I have to admit, I'm a sucker for KitchenAid attachments - anything that can let me use it more! And the shave ice attachment is so fun - my family has really enjoyed "playing" with! Overall, it is really easy to install and remove, and cleans very easily, and runs smoothly. Very straightforward to use. The shaved ice is an excellent consistency ("fluffy" for ice) and rivals our local summer shave ice shops. I live in extreme south Georgia so I know this attachment will get tons of use this summer. We can't wait to experiment with different flavors. Overall, this attachment is a nice addition to our KitchenAid and with it being run and easy to use, I confidently recommend it.
