We have been so pleased w/ the KitchenAid Ice-Cream Maker Attachment! We stopped buying ice-cream from the store due to the high level of preservatives and junk they put in ice-cream these days. We were able to make some fantastic Vanilla Ice-Cream using real milk and simple ingredients. My only reservation would be to warn new users, you MUST have the paddle rotating prior to adding your ice-cream mix. If you pour in your mixture and then start the paddle, it will shear off the plastic shaft that presses against the metal motor shaft. Other than that, fantastic and quality product.
