Review on Heavy Duty Vortex Shaker With Touch And Continuous Mode - 110V by Jerome Brooks

I bought this vortex mixer in order to better mix the paints I use for tabletop miniature gaming. Some of the vortex mixers I saw had smaller tops that seemed specifically modeled for the scientific applications this mixer is used for, such as test tubes. This was a concern and why I was attracted to this particular model. I use Vallejo, P3, Citadel, and Warcolours paints most often so I have a wide variety of container shapes that I need to be compatible with a mixer.This vortex mixer is a cylinder about 6 inches tall and 4 inches across with three rubber suction cups on the bottom. I use it on a wooden table and it was very stable and quieter than I expected. The top is made of soft rubber, is about 2 1/2 inches across, round, and slightly concave and fits anything that I would ever need to mix. Craft paints, paint pots, and dropper bottles fit really well with room to spare. The motor is plenty powerful enough for any of the paint containers I regularly use. It even mixes a full 200ml large bottle of Vallejo Surface Primer, although I had to mix it cap down because the bottle is so big it presses the top of the vortex mixer such that it can't move properly.The first thing I tried to mix was a very separated bottle of Vallejo Brassy Brass metallic paint. It was so separated you could easily see the pigment and the medium as two layers. I held the paint dropper down on the mixer for about 15 seconds and the paint was completely mixed. Better yet the paint was smooth and without the bubbles you sometimes see from vigorously mixed paints. Most paints require only 8 to 10 seconds.I highly recommend this vortex mixer for hobby applications. It produces a well mixed paint without bubbles effortlessly and will save precious time that is better spent gaming.
