This whipper is easy to use. The hardest part about it is in loading it; the instructions state to not overfill, so you must be careful to remove the same amount of cream that you will be using in liquid sweetener if you are using one of the coffee syrups. Probably won't matter if you're using Stevia powder or liquid. Our only difficulty is the size, it only lasts a couple days for desserts; we've already ordered the 1 pint. Since both use exactly one gas cartridge, the larger size will be more economical. The only other item to note is that you need to know the percent of fat in the cream you are using in order to shake it the necessary times. This can vary from brand to brand.

This whipper is flawless. The bottle is stainless steel and the top is a machined stainless steel casting. Easy to use, easy to clean and makes totally natural whipped cream if you can find heavy cream with no additives. Most heavy cream has additives but some don't. The directions are hard to understand because they weren't written by an english speaker so here are a couple tips. Do not modify the whipper, it looks like there is an extra piece on the seal, that's there for removing the seal easily for cleaning. The valve pulls straight out. Take both these things out for cleaning. I use it for chocolate whipped cream. 1/4c cocoa and 1/4c sugar. Mix them in as little cream as possible until the sugar is dissolved then add to the whipper and fill as usual with heavy cream.
