KitchenAidIce Cream Drive Assembly Adapter European for KICA

i live in Amman Jordan and I bought the 5KSM Artisan kitchenaid stand mixer, which has a metal round top where you place the different attachments. then i bought the KICA ice cream machine from Amazon.com, which is supposed to work on the US Kitchenaid Stand mixer (that one doesnt have a round piece of metal). The assemply drive of the american ice cream machine does not work on the European 5KSM kitchenaid stand mixer, due to this round metal top. anyway long story short, after i panicked for a while for thinknig that i purchased a very expensive ice cream maker for nothing, i went online to try to find a solution. i found this on Amazon.co.uk, ordered it. i wasnt sure if it will work but i figured it's worth a shot trying. and yes! it worked :)so if you made the same mistake as me, purchased the KICA ice cream machine from the states, (which is by the way so much cheaper!), you can still use it with your Europpean Kitchenaid stand mixer, if you have this assembly adapter.im giving it 4 stars because i feel it is not very sturdy. after i finish making the ice cream, when i wash this assemply drive, i notice that the mibble metal stick is slighty moved out of its original place. i place it back into place, but i feel that it will not last very long. but it's ok because it is a relatively inexpensive piece which i can replace easily if it it breaks. the rest of the ice cream maker (dasher and bowl) work perfectly, and i get delicious ice cream every time.

This piece makes a Ice cream maker bougth in the US work with the European Kitchen Aid, which has a slightly different fitting.

Works great!

After about the 10th use the product broke and now I'm unsure if it also caused damage to the paddle. Hard to tell. But basically I attached this as normal and turn the KA on and then it turn about 45 degrees inside the spring loaded attachment. Minus the spring capability, the device won't work.Unfortunately, I have no choice but to buy another. Feels like a scam from what is normally a solid line of products from KA.

Worked exactly as advertised.

Poor quality rubber and it can't attached securely. The rubber was detached from its plastic shell after first use. Highly overpriced. But need it only because misunderatood that KitchenAid's extensions are 'universal' product.

love it!

The attachment broke on first use. This is the third attachment I have been through, all after very limited use. It would perhaps be helpful to send the attachment with instructions?
