Nice size as it isn't much bigger than a coffee maker & components are top shelf dishwasher safe - except for the base. It comes with easy to follow recipes that taste better than most store bought ice creams, sorbet's and shakes.  The only downside for me is waiting 24 hours to eat it, by then that craving is gone. If you're adding strawberries, mango, blackberries, etc make sure they're sliced & frozen before adding to the CREAMi.  It's super easy to use and being a huge fan of Ninja products I love that this is a part of my kitchen now!!
