I can not wait to take this with me everywhere this summer! It's so easy and intuitive to use. You add ice to the top chamber and liquid to the bottom chamber and press the button. In 90 seconds you have a perfectly prepared frozen drink! The ice is finely shaved and the perfect consistency. It didn't take quite two hours to charge and the battery is still showing a full charge after making six batches of drinks! It comes apart easily to clean and came with a simple dust bag for storage. And best of all, there are no glass pieces so it's safe to take poolside or on the go.
