Rated 2 out of 5 by GrammaJane from Frustrated as leaking blue liquid I bought this either last summer or the summer before and I store it in the original box when not in use during the cooler months. I just took it out of the box and put it in the freezer to use. I had not gotten a chance to use it and needed the space in the freezer so sat it on the counter and as it thawed, it leaked blue liquid all over the place and continues to do so. I appears to have a crack on one of the side ear pieces. I have probably only use this 3-5 times. I loved it when it worked. Definitely not up to the KitchenAid standard I have grown to love.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rockymtnmare from Very disappointed I bought the product and was so excited about being able to make home made ice cream. Purchased all of the ingredients and premixed them according to the directions. Placed the bowl in the deep freezer for 16 hours. My daughter and grandchildren came to help make ice cream. And there we are! No ice cream because despite the label on the box which says, "fits all Kitchenaid stand mixers" it does not fit mine. I have that particular model which requires a different maker. I am so unhappy and feel like the product was misrepresented! Now I am out the money and my big question is, do I dare try any more of the attachments?!?! Buyer beware!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sad Ice Cream Lover from Blue liquid leaks out I've had my ice cream maker for a little over a year and used it about 5 times. It is now leaking blue fluid. When chatting with support the only way to get this fixed is to have all kinds of information. I don't still have the receipt so I've been told nothing can be done. Disappointed as I love to cook and had high thoughts of KitchenAid products.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Zendini from Versatile I purchased my ice cream maker in August as a birthday gift to myself, but I was rather disappointed when the sealed box was missing the Dasher attachment. As a result I couldn't make my planned birthday ice cream cake. I called and the sent a replacement which arrived after a month. I froze my bowl over night and tested using the recipe provided for the vanilla ice cream in the book however it didn't set as I expected. So I cleaned the bowl left it in the freezer for 3 days and made a batch of my rasberry cheesecake ice cream and it came out like a dream. I made by strawberry margarita sorbet and had great results. I would suggest keeping it in the freezer at all times or at least 24 hours as the gel between the Chambers need to setup. This weekend I'm testing my coconut froyo so I'll give an update

Rated 1 out of 5 by gwshaver from Poor Design I bought the ice cream attachment a few years ago, however I only use it one or two times a year. Recently, I put the attachment in the freezer to "pre-chill" befor using and 24 hour later I found it to be leaking a blue-colored liquid out of a small area near the top of the attachment. The liquid leaked onto the floor of the freezer (see photo). I did go ahead and use it, (and it works fine) but it continues to leak. After reading others' reviews, this appears to be a known problem with these attachments, and hopefully this design has been corrected. While I love my KA stand mixer and other attachements, this one is a dud. I would not recommend purchasing this unless I had assurance that this leaking issue has been addressed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Eb3082 from Great product except.... We purchased this bowl a couple of years ago and have used it several times and loved it but we just pulled it out to freeze it and we found a blue puddle. Would love to recommend this product but unfortunately I can’t. I can’t even say we got our moneys worth out of it because of the price and the fact that we weren’t even able to use it enough times to make it worth the purchase.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Sbrazill from Leaked Blue Fluid I only used my ice cream maker 5-10 times before it leaked blue fluid all over my freezer and food in my freezer. There are no visible cracks or damages so I can't even tell where it is coming from. This seems to be a common issues and there is complaint after complaint of other ice cream makers leaking fluid after only a few uses. When I emailed customer service they only offered me 20% off of a new one. I don't think this is fair considering this is a manufacturer problem that many people are having. This is not the quality or customer service I expect from KitchenAid and I will be purchasing a different brand of ice cream maker to replace this one.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Monica from Poor technical design I love my KitchenAid and I am satisfied with the other attachments I have, but I would give ZERO stars to the ice-cream attachment. Mine has been bought one year ago, and has been used maybe ten times. During the ice-cream making phase, there is heat dispersion in all directions, because the plastic cover won't fit and there's no insulation anywhere. As a result, the ice-cream is not properly churned, and it has to be put into the freezer only half-done and then it turns out all ice. This is all the more evident if you use another recipe for ice cream, not the ones given with the attachment. Very poor technical design. I'm buying a dedicated ice-cream maker.