I bought this about 2 years ago. I was very happy with this...I guess I still am. It works really well and I love making ice cream, actually I bought the Artisan mixer because I want to make ice cream with this attachment. But after 2 years, its days finally come to an end. Last week, after 2 months since the last time I used it...my wife started noticing there was a blue liquid leaking at one side of the bowl.Then I saw that there was actually a horizontal crack close to the "ear" of the bowl. I don't know what I should do, so I sent a mail to the Kitchenaid office in Missisauga, ON, Canada and now I'm still waiting what can I do to fix it or whether they would do anything about it (if I'm lucky enough). Hopefully my love story with this ice cream maker ends in a happy ending.
