Is this mini model suitable for a family of six? Thanks.

It would serve enough to top six desserts pretty easily. But it really is easy enough to make more if needed.

It's the size I would purchase. You may have to refill it more often, but I like having the cream fresher as opposed to sitting in the unit for too many days. I think (from the reviews) that there is more waste with the larger unit. Please see my review for lots of tips. Enjoy! Barb Z

I use it consistantly with 6-8 kids, ages 3-6. I wouldn't use it with less than 6 and no more than 12. I think it has 8 or 10 handles. It works great, and we haven't had any problems. We have used it with groups of eight 7-9year olds as well, which has worked great too.

Sorry if this is a late response. We did not upgrade to a maxi (for our older kids) but we had the mini scooter from the time my youngest was 3 and it's been fine for her up until now and she's 5.5. So as long as you're okay with buying another one in a couple of years, it should be fine. We were/are very happy with the quality of the product and a friend wants to buy the scooter off me when my daughter's done because her nephew 1.5 yoa really enjoyed playing on it when we were at the park.

The Mini is a small size. And no, a dinner plate would not fit. I had to buy 6 inch pyrex dishes so I could use the Mini for some recipes. However, since I am cooking just for one person, this is okay for me. I like the Mini but it probably is not suitable for a family. Keep in mind that if any plate (or other dish) is not "oven safe" I believe it should not be used.

It is in our family and we have some pretty tall people. With the exception of a full sized pool table, this particular model it the next best thing. It has been satisfactory for our family in every way.

Yes, I think it is suitable for a 6 year old. My nephews are almost 4 and play with it daily. There are features on it that all little boys would enjoy playing with.

I hot it for my son who was turning 6. There is plenty of room to adjust the bar when he gets taller. The platform is also much larger than the micro mini. I even got on it myself and ride around the house after assembling it. Very easy to ride.

Yes. I had 4 toddlers in at once playing. 2 older kids would have plenty of room.

For speed yes, but I think the mini would be too small in size for him/her. It's a perfect fit for my 6 year old son.

I have a family of 5 and found the 6 quart to be a great size. Slow cookers are supposed to be at least half full to work properly so any bigger is overkill for most and any smaller....you run the risk of not having the space you need for a batch large enough to have leftovers! This is a great slow cooker!

The 6qt is a good size and it does feed a family of 4. I have one and I always have left over after everybody finished eating their food.

It would work for a six year old but they may think its a little babyish. I would say more 2-5. It's made real bulky to stand up to a little one.

I would say you could comfortably fit 4 2-4 year olds and squeeze in 6 2 year olds. 6 4 year olds would not fit unless they were unusually small. This is a good size table for my 1, 2 and 5 year old and one or two of their buddies. More than that gets a bit crowded unless you pull up kid sized chairs to the ends.

It comes with a few family members. T Hey are small but not tiny. I bought it for my 6 year old and her little sister was 2. I wasn't worried about her putting pieces in her mouth.

We've had 4 units going with no trouble, so 6 should work. Keep in mind it only has 3 speaking channels, though, so each unit won't be able to have its own dedicated channel.

It's a mini, but I can't imagine having one any bigger than this! Both the mini and the regular carry up to the same recommended age/weight. This one is easy to put together and it's easy to move around the house (it's very lightweight)! HTH

I have a small family, smaller seemed like enough. If I was needing a lot or going to use it more often I would get a bigger one. You don't have to fill it.