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Katelyn from Great product, but began leaking I received my favorite wedding gift a couple of months ago, and have made ice cream 4 times. It works very well, churning to the perfect consistency, but the last time I put the bowl in the freezer, I found a puddle of blue liquid around it. It has been leaking, even though I can't find a crack or the source of the leak. I'm very disappointed that this happened, but have otherwise been happy with the product. I'm assuming if it is leaking, that it will not be safe to use, or as effective. As many other customers appear to be having the same problem, I'm hesitant to replace my current bowl with another KitchenAid, though I doubt another company will make such an efficient product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Surprised from Good design but tolerances aren't good enough Have had this for a few years with mixed results. If you watch the mixture as its churning, you will see a build of frozen ice cream on the wall of the maker about 1/16" thick. Instead of scraping the frozen ice cream off of the side of the bowl it's just kind of swishing the mixture around the bowl. The frozen wall of the bowl is insulated by the thin layer of ice cream. After doing this for 30 minutes you get a thawed out bowl and a semi liquid ice cream solution that you have to freeze for another 4 hours to get hard. This should never have been released for sale. Surprised kitchenaid wouldn't have more thoroughly tested this before putting their name on it. I thought they were better than that.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lisa L from Disappointing This ice cream maker worked well enough at first, but small droplets of blue fluid started leaking out after a couple months. Since it was only a few drops, I didn't think too much of it at the time and put the ice cream maker away in a cabinet. However, when I picked up the ice cream maker today, it was sitting in a puddle of blue fluid. As it seems that nearly half of the coolant is now gone, I doubt it will work anymore. Its disappointing that the design of the ice cream maker is so flawed, especially since I love my kitchenaid mixer and other attachments. Unfortunately for me its also well past the warranty period.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coopdy from Excellent Customer Service Like most reviewers, I had the same problem with the leaking blue liquid. I wrote a review to communicate my disappointment with the product. Within less than 24 hours I was contacted my a customer service representative and a replacement unit was in the mail. I selected five starts above to even out the 1 star I had previously rated the product, but also to ccoiunt for the level of service that KitchenAid provides to its customers.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rebecca from No design change in ice cream attachment After reading unfavorable reviews about the ice cream attachment, I contacted customer service to inquire if the leaking blue fluid problem had been resolved. I was told that possible reasons for the leak were dropping the product or frozen product in the consumers freezer falling on the ice cream maker and damaging it. There has been no change in the product design so if it happens they will replace during warranty other than that you are on your own. I was ready to purchase two ice cream attachments but have decided against it. I am a very long time Kitchenaide customer - I expect better from them. What a disappointment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Slice of Bliss from Far better than expected I was a bit hesitant at first, but I got a great deal on it and decided I had to try it for myself. I like the design, no metal to rust out like my old ice cream makers. I am a pastry chef and own 3 different models of Kitchenaid stand mixers spanning over a decade between them and this fits them all perfectly. From the tilt up model I first bought in 2000 to the 6qt professional model I got in early 2017. I personally would prefer a model that plugs in to chill, but I know this isn't likely possible, so the self cooling option that this offers is still amazing. All the ice and salt I've wasted over the years, which inevitably damages the equipment and forces me to buy more has always annoyed me. I've had nothing leak on me thus far, but I will remain on watch for that. As for the actual operation, simple. It makes ice cream. Reliable and simple, I've no need to worry over temperature or leave it sitting outdoors or in a bathtub like traditional ice cream makers. The best thing I can offer is the same advice I give to the newer cooks in my kitchen. Treat your equipment with respect and it will last.

