The media could not be loaded. It's a great way to make sure your Citadel, Vallejo, Tamiya, etc. paints are mixed thoroughly, every time.If you paint a LOT of miniatures, this makes sure that the paint is mixed well (I put in a stainless steel agitator ball too) rather than having to shake by hand the 300+ brush and airbrush paints I have, just pop them on the mixer, press down gently and the mixer starts up, doing exactly what it says, creating a little vortex (or tornado) of paint in the pot, this ensures perfect consistency, every time.It was a big initial expenditure, but worth it - to me anyway, as I have early-onset osteoarthritis.I know that's not It's intended purpose (or is it?) but it does exactly what I, and a number of professional miniature painters use, now I have one, I couldn't go back.Beware of the "newer version" or the one that looks wider with 3 "legs", the RPM is lower, so, obviously slower and not so good with thicker paints, I'd always go for the one like mine, good strong motor, high RPM, superior mixing.Just make sure the lid of the pot or bottle is securely sealed, the last thing you want is a pot of Nuln Oil (it's always the cursed Nuln Oil!) spilling and spraying over your hobby space!The unit is a good weight, and the rubber feet stops it from vibrating off your table.Solid build quality and comes with a spare rubber cap (so you can choose blue or green).

I use this for modelmaking and to save my wrists from the rigours of shaking bottles and small tins of paint! In this regard, this amazing little product is a lifesaver and worth the high price.Very simple to use, it doesn't take up a lot of space on my workbench and achieves a very well mixed result in 10-30 seconds depending on the viscosity and type of paint. I've used it for small 14ml tins of enamel up to 500ml Halfords rattle can sprays and it works perfectly every time.The perfect accessory I never knew I needed, it's made airbrushing a much easier task and probably prolonged the lifespan of my paint as well.

Like many others here I bought this for shaking paint for painting miniature figures. Having seen some less than stellar reviews on the cheaper options I took a punt on this and so far I'm glad I did. Works really well, arrived very quickly and well packaged. While I had intended to use this purely for the increasing amount of acrylics I use, I have found it works well with my traditional enamel paints too. If you're a hobbyist and swithering over whether it's worth the £90, or just to get one of the cheap £30 ones, my advice is to pay the extra and get this one, it's been real help and the build quality and feel of the item is definitely indicative of a quality item. Highly recommended.

A heavy duty product. Quiet and very stable, you don't have to hold on to it as it doesn't move/creep in operation. Excellent for mixing all model paints, particularly ones you haven't used for some time, and its quick. I could never achieve the same level of mix by just hand shaking, even with steel ball bearings in the bottle. May seem expensive but you get what you pay for.

Amazing product for shaking up those dropper bottles of paint or Tamiya paint. The weight and size are misleading it will definately stop shaking your wrist to bits. Tad pricey but I feel the quality over takes the price tag

Use this for my paints for painting miniatures. Yes, it’s a considered purchase but oh so worth it. Don’t waste time with cheaper items, I’ve tried a couple and they don’t come close. Saves so much time and they mix so well, and have rescued some old paints from the abyss. I have some arthritis so getting paint mixed was always a massive chore, now painting is a pleasure again, and I’ve bought brands that I ignored before as they are known to separate quickly. Worth every penny and has certainly saved money on rescued paints and old nail polish as well!

I use this for mixing paints for modelling. Works really well. Impressed.

This product is perfect for mixing and reviving old miniature paints. I paint with scale 75 which has a gel medium this mixes them perfectly in seconds almost a must have. A drop of water to a citadel pot and refreshed paint in seconds. I do think for what it is the price was a touch high but it does it’s job perfectly.
