Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Regarding Leaking Blue Liquid Reports: I had some concerns about purchasing this item due to the high number of reports on numerous websites that the blue liquid leaks. I contacted KitchenAid in the first week of February 2016 before purchasing the item and they stated there were no reports of product issues and therefore, no intent to change the design. I just shook my head in disbelief. By chance, that night I saw a review on a huge home improvement retailer website addressing this issue and a representative from KitchenAid responded and stated that the product had been redesigned. When I forwarded this information to the KitchenAid rep, they actually looked into it and stated "oh right, there was an issue, and it has been redesigned." So those who have this concern, it has reportedly been fixed. My only concern remains in whether I have received a new redesigned item versus an old one.... that issue, and the price dropping 20% one night, is why I decided to purchase it from Amazon. I figured the high volume of sales would make it more likely that I had received a newer product. As for the product, I have used it one since I received it four days ago. I bought it because I don't like how the majority of the ice cream has corn syrup in it... I want natural pure ice CREAM. There's nothing more gross to me than when ice cream melts into a puddle of syrupy looking goop that is not cream or milk. After hours upon hours of researching my first recipe, I decided upon a cheesecake based ice cream with peanut butter fudge brownies & peanut butter ripple mixed in... It froze SO fast and hard that I actually had to let it soften before I could hand mix the add-ins into the ice cream base. Next time, I know to add them much earlier in the freezing process. The quality of the ice cream was very high: very rich, thick, creamy and delicious. But too rich for me... I think my next batch will be frozen yogurt (along the lines of Ben & Jerry's raspberry with fudge chips) or sorbet.
