does it come with the head attachment or just the bowl?
" Model KSMICM Includes (1) Ice Cream Bowl (1) Dasher (1) Hub Assembly. "

The Dasher and Hub Assembly are the parts doing the mixing inside the bowl.

This is the biggest negative factor for my fam, we have used only a couple of times.
Quote :
"HOW TO SET UP YOUR STAND MIXER
STEP 1: PREP YOUR BOWL
Allow your ice cream bowl to freeze at least 15–24 hours prior to use."
... this is taken straight from the website. ( I will link below )

So my family uses 3 freezers that are always full. Inside fridge, garage fridge, small box freezer. This thing takes up a large amount of space and must be frozen ahead of time to work with most recipes. While I had hopes and dreams, we usually just don't have the spare space, unless I go shift things around a lot.

I would recommend only getting this if you have spare room for it, and can leave in your freezer space until needed.

Its not possible to burn up your mixer with this, the way the paddle attachment attaches to the head uses a friction clutch. Once the ice cream gets too thick the head will "slip" instead of trying to stir something too thick.

Dammm... You're going to pay $37.50 for this. Wait about a month for Black Friday & Woot (Amazon) or someone else will have the Ninja 11-in-1 on sale for less than $100. With the Ninja you can do 11 different ice cream/frozen treats. This does 1 (plus Ninja give you a recipe book. This doesn't). The Ninja bowls do not take up 1/2 your freezer space (who has that much space in their freezer for this). Plus, it's a bowl that ends up taking more square footage! Finally the Ninja is highly rated over this. I'd rather wait save up at most $62.49 for Ninja 11-in-1 when it swings around on sale again. But the choice is yours. Yeah, I know that you'll get more ice cream out of this, but real estate in my freezer is precious.
I bake (weekly) way more than I make ice cream (currently never). Thinking maybe I can wean my wife off exorbitantly overpriced store bought stuff, maybe? Worth $37.50 to find out. Granted, it sounds like a pain, but I bake sourdough, so I'm used to starting my prep the day before.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I have a version of this, and I used to have the ninja creami. they both require you to plan a day ahead by either freezing the bowl (KA) or freezing the batter (ninja). they both have their uses but I prefer the KitchenAid for my use case. I want ice cream, and not the healthy kind!

I don't eat a lot of ice cream in one sitting, usually just one scoop with a waffle cone which is where regular ice cream made with the KA is best for me. with the ninja creami you have to mix it with the really loud knock-off pacojet (at least twice, sometimes thrice!) and you have to eat the entire pint right then and there. otherwise you put it back in the freezer, it turns to ice again, and you have to remix it again and again if you want to eat it the next day. the texture quality decreases due to the refreeze and the diminished volume. with the KA, you churn the ice cream for 20 min and it's soft serve consistency. throw it in the freezer for a couple hours if you want solid ice cream. no fuss.

did I mention the ninja creami is so damn loud?! I live alone in a house and I still hated using it cuz it was so grating.

if you like ice cream: get the KitchenAid

if you want to turn a protein shake into a dessert that resembles ice cream: get a ninja creami

on another note, the box/label/instructions explicitly say do not use hot water or apply heat to the mixer bowl! I think mine even came with a sticker on the bowl warning me. I'd guess those that had a failure with the bowl cant read and tried to clean the frozen bowl with hot water and the thermal shock caused it to break.

it'll cost you. just the heavy cream costs more than store bought ice cream. these things are just not worth it these days.

It you already have the mixer I think this accessory is best choice to try homemade ice cream.

I have larger Cuisinart Maker that also requires freezing bowl days before and storing the base somewhere. It is annoying having yet another appliance to store but I have house with plenty of room. It was a SD from target for maybe $60? Not the recent target small one.

I use the "NY times" or slightly modified base for everything.

If you expect ice cream to eat that same hour, you need to buy a maker with cooling compressor built in for hundreds.

The ice cream base I use always has a bunch of cream and egg yolk. I store in fridge a day or two, then mix in that frozen bowl.

Then put in freezer. It is pretty much ready to eat a few hours after that initial two day prep. Soft firmin maybe 30 min in freezer.

Lower expectations on speed but you control everything. You can get expensive cream and milk without carrigeen or thinkener or Costco low cost cream and milk.

Overall homemade is double good store ice cream I think.

You can skip steps and it tastes excellent but not as good. Really I break up the steps when doing other cooking. My ice cream was just for a treat and I was caring for sick people where I wanted to sneak in more calories.

6 yolk in a QT along with all cream no milk was something store ice cream wouldn't give me.

Experiment have fun and then give the bowl away to another family if you're sick of it.

Maple ice cream, coffee, vanilla and strawberry are the easiest I think. Lidil has often strawberry 75% fruit spread on sale. Dump few tablespoons in the mix the last 10-15 min to vanilla base and it's a winner

I own both products and have to say this is good advice. Arguably if you get a Ninja from Costco or Sam's you get more bowls and if you are really extreme would have as much space taken up in the freezer. The advantage for Ninja is time in terms of flexibility to quickly make batches of different ice cream and the hassle of waiting for the KitchenAid to do its thing. The KitchenAid is also such a chore to clean as it is not dishwasher safe. I don't even know where our KitchenAid bowl has gone too it has been so long since we have used it. In terms of durability our KitchenAid bowl has been going on at least 15 years without any cracks or leaks. I believe that was in the era of very high quality KitchenAid products. I'm not sure if that is the case these days though...

Amazon reviews for durability are awful with people reporting it cracks after a few uses.
Is that for the refurbished listing? Just curious if maybe the refurbishing process is weak. My bowl has held up so far through like a dozen batches of ice cream. Nothing about it screams 'this looks like it's going to crack' so I'm surprised by this.

It shouldn't burn it out. If it does it's probably just the cheap plastic gears that need replacing. Mine sound like they're on their way out. As far as the ice cream is concerned, the paddle is built to 'slip' when it's too thick to mix anymore. It's the slipping action that tells you it's done. It shouldn't be locking up and burning out any motors.

This is about as basic a vanilla ice cream recipe as it gets: https://www.loveandlemons.com/hom...am-recipe/ Good for a first time batch. You don't have to pre-chill the ingredients like they say but it does help. If you want to add anything to it like cookies or chocolate chips or whatever, you do it at least half way through the cycle or even 3/4 of the way through it to make sure they don't settle in the bottom. If you want to up the creamy game, look into vanilla ice cream recipe's with eggs (custard). So good.

Reading these comments is wild. The Ninja doesn't make ice cream. It shaves a block of frozen mixture into an ice cream like dessert. There is a difference.
If you buy something and it's leaking blue fluid and you don't immediately clock that as a failed unit and contact the manufacturer, that's kind of a you thing.
Making your own ice cream will not save you money

You can make delicious home made ice cream without unnecessary:
• Corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup (cheap sweeteners that replace sugar)
• Artificial flavors instead of real vanilla or natural flavorings
• Thickeners and stabilizers like guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, locust bean gum, tara gum, cellulose gum, and carob bean gum (added to improve texture but not natural)
• Artificial colors like Red 40, Blue 1, and Yellow 5 (not natural and sometimes linked to health concerns)
• Whey, skim milk instead of cream, and other fillers reducing creaminess
• Chemical additives like monocalcium phosphate or polydextrose which are emulsifiers or stabilizers with questionable health effects