Rated 1 out of 5 by PurpleKitty from Does NOT fit all Stand Mixers i purchased this so my daughter (13) and I could make ice cream, on the box it states that it fits ALL KitchenAid Stand Mixers, well my daughter and i finally found time to make ice cream and to our disappointment it does NOT fit on our KitchenAid mixer. I cant even take it back because I bought it in the states while visiting a friend. So not only did we have to figure out what to do with the mixed ingredients bit now i cant even use the ice cream maker......also i cant buy any other extra bowls so my mixer is also a disappointment! NOT HAPPY

I made my first ice cream yesterday and it was delicious, really good quality. I think some people dont like it only because they dont have good recipes! But I have a lot of easy and good quality recipes and this machine give a really good texture... love it!!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mary from Very Disappointed I've had my kitchenaid stand mixer for almost 35 year and it is wonderful! Most of the attachments that I have collected have been fantastic. However the ice cream maker is a very big disappointment. The part the connects the paddle to the mixer does not stay connected well during the freezing process plus it does not freeze the ice cream well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Char from Makes delicious Ice Cream I purchased the Ice cream maker last month for my Kitchenaid stand mixer. So far I made fabulous creamy vanilla and chocolate Ice cream. I loved the idea of making fresh homemade Ice cream for my family, including, adding fruit into the mix-- strawberries, raspberries, peaches or in the summer I grow blackberries will make it even better!! Kitchenaid makes durable products which I recently also purchased food grinder and the rotor slicer/shredder attachments for my 6 qt. stand mixer which I had for many years. I'm very pleased I purchased all of them making it faster to make any meals and I find I can attach them to my mixer very easily.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Pookie72 from 2 months and having to replace it already I purchased this on 5/31/2014, it is now 7/31/2014 and it's leaking the blue liquid freeze solution from the bowl. I have used it a total of 3 times, following the directions, chilling the mixture for 8 hrs, placing the bowl upright in the freezer, etc. Upon researching this problem further, via the "interwebs", I noticed a lot of your customers are having this same issue. Why? Is this a defect that has never been looked into? I am grateful for your 1 year warranty and hassle-free replacement program but if this is a continuing problem, where does that leave me a year from now? I don't know if it's worth it.

Rated 2 out of 5 by MP from Great while it lasted.... I too experienced the 'blue goo' - so disappointed! I used this only a couple times and hand washed it and stored it very carefully. Overtime something must have happened because one day I opened the cupboard and the maker had cracked and the blue goo leaked EVERYWHERE - I now have a permanent blue stain in my cupboard. The bowl now has a full crack around it and has split horizontally. Still need to try and talk to customer service about this - they need to fix this because it's clearly a product glitch not user error! Very sad it only lasted a few times for the price and I expected a high quality product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by SuzanneH from Disappointing Blue Leak I used a KitchenAid Mixer for over 40 years. I updated our original mixer only to change the color since the original still worked perfectly. I have several attachments and love all of them. KichenAid has sold quality long lasting products until this ice cream maker.The ice cream maker made wonderful ice cream until it started leaking blue liquid. I am so disappointed. It seems to be a fatal design flaw that many people have experienced.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DianaT from Blue liquid! :-( Like many of the reviewers here, we were given the ice cream attachment when we were living in Europe (we moved back to Canada last year), for use with our Artisan Kitchenaid. It worked well for about 18 months and then leaked blue liquid all over the freezer, so we couldn't use it and we had to throw out the rest of the food in the freezer. As much as we enjoyed the homemade ice cream and sorbets, we could not recommend this product. I actually found these other reviews when I searched to see if I could buy another one online. Clearly the blue liquid experience is not unique, so I won't be reinvesting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tbowie3 from Great Culinary Toy I received my ice cream maker at Christmas and I just used it this past Mother's Day weekend, because I wanted to make my mother a quart of caramel ice cream. The process was simple and easy, because I keep my bowl in the freezer at all times (remember for the ice cream to set and mix appropriately, that the bowl must remain in the freezer for 15 hours). Initially, I had difficulty with attaching the spring, but after viewing a short YouTube clip, I was good to go! This is a great gadget for making quick homemade treats. I am so excited that the weather is warm because I am putting this thing to work! Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream...here I come!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Frustrated in Texas from Was sent a Replacement and IT LEAKS!!!! I was sent a replacement, and guess what? Yep, it sprung a leak in the exact same place as the first one. Followed instructions both times. This last one I was only able to use one time before it failed. STAY AWAY! STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! There are far better products out there. THIS IS GARBAGE!!!!!!! Had to put 3000 glue over spot to stop leak but it cannot be refrozen or used.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Megan B. from Leaks Blue Fluid Very sad about our ice cream maker. We received it as a wedding gift but after only 3 uses, it started to leak the blue fluid. We tried to use it one more time, but we just couldn’t control the leaking. 100 dollar price tag and 4 years = very expensive ice cream.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bernadette M from Leaks blue liquid I put the bowl in my freezer Thursday evening and used the mixer Saturday afternoon. There was blue liquid on the outside of it, so I wiped it off and made my ice cream thinking it would be okay. The ice cream froze nicely, but more blue stuff leaked out while I was pouring the ice cream into the container. Some dripped into my ice cream. I think I scooped out all the blue drips. Is the blue liquid poisonous?! The ice cream maker works great, but after reading the reviews, I'm going to buy another brand or make it using Ziploc bags, ice, and rock salt. ( the cheap method that works great!)
