If you already have a kitchen aid and are looking for a way to make a medium-to-large batch of ice cream, this may be the attachment for you. The method is the same as the old ice cream maker I used with my grandparents except you don't need all the Ice and rock salt! The ice cream you can make at home is SSOO good. My only issue with this is how large the bowl is. Our freeze is a bit small and it is hard to find room for this bowl. 

Also, if you want really thick ice cream, make sure you have the freeze very cold and the bowl is in it for over 15 hours. If the ice cream is still a bit soft after 20 to 30min of mixing, just put it into the freezer for about 10 to 15 min. 

I also have a new pint-size ice cream maker from another brand and even though the final batch is smaller, it is easier to use. Of the two makers, the kitchen aid comes in 2nd place.
