The unit is super small, it does not take up space when storing. In a jiffy he is on, very easy to use (one drink at adequate dosage is provided to power the mini tank water, a power button and another for metering the type of cooking between "shell", " calf "and" hard ") and very convenient since it no longer has to worry about managing the cooking like boiling water. A beep sounds when the cooking is completed. I recommend!
