I like that the My Mug Ice Cream Maker is small and compact. It actually made more ice cream than I thought it would. It's very easy to use. You just freeze the base for 24 hours before using, then pour the ingredients into the bowl, and turn it on to churn for 20 minutes. Super simple! You can add 'add-ins' through the little slot as well. I wish it came with better recipes as it didn't include many recipes. And, you had to cook some of the ingredients before adding to the bowl. I would have preferred more recipes that did not require extra cooking.
