I've had several electric shakers over the years, this is probably number 7 or 8 for me. So I'm used to the pros and cons of such a product. said. This is probably my favorite design of all so far. And perhaps the most reliable. What you will encounter and worry about most with electric shakers is the integrity of the rubber seals, which they all require to prevent liquid from leaking out of the bottle and/or into critical components (such as the motor or jar). the power switch). ). Some designs seem really bad with this one in general. They are usually tested and stressed the most when using hot liquids as this causes pressure build-up. That's why I don't recommend using hot substances with them, especially with the lid closed. Further. Your biggest concern is cleaning and maintenance. It wasn't that easy with most of the models I've come across. This item? of them to clean (the inner bottom is curved and see-through, so you don't have to worry about trying to clean the residue stuck in the bottom corners of the bottle). Another plus is that the motor is located at the top of the bottle (cap). so it makes cleaning easier. Also, this is the only design I've come across that actually lets you use it upside down if you want (I really think it's intended that way, but it works upside down too). ). As already mentioned. The sigils will be one of the most important things for this, and the sigils on this one are probably the best I've seen. and because the engine is on top. if you use the item upside down. You don't have to worry about fluid leaking into the engine during operation, and it's almost impossible for it to get through the seals. I think even under pressure the drinking holes in the lid will open before the seals fail. Now. considering what was said. I ran into an issue where with light use the item seemed to die completely in less than a month. This happened after I cleaned the item a second time and it worked great after that. Experience with similar things in the past. I knew the water had to get into the electrical components somehow. but I was sure it didn't happen. in the bottle. I finally disassembled the item and indeed there was water in it. Somewhere the seals have failed. me a replacement. I was able to successfully remove all of the water from half of the critical component. I noticed water got in when I cleaned the lid. It came through the charging port or the power button as far as I could tell. It's actually pretty much submerged. Apparently it worked again after I removed the whole thing. (It's fuzzy in places with the spin function), although the power LED still doesn't work. You do NOT want water getting into the motor and electrical component areas. You can't pull it out without taking the whole thing apart (not recommended). I knew the water couldn't get past the engine seals because thankfully there really wasn't any water that could be drained from the engine. Leave 5 stars but with this little flaw?. I have a hard time citing user error when the port seals were actually closed at the time. Be careful when cleaning the top half and you'll be fine. As I said, the seller was great, he sent me a replacement straight away.
