It was given to me as a Holiday gift from my son.  I only used several times. I kept it in the original box when not in use.  A week ago, I decided to make green tea ice cream and took it out from the box, placed in a freezer over 24 hours.  When I took it out, I saw blue liquid on the side of bowl.  I thought at first that my son had placed blue colored soda in a freezer to cool it quick and leaked.  But even after wiped blue liquid it kept coming out from the seam where silver colored piece on top meets white body.  I was shocked that a product made by Kitchenaid did not last.  I will not replace ice cream maker, leaking blue coolant is common issue, I found out after reading others' complaints.
