Bonsenkitchen Powerful Milk Frother for Coffee, Fast Handheld Drink Mixer with Stainless Steel Whisk, Battery Operated Hand Frother Stirrer Wand-Black

This little guy is set by default at a high speed. It's VERY fast. I had to use it a few times to get acclimated to that. The first time I used it to mix my coffee with a creamer, I had a cup "tsunami' and a serious spill over. Solution? just press the power button (located on the heel) half way or in very short increments. Problem solved.But I still give it 5 starts. Seems to be very well made, especially at this price point. If it lasts a year or so, that will be a home run.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this frother because it only requires 2 batteries. I like the button on the top to control it. I like the design and the weight on the top. The power is there to froth up nicely. Works great for what I need it for.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I didn't think it would work but frothing half and half takes seconds. Not sure how it compares to steamed and frothed milk from an espresso machine but it works great.

It's the first one I've ever owned, so I don't really know any better... But it seems to work fine. It's powerful enough to blend the absurd amount of powders I tend to put into a cup at once.I will dock it one star simply for the battery compartment, though. I get there isn't a lot of real estate on the device to make a more standard one, but... I really wish they didn't go with one of those stupid ribbons as the only way to remove the batteries because it immediately fluttered out from underneath the first battery in and draped itself over it; there's a decent chance I might break the frother when I change its batteries. I guess I just wish there was a better way to design that. If this thing dies, maybe I'll see if there's a rechargeable one on the market.Otherwise, it's perfectly fine at its job, and I don't feel that $10 was a bad price... Presuming it survives having its batteries changed.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had bought one for myself last year and love it . This one was for my granddaughter who loves her creamy hot chocolate and malteds. It is such an inexpensive purchase to make such a big difference; just can't go wrong.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:yes, works well, in retrospect (my fault) should have looked for one with a longer/deeper spinner (I can't get to the bottom of a 16 oz glass without putting handle in the drink)

Takes 2 AA batteries. I also use it for not too thick smoothies. Works best with coffee.

So far so good, it met my expectation. I generally just use it to blend coco powder or coffee. I like the spin button being big on the top and it fits a stand that I already have.If you spin long enough it does foam up. Will update the review with the battery life, let see how long this one last before I have to change battery. It takes 2 batteries and it's one stack on top of another. That part was slightly confusing but I did figure it out. Too bad it doesn't come with a rechargeable USB version. I like the simplicity - it's one speed, so it doesn't go out of control or get messy like some other with 3 speeds.
