I've used this many times and have never had an issue. I use it for airbrush paint and its perfect.

I Purchased this in early 2022 so I have had more than enough time to evaluate it. I was tired of having to mix/shake my hobby paints (mostly Vallejo) & wanted something that would make it easier as well as do a better job. Purchased this on a Lightning Deal half expecting it would not do that. It did exactly what I was wanting. Mixing/shaking paints is no longer an inconvenience or hassle when needed.It is also pretty quiet as long as it isn’t attached to something that will pickup & amplify the vibration. The build quality is solid as well. Just over 2 years of fairly consistent use & it is working the same as it did day one

Very strong motor only issue was the case for the mixing bearings broke in transit so there was a hundred ball bearings in box with machine if you order I would suggest buying the bearings on a separate order just in case

For the price this is a good item for anyone wishing to mix their paints like those similar to the Vallejo bottles. I dropped a small stainless ball in each of my bottles and it works wonders. It is rather quiet, but does vibrate my workbench a bit. Good price point and works well.

This is solid, doesn't vibrate too much even on a folding plastic table. 15 seconds and a quick 3 second shake is much better than shaking by hand for 45-60 seconds. For more stubborn paints like fully separated Army Painter Speedpaint Metallics 3 times at different angles at 20 seconds each with a quick shake between does the trick. Most of my paints have a pair of mixing balls in them also. It comes with some, but I used my own that I know for a fact wont rust. For hobbyists you don't need to pay more this one is good and reliable.

I kind of got this on a whim, figuring it couldn't be that much better than just shaking my model paints by hand. I was wrong. This gadget is excellent. It's simple to use, works very well, and mixes the paints perfectly.I've got it on a wood-veneer desk, so the suction cup feet don't work work particularly well. Not a problem with the suction cups - of course they don't work well on wood! But it doesn't 'walk around' as much as you might think when it's running, and you can actually sort of steer it to keep it in place.This was an excellent purchase, and I use it daily. Much recommended.

I think this is pretty much the same thing as like the crazy 140 dollar ones. Like none of them are really that great honestly. They don't do the magic that I thought they would. Even with a steel ball, thick paints are just too viscous for these things to do very much, you still kinda have to physically shake your paints but the way I look at it is I have to shake them less now and am probably doing a more thorough mixing, I think, but...I dont have to exert myself as much, however you do shake the absolute bejezus out of your hand which also, as a scientific fact, is not good for your fingers so........that's why I waited on one of these for so long but I will say this, it sits on my desk and when I go for a paint, I give it a few shakes then I use this thing, then I give a few more shakes....its like a whole ritual. I probably got the best shaken paints in town! But anyhow, I digress.In conclusion, so you're tired of shaking paints when your paint is drying out and your shoulder and elbow kinda feel uncomfortable when you're shaking paint bottles so you went to check amazon for a vortex mixer, saw that they were crazy expensive and then you were like hmm...what about this thing for like 50 bucks?.....is it as good? Well, yes, but you're still gonna have to shake your paints, just not as much and you know if you don't get it, you're just gonna keep thinking about it until you do get it, so you should probably just get it cause then you can be like "yea I got one of those vortex mixers.....whats that? Yea, it works okay"But anyways, you know you should just be working on your NMM instead of looking at vortex mixers on amazon. How are you ever gonna get as good as Angel Hiraldez when you're just wasting time aquiring new miniature painting gear.

One Year Update 3/9/2023I’ve been using this for a year now, and it still works fine. It has a tendency to ‘walk’ on my hobby table when in use. For heavy acrylic hobby paints like metallics or some Army Painter paints, it’s best to use it for up to 60 seconds straight. I’ll also switch the bottle’s position as I use it. I still recommend it however.The product works really well; I add Army Painter stainless steel mixing balls to most of my paints, and I think this helps the mixing machine do an even better job. It’s not very noisy, and it’s a relatively inexpensive alternative to the Vortex mixer. Really viscous hobby paints such as metallics don’t get the thorough mixing I’d like, however. If this machine ever breaks I might try a different style.
