Norpro Cordless Mini Mixer Reviews

• great but need this usage tip

  
  By A2NNMFRM9LIUIB on 2006-06-18
  This works wonderfully as long as you slightly move your hand in the opposite direction of the blades rotation. This keeps it from splattering, which is a huge problem if you don't know about this little usage tip.
  
  I have amazed so many friends with frothy coffees while camping.
  
  

• Vary practical and portable

  
  By A2TNAQKMO1QTRD on 2007-11-25
  I usually prepare food and drinks for one, so I don't one to use big appliances. The mini-mixer is perfect for mixing stuff fast and without much cleaning afterwards. Works particularly well when mixing powders and liquids (like hot cocoa, shakes, etc)
  
  

• Amazing tool for such a small price...

  
  By A20IF70HGVGE01 on 2007-09-09
  Other reviewers have evaluated this mixer's strengths and weaknesses, but let me just say that for the price (i.e., around six bucks) you owe it to yourself to get one. It is extraordinarily convenient to have this tiny appliance handy when you need do to a simple mixing job.
  
  

• Mini-Mixer vs Aerolatte... edited review - 4 Stars

  
  By A3IQF4MHR7LUUM on 2007-02-24
  I tried to change the # of stars to 4 in this edited review but couldn't. The Mini-Mixer (MM) is cheaply made even by current Chinese standards... doesn't have a switch - you just press a plastic thingy against a metal reed to make voltage contact. Length of MM with frother is 7.25". Length of Aerolatte (AL) is 8.25". Weight with batteries: MM - 94g. AL - 102g. MM motor is as powerful as the AL. MM shaft is thicker than AL shaft. The AL has a little circular whisk on the bottom. The MM has a dime-sized disc with 16 little teeth @ a 45 degree angle to the disk. Surprisingly, the MM frother disc generates less drag in liquid and spins faster than the AE. I believe the MM actually does a BETTER job. It frothes like hell. I give the AL 4 stars (mostly for apparent quality/durability) and the MM 4 stars (for outstanding cheap performance).
  
  

• convient, but underpowered

  i was pleased with the size and portability of this mixer. however, it is obviously cheaply made: the power button is just a pressure switch to close the circuit of the AA battery and with mine, what i would consider to be excessive pressure is required to get the thing to work. i don't ask much of my mixer, mostly i do an instant breakfast/protein concoction in the mornings. even with this light resistance, the mixer loses significant power when the attachment head is fully submersed. it may work just fine for frothing milk, but if you have any actual mixing to do, it's sort of a pain.
  
  
• A great tool
  By AOI1LQR21D6GX on 2007-12-02
  I bought this mixer for mixing my protein drink which i found difficult doing it by hand. This great little tool made my life easier. Mixes my drink in seconds and without any lumps or anything. After using it for a while I got one more of this to use it in my office. Overall, works perfect for me.
  
  
• Pretty Good
  By A2FRFAQCWZJT3Q on 2008-04-11
  First you should be aware that there is only about 4" from the tip of an attachment to the motor housing so you are pretty limited to amount and container size. Splattering is a big issue - I have begun to drape a cloth napkin or tea towel over the hand I'm holding the mixer with to minimize the mess. The other day I tried mixing up a batch of dressing using silken tofu Mori-Nu Silken Lite Firm Tofu, 24 pack as the base and even though I pre-mashed the tofu first and added liquids this little mixer would not blend it the rest of the way. Also it will not scramble a raw egg with a bit of water. Okay those are the cons, on to the pros - it is quiet and handy and does a bang-up job on mixing powders into liquids. I believe it would also work for a mostly liquid dressing such as Italian. I nearly always use the miniature whisk attachment, rinse, and leave it installed because I think that taking it off and on every day would probably lead to it no longer staying in place. The attachments each have a tiny hole in the end that slides over a tiny pin in the motor housing. Works well but could wear out with frequent installs and uninstalls.
  
  
• The cordless mini mixer that COULD !
  By A26682IDP6RTW7 on 2008-05-06
  I found this mini mixer as a replacement for an old favorite. Amazon, as usual, had it in my hand before I was done ordering, and all 3 work perfectly. I use the bell shaped plastic mixer to turn powdered health drinks and water into a liquid. Even the thick powders can't slow this little beauty down. I gave it 5 stars.
  
  
• Worked Great for about 1 month!
  By A2Z4XBXOIAV4J7 on 2008-05-07
  I used this mixer to mix my protein shakes for about a month before it stopped working!

• Love it!
  By A2KPSIT6X2BZPQ on 2008-07-19
  We love this mixer. It's perfect for mixing small things and it easy to clean (we put the attachments in the dishwasher). As long as you know that it's plastic and will break after about a year, then you'll love it. It's cheap and useful.
  
  
• Great little product!
  By A2UZP9A6GZB7WC on 2008-08-16
  This is a must have if you are mixing powders into liquid! It's small & so handy...mixes very well.
  
  
• good and cheap
  By AP5E2YOQ5I9O3 on 2008-09-30
  This product is great. It's so many products in one and it's it's very inexpensive. Most other mixers/frothers die on me in a month, but this one is still going.
  
  
• The Best Little Mixer Money Can Buy
  By A39OGL3BRP99YF on 2008-10-06
  I've been searching for this little mixer since my original one wore out. I use it constantly! My favorite use, however, is mixing drinks and not just alcoholic. Buy one and you'll be amazed at the many uses you'll find for it.
