This is one awesome appliance!!  I had to alter my diet due to some health issues. I have been in heaven since I got this. I am in control of what ingredients I use. So very easy to use and clean. Instructions are easy to follow.  Possibilities are endless with what can be made.  My sugar free ice cream and milkshakes have been delicious and so easy to make.  I have not used all of the functions yet, but look forward to it.  This does not take up a lot of room on the counter either.  Very pleased and highly recommend!
