Cost and amount of use. If I end up making lots of ice cream I will get a self freezing one. However I have a large cabinet freezer so it’s not a problem to just leave the bowl in there.
Also I managed to find the kitchen aid one at half price so it really wasn’t a relatively big outlay.

I bought a self-chill version and if space allows I would recommend it. Most of the time I make 2/3 x a recipe which wouldn't really be possible in a pre-freeze bowl.

the quality of the ice cream more than anything else.
Getting enough air into it is one of the biggest things that impacts the quality imo.

If you need a pre-freeze kitchenaid, I have one for sells. We just don't use it.

@hamrack
Has anyone played with enough different ice cream makers to have useful opinions?
My wife has dropped hints and I'm wondering whether to get the pre-freeze bowl for our Kenwood, or to get a self-chilling one. Obvs there's a price difference, but I'm wondering about the quality of the ice cream more than anything else.
@dancing james I can see you've played with a pre-freeze in your KitchenAid, what was your reasoning for not getting a self-chill?
