Be sure to check around for the best price on the attachments as there
seems to be quite a bit of variation. The grinder can usually be found
for about $40 and the ice cream maker has been seen as low as $50.

The ice cream maker works well and is quite handy if you store the bowl
in your freezer so it's always ready to do a quick frozen dessert.
