It didn't have the retro flair of a real deal SA, but the mechanical aspect was seemingly identical and the capacity looked substantial. It was all chrome, so it had a distinct restaurant equipment look. I didn't need one, so I failed to check the price...sorry. I'd say the only shortcomings were the somewhat flimsy feel of the attachment via a rivet of the rotating knob on the handle, and the silly doll sized plastic "ice scoop" that was included. I figure that the knob could be reattached easily enough via a bolt and nut should it break, and the scoop can be used for....hmmm...well, the scoop is useless. So if you happen to need a hand crank ice crusher, World Market has stores in your city, and the price is right, this might be your ticket. FYI, AHU
