I usually have to pull out the blender to make a milkshake.   But this easy and nice for one single serving.   I used only the milkshake feature so far.  I don't have enough room in freezer for my pints to make the ice cream.  I've had Ninja products before but this the only one I like.   I want to purchase another outer bowl, the lid, paddle and more pints.  But they have been sold out.   If I was able to afford it.  I would get this product for a gift for someone.
