a KitchenAid stand mixer and enjoy making homemade treats, this attachment is definitely worth having. Excellent quality, easy to use and produces delicious results every time. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works amazingly. I’ve wanted to buy this for ever and turn custard into ice-cream. Delicious and super easy to use and follow instructions.

It doesn't get cold enough to make ice cream, everything else in the freezer is hard as a rock.

This is awesome. If you have room just always keep it in the freezer. I put my freezer to -6*F that’s the lowest she goes lol I have put yogurt into it, made some amazing vanilla ice cream, and one of the absolute best ones I’ve done is the coffee ice cream. I also put some rum into a blender with pineapple and coconut cream then put that into it as well! (That is dangerous be careful lol) In 30 mins you have a nice soft serve, and let it be in the freezer (after removing it from the bowl first of course) and you have ice cream. I hope it continues to be good since I’ve had it for about a month only?

Love our ice cream attachment. Cantelope sorbet is our favorite so far.

I used my new ice cream maker attachment for the first time yesterday. It worked great and the ice cream turned out so good. BUT we cannot remove the bowl from the Kitchenaid! We've tryed everything and it won't budge. I'd really like to see Kitchenaid step up and address this problem, because evidently we're not the only ones experiencing this!

Works great! Super easy and user-friendly. Makes the perfect amount of icecream in just a few short minutes. Easy to clean and doesn't take up too much space in the freezer.

A bit of a learning curve, but works as intended. I made gelato, ice cream and sorbet.

I own the previous version of this and only used it about 5 times. While it worked well, it didn't last. Today I found that all of the goo had leaked out and I spent a long time cleaning the cabinet, all of the other items and then throwing away the bowl. Regular soap and water didn't remove all of the stickiness so I used a cleaning product. I took very good care of this and was very careful when washing. It was safely stored in a cabinet. Very disappointed.

Love that I don’t have to have another piece of equipment taking up space. Also I can control the speed. Works great!

This ice cream maker is an easy way to make delicious ice cream with the fresh ingredients of your choice. Many recipes are available online
