I waited for what seemed the longest 6 days in history for this machine to arrive on my door step!Let me tell you, it was worth it!We have been making drinks ALL weekend long.it is soooo easy to use,just add mixer and ice.Then flip the toggle switch,it does everything else and fast too!These are not a poor imitation,they are reasturant quality!perfectly smooth and thich,and ooh so delicious!!!!!  If you buy one thing to enjoy your summer this year,make this your IT!!!!
