Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker VS KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment??

I'm undecided? Anyone??

Having another machine instead of just an attachment doesn't really bother me. I just want to make sure I get the better one.

Pros? Cons?

I've been reading reviews for these 2.

So far, what I've found out is that most people buy the KitchenAid attachment instead of the Cuisinart because they do not want another machine, while others who chooses the Cuisinart because it is way cheaper than the Kitchenaid.

I read a review stating that the KA actually forms some icy bits at the sides of the ice cream after a few days because the paddle churns not the bowl, while the Cuisinart, the bowl churns/turns, therefore, no icy bits forming. Is this true? Can anyone confirm?

Both bowls needs to be in the freezer 24hours before using it.
Both as noisy.
Both bowls makes 1.5ltrs of ice cream.
Both are reputable brands.

Still caught in the middle....
