Compact enough to store large capacity and yet once mounted. The juice collecting container is handy for making miso soup full of vitamins after cooking vegetables. The design is very nice with games of lights that dazzle as much to children. A beep warned us when cooking is completed. I find no downside to this product. Just be careful that the scale is not deposited and removed after each use. I recommend this product to everyone who want to eat healthy and balanced.
