Norpro2273 Cordless Mini Mixer, White

I love little blenders like this but have great difficulty finding the kind I like. The early ones had a fairly flat disk - which worked very well for almost anything (within reason). The later ones are almost all coffee frothers - with a big head that is great for coffee but pretty useless for anything else - like fairly thick gravy or sauces. Well this device has them all - although I personally will probably only use the saw-like head because, in my experience at least, it works well for almost everything (including very good milk shakes). But nothing will be thrown away since everything is quite well made and looks like they have there own special uses. For the price extraordinarily good value. Speaking about these types of devices generally (not this specific one) I believe that the reason why the saw-like head is so useful that it offers little resistance to the liquid being mixed but still mixes well. Even when it isn't the ideal whisk its speed accomplishes what its shape would otherwise have difficulty with. Its almost a universally useful head. Because (unlike the other whisks) the saw-like head has a steel shaft it is much more difficult to get on and off than the other whisks - but its so useful you probably won't need to take it off very often anyway. Instructions are non-existent so inserting the very fiddly penlight batteries (not supplied|) can be tricky. They seem to work in series (ie the terminals are at opposing ends). Don't know if which way round they are overall makes any difference but mine works with the first battery's sticking out terminal (+) pointing away from the whisk and second battery's + terminal pointing towards the whisk. I suspect that is the only way they will actually fit - but its not obvious until you get the little blighters in. You basically have to tap them out or put a bit of tape round them to help remove them before you replace the battery cover. Despite a few niggles I Iove it.

A great little bit of kit. The only problems are that inserting the batteries the right way up is difficult due to poor markings in the battery housing & it's not quite as powerful as it could be. However, I use it all the time (mainly for blending salad dressings) & would buy again.

I recently got this little Mixer to use when mixing my own e-juice recipes (for Vaping).Sadly the unit comes without any instructions on how to insert your 2x AA batteries (not supplied)! So I was very close to send it back as DOA... 😥PLEASE SEE MY PHOTO above for a simple illustration on how to insert the batteries, it's easy once you know how!Once I figured out how to get the batteries in place, I started mixing up some nice Vape Juice to try the mixer on.To my great surprise the Mixer performed superbly and the mixing attachment actually fit perfectly through the top of the 10ml plastic bottles used for small batches of e-juice!When I bought the unit I was thinking how much of a gadget freak I am and how this would probably just be a waste of money... Bought only because I'm too lazy to shake my bottles for a minute or so LOL! 😉However, the mixing action of this unit really does an amazing job, which actually helps getting my recipes blended together, PROPERLY, in just a few seconds!!!The results are quite surprising as the oils and flavour concentrates get whipped into something of a milky looking liquid through the extremely fast whisking action...So this very cheap little gadget turned out to be Extremely Useful and a bit of a GAME CHANGER for me! 😎Very warmly recommended! 👍👍👍

Looks very nice and most of the fittings worked. Two fittings did not slot in and when you turned it on they fell off. It was only used to froth up coffee and after 3 and half months it no longer works. The coffee turned the fittings brown and would not clean so they look permanently dirty. We may have had a faulty one, but I will not be ordering another oneNormally I would report this but there are no contact details to report the fact it no longer works

It is cheap and cheerful but does the job of mixing small batches of lotion/cream/balms.There are no instructions on which way to put the batteries in which is annoying but only takes a few attempts to figure it out.The major annoyance for me, and the reason for only three stars is that the battery panel keeps slipping open and the blender subsequently loses power as the contacts move when the battery panel cover moves. annoying to say the least. But for the price, the variety of attachments, it's fine.

If you are looking at this to mix your E-Liquid then this is the tool that a lot of users use.. The smallest it can fit into is 7.9mm hole in a 10ml Bottle using the thin attachment and there is a little more room left... Using the Attachment that all users use..Apart from the battery issue, I really think it is a good mixer. But, what surprises me, is that it costs so much?.. This is the sort of product in a "Pound Shop".. I bet the maker is laughing all the way to the Bank. Were is the other makers to beat it?..Update 1st January 2019.. After a couple of uses, the batteries seem to go flat really quick?.. After investigating (See Photos) I found the problem. There is a "little" metal contact from the motor that needs a Gentle lift upwards. If you look under the Main Metal contact... After fixing, the mixer works 80% Better and is now super fast!..Regards Mr A Hinks.. Portsmouth..
