The device works quickly, relatively quiet and clean, with little vibration. So it does not shake around at the table or even fall down.
Earnings / ice is however too fine. That is ideal for Frozen Daiquiris (favorite drink my girlfriend) but for caipirinhas or mojitos (my first choice) unsuitable because of Cockteil then diluted very quickly.
For the latter, a hand-Crusher is definitely the best solution.
The price is a bit steep but who takes the time comes maybe somewhere else still on the same product ...
Conclusion: who likes to drink Frozen Daiquiris / martinis can hereby save a lot of work. All others I rate: Next stimulate ;-)
