u0026#149; Only OK ease of use.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Only OK instructions with only one recipe.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Ice cream bowl needs to be frozen prior to use.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Drive assembly connects to the dasher (paddle), then drive assembly is attached to the mixer – can be a little fiddly to align.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Hand protection may be needed due to iciness of the bowl.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Will need to refer to manual for time guides.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Messy – may push contents up over the rim for volumes great than 500mL.u003cbru003eu0026#149; No audible feedback when ice cream is ready, need to monitor ice cream throughout processing time.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Must have a compatible KitchenAid benchtop mixer.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Expensive attachment adding to a very expensive bench mixer.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Only a 1-year warranty, which suggests low manufacturer confidence in the product.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Noisy when in use.u003cbru003e
