⚠️ Cons

• Heavy at ~24 lb – The machine’s compact footprint makes lifting cumbersome .
• Driveshaft durability concerns – Some users report squeaking or skipped dashes once the mix thickens near completion.
• Texture varies with mix volume – While optimal at ~1 Qt, using the full bowl run may yield slightly coarse results.
• Price reflects features – It’s more expensive than smaller compressor models but still a cost-effective compressor option .
