We purchased this item since we love home made ice cream, we followed the recipes provided with the attachment.  We made 2 batches of delicious ice cream, we were making our third batch of ice cream and a plastic part broke off the attachment and into the ice cream.  We couldn't finish making the ice cream and never found the little piece.  Needless to say our ice cream ended up being very expensive!    The ice cream was great, the process worked unfortunately the attachment didn't last long enough to give this product an accurate review since we only used it two times and paid full price for it.
