Just delivered and I wouldn't put it next to a bottle without an upgrade. I have the plastic version and one of the blades fell off. I thought the stainless steel version would be more reliable. The weights are the same. It does not bother me. My issue is that the bolt that goes through them is tiny and the hole in the blades is much larger. I can only see the edge of the hole under the tiny head of the screw. The paddle breaks the moment it is turned over. You could at least use a washer to distribute the load. I will replace with a better sized screw or add a washer to keep the head from popping out.
