Once I got the hang of how it works, the bottle top needs to be centered and even pressure applied. It doesn't take much you just hold it there and the machine does the mixing. This is nice to have, so you know your inks are well mixed a ready to go. Some inks separate more than others and it's also good for mixing colors. Not expensive and a good tool to have in your shop. Just plug it in and go. It has suction cups on the bottom, so it doesn't slide around while operating. It's not loud, of course it does make some noise, but no annoying. It is small, so you can put it in a go bag if you want to take it with you.

This is extremely good for mixing up your pigments without the mess. Just plug it in and press the closed ink container to the silicone part and thats it. If it happens to get ink on it cleaning it is a simple task. It's quite nice in quality and at a great price. 5 stars for the type of product it is! I hope this review helps and thank you for taking the time tor read it. Should anything notable happen while I use this product I'll update my review for you here. Thank you!

I'm reviewing KVM Mini Vortex Mixer, Powerful Swirl Shake Mixer for Acrylic Pigments.I ordered this to use in my art studio for mica sprays. I have issues with the mica powder settling and getting stuck on the bottom of the bottles. This mixer did a nice job thoroughly mixing the stuck mica into the liquid (see photos) I shook several bottles of different colors, and it took between 50 and 90 seconds to completely loosen and blend the mica. I also timed how long it took to mix in the mica the traditional way of shaking by hand. It really didn't take any less time to use the mixer than shaking by hand, but it is easier on my arm and wrist which is a nice benefit; however, I did expect it to shorten the mixing time (reflected in star rating). The description says it will mix liquids in less than 3 seconds but it took much longer for my mica sprays.I will note that it works better by placing the top of the bottle into the vortex. I tried it both ways and upside down is better than putting the bottom of the bottle where the mica is into the silicone shaker.It requires being plugged in during use, and the required power cord is included. The suction cups on the bottom are adequate to hold it in place during use.There is no on or off button. The shaker automatically starts when you place the bottle top into the silicone section with moderate pressure. As with all electronics, I unplug the unit when not in use.I find the current price of $13.99 after applying coupons to be reasonable.As a side note, this KVM Mini Vortex Mixer is made in China.

This is my first vortex mixer so I do not have a point of comparison with other similar products. However, compared with shaking my paints this is a huge improvement. I am using this with small acrylic paint bottles used in miniature painting and those tend to separate if not used for a while and require vigorous shaking to mix back together. I thought this would be a big help to prevent injury or fatigue in my joints while mixing and it has been just that. You do have to practice a little bit to get the hang of how to engage the motor, but so far I've used it for a week of painting and it's performing just as well as on day one.

For such a small vortex mixer this really brings the power!This little mixer has brought some older polishes back to life!!This is not a rechargeable item, which in my opinion for something that needs to mix paint or other thick liquids really needs to be able to plug in.The suction cups on the bottom really hold this down and keeps it from bouncing around!Now I've got one that is several years old.It's a rechargeable mixer, but it 'sputters' when mixing. By sputters I mean erratic busts of power. Not exactly reliable at this point. It's much larger than this one as well.I really like the smaller profile that thus one has! I can plug it in with the long power cord when I need it. By small, this fits in my hand!Because it doesn't take up much space I can keep it on my work station when I'm not using it!I recommend this mixer to anyone that works with pigments, paints, or glues!

Bought the product and used for approximately 1 to 2 hours. Stopped working properly. Took off rubber on top and found the top bearing where ink bottles would be pushed against starting to break down. Machine won't start properly with this issue.
