This is a great tool for quickly mixing suspensions or colloids like paint. It's also great for combining liquids of different viscosities like when you're making fragrances.It is relatively quiet and I had no problems with the machine "walking" along my countertop even though I did not use the adhesive to permanently stick it in place. In fact, the hardest part about operating this mixer was finding the right type of container to use with it.There are three different bases that can be used, ranging from the typical "push to mix" inverted cone (paraboloid?) to a foam test tube holder thingy. There's even a small rubber platform for gently mixing flat bottomed containers like flasks. That one only works with very slow speeds, though (ask me how I know).This is a great complement to a magnetic stirrer. Where one falls short, the other excels. Great product.

Amazing Vortex mixer. It comes with everything you need to get your mixing on especially if you're into miniature painting. It comes with with enough attachments to get you going regardless of your purpose is, it will mix it well!.The motor seems powerful and responsive, make sure to remove the plastic coving the feet to keep it from sliding around while operational, some people that reviewed this must of skipped that part.For the price this is a nice deal, the size and quality along with the ease of use (a simple dial) makes it a great investment.

This is a nicely built vortex mixer that is similar to the kind I've used in a lab, with a nice big display and an easy touch function. The feet are adhesive and stick well, though it will shake the whole counter if it's not secure like a lab bench. One reviewer mentioned suction feet, which I think might be because he did not take off the stickers. He might have also received a slightly different version than mine.The continuous mode is poorly documented. I was hoping to set a low RPM speed for gentle overnight runs, but it shuts off after around 1.5 hours even if I set the time to zero. The manual, which is a bit in Engrish territory, is vague and says continuous mode works for a "very long time." Also, this mode aborts early at max RPMs, which I think can happen when it never really gets up to speed and it just gives up. This is preferable to overheating and damaging the motor, but I wish it gave some indication if that is the reason.The little top shelf for continuous mode is also a little confusing. It has a rubber top, which can't be used with a thumb screw to hold it in place since the thumb screw only works with the foam test tube holder. That tube holder started to spin on me without the rubber to prevent that, so I just did not use the thumb screw. I ended up 3D printing a holder for my bottles of shellac based stain.Despite my critiques, the mixer is quiet and does a great job mixing stubborn gelatinized shellac. I am happy with it overall.

So far, no complaints. I bought this to mix old modeling paints, which had been sitting for three years. For single bottles, it works perfectly out of the box.It will take some customization if you want to use the foam insert to mix up to nine at a time, but it can be done.

I am using this machine as a paint shaker. From big spray cans to small bottles of Vallejo this super heavy duty machine will do it. It's not as super fast as some of the lightweight cheap machines - but it stays put and works great. RPM isn't everything! Don't spend money on anything else for mixing ANY kind of hobby or spray paints. The speed makes it much less hard on your wrist if you have problems with your wrist as well. The cheap "vortex mixers" are so violent they are almost painful for me to use. This is a no brainer for hobbyists.UPDATE- This mixer is HEAVY. As a result, if your partner pushes it off the table (by accident of course) it will land on the exact spot where the DC cord connects and the connection will be destroyed. For this reason I'd like to add that a permanent DC connection on a machine of this quality would be better. The power supply and it's connection is really not up to the rest of the machine. Clearly this was user error but the entire machine is dead.
