We had my granddad's ice cream maker when I was a kid. It was already about 50 years old when I was born. The kids had to take turns sitting on it and cranking it if we wanted ice cream.

When I bought my house, my mom gave me the old Oster Kitchen Center she had when I was a kid. I found an ice cream maker attachment for it at a thrift store for $5.

It works fantastic. One neat feature about it is that it uses regular salt and ice out of the ice maker instead of rock salt and crushed ice. It also makes a fairly small amount of ice cream, which is nice because I don't want a huge amount. And it's fast enough that if I needed more than the 1qt or so that it makes, you can just make more and different flavors.

I haven't seen the Kitchenaid attachment. I have an old K5 from when they were still owned by Hobart. I'll have to check to see if it can make ice cream, too. Nice to have options.
