The Ice Crusher is easy to handle and fast to have together. The collection container made of transparent plastic is simply hooked, put the plug into the socket and away you go. The small plastic container, which serves as a cover for the ball does not sit particularly strong and is actually superfluous. The actual cover works like a trapdoor. For this trap door to some force has already spending so that it is conditionally safe. The opening of the trapdoor is indeed nice and big so you can do all the ice cubes into it, but it is so large that a child's hand can easily get inside. A self-test on my hand showed that I can reach the crusher with the middle finger relatively easy. So always nice to clear away. At idle, the ice crusher vibrating slightly and is not particularly loud. Slightly quieter than a microwave. But if you then are the ice cubes, it is quite noisy. The on-off switch is easily and clearly. The black switch is easily recognizable on the chrome finish. The design is appealing. However, any fingerprint on the chromed surface can be seen. I hardly dare to touch the Ice Crusher. The Ice Crusher is on five rubber feet that prevent slipping. That works quite well so far. The collection container is easy to clean. He has no hard-to-reach corners. Only the many chrome is more difficult to keep clean. On the whole, we are quite pleased with our purchase. There are small weaknesses, but outweigh the positive aspects.
