Once I figured out how to install the batteries it was greatThis frother has staying power. I waited to review this to see if it would last.I really like this frother. I purchased a total of 3 of these. One for home, one for my RV, and one for my step daughter. It has power plus. You have to definitely keep that in mind when using due to spillage issues if your cup is full or close to the brim. For myself I mix what I need to before adding my coffee to make bulletproof coffee.PROS: Powerful ​Has a protective container stand. The shaft on the whisk is about twice as thick as most other frothers. The shaft does not wobble and is made heavy duty. Comes with an extra single whisk replacement.CONS: Can't control speed. Uses up batteries quickly using once a day (lasts about a month before bogging down}. The stand does not have a lock in feature to secure it to the frother for traveling.I would love to see this frother in a recharble model with a true travel protective cover/stand, and a high and low speed. I would definitely pay more for these features. With all of that said, this is a workhorse that holds up well. I have tried many a frother (all have had issues) and this is the best I have used. For the price, it's worth it.Love this little machine it is worth every penny making my morning coffee fabulous! The stand and sleek design are beautiful!Simply put its great and gets the job done. Great for hot or cold frothing.great little device to froth the milk for lattes or hot chocolate. easy to use and clean and a cover just in case you want to store it and prevent it from breaking.Best little hand blender! Price was right and it’s powerfulBest frother for capuccunos or cafe latte I have ever owned. It has the double spundal that makes great foam.Bought as a gift for a client. It mixes up and froths her cappuccino really well!
