fun and easy to use. A great way to stop buying 6 different kinds of ice cream and having too much of it in the freezer. Choose or invent your own flavor -- make 4 servings to enjoy, make some if in a a new flavor.
It is definitely not compact. It's about the size of a Ninja blender. However, it should fit on under cabinet counter space. Mine was refurbished so it didn't come with the manual but that was easily downloaded from the Ninja site . I made a Snickers creamy Italian ice for my first attempt. The Creami is very easy to use and dishwasher top rack safe. My creation came out delicious. I'm looking forward to more experimentation as well as some classics. Some people complained that the unit was loud. I didn't find it any louder than a good heavy duty blender. Refurbished was a good deal , making this product more budget friendly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Item works and glad it has warranty but seems to be a common problem if you leave the Deluxe plugged in it does not turn back on through the power button, Need to fully replug it into the wall, Small inconvenience but other than that it works great and the larger pints are sweet!
