Works well after I tried it out. The directions do not indicate that the connection between the churn and the mixer is not a snap in, snap out connection, rather it is more of a friction connection with the churn able to break off when the ice cream has frozen enough and is thick enough to stop churning. Also, I had to get a special connector from KitchenAid (sent to me free by them) since my mixer is over 30 years old.
