This "on the go" is huge, compared to a standard large drinking cup, it is twice as tall and wide but it is so worth it. Low noise, great quality, and super fast at shaving ice. I have made slushies, chocolate shakes, margaritas, and frozen jack and coke. Battery has lasted this whole time so far. Only struggle was the button and how many pushes for each amount of ice wanted but once you figure it out and have some patience then it is fantastic. Great for backyard cookouts, late night party, and family slushie days.
