Micro-Mark Cordless Mixer for Model Paints – Battery-Operated Mini Mixer for Acrylics, Enamels, Inks & Hobby Fluids – Quickly Blends Paints, Pigments & Mediums

Works great right out of the Box. Don't listen to people complaining about the battery door.. It slides off pretty easily as long as you have an IQ above room temp. First battery goes in backwards. Then top battery goes in same way at the plastic is cut out for. Again.. Room temp IQ to understand this. Mixes PAINT REALLY well.. And it's size fits any size bottle you have. Also the paddle dosent hold paint at all, so cleaning is minimal. For 10 bucks you can't go wrong. Awesome little product.

I’ve started making models after a thirty year hiatus and I needed a way to easily and cheaply mix 2 oz paint in a ten year old Airfix model kit. Many jars were dried out and manual stirring and shaking took forever and were not effective. The mixer does a great job without spatter. Slight negatives are that it feels flimsy, and there are no instructions. But it works and is half the price of the Badger brand. The speed varies based on the pressure applied to the button. It requires two double A batteries. If I decide to continue model making, I’ll look at the more expensive shaker style mixers.

I am a professional painter working in egg temepra. Rather than powder pigments I prefer to use a pigment dispersion (pigment in a water body with a binder). Many of the pigments separate considerably to the point where shaking will not help. This little mixer does the trick! It makes the pigments homogeneous with very few bubbles even after 15mintues of mixing. The small size of the head fits perfectly into my 2oz. bottles with a 1in neck opening. Many other products are too large. The shaft is a bit shorter than the bottle but it swirls well enough to pick up and incorporate the pigment at the bottom of the bottle. I would agree the plastic aught to be sturdier but I believe it will hold up well. For the manufacturer, I would happily pay a little more for a sturdier plastic housing. If you are having difficulty with the batteries, check out the video. It will help you figure out how to install them properly. Overall, thank you. This product is exactly what I needed to prepare my paint.

I have used this paint mixer several times to mix model and hobby paint. I find it a very simply designed tool, inexpensive and works very well for my needs. It is a little too easy to touch the plastic start switch that makes contact with the flat metal battery connection thus turning it on when you are not ready. But this is an easy fix (this is also the battery cover that slides in place on a rail) slide the battery cover/switch lever off. Heat the plastic a little with a candle flame or small heat source and bend the contact lever back a little to create more clearance away from the metal contacts. This may sound complicated but when you have the mixing tool in front of you it should be much easier to understand my instructions. With that minor detail taken care of I am quite pleased with this little tool and wish I had it a long time ago to mix paint.

Love this thing; it's easy to handle, easy to clean & does an excellent job mixing model paint. I managed to salvage some paint that I was about to throw out with a little bit of thinner & this mixer. It's also relatively quiet.

This is a flimsy piece of junk. You’re better off buying anything else. Don’t waste you’re money. Horrible contact switch that requires like 50+ KG of force on dynamometer just to get the button to stay active. The head of the mixer fell off before even one actual use and won’t go back on.

It works, but it's not as small as it says it is, as it doesn't fit in most paint bottles. It won't work with Vallejo or Amy Painter, or any other dropper bottles. I decided to return it since it doesn't work with the paints I use, and besides, the quality feels pretty low. Sometimes it sounds awful, as if it's going to break. I'd rather return it before that happens. For the price, I don't complain much about its quality, but it would be nice if its head were at least a few millimeters smaller to fit these bottles.

The switch is a simple contact switch under the thumb lever. When I first popped the batteries in, the unit automatically started. I had to fiddle with the contacts and switch by bending them to manipulate them to operate as intended. The simple contact switch is a spark hazard if using around flammable thinners and solvents. You can clearly see sparks when engaging the thumb lever. It works. It will do the job, but be careful to have fume producing thinners and solvents sealed away before use.

Product worked fine until I had to change the batteries, then it stopped working, so it lasted me for about a year and a half.

Il fonctionne très bien très silencieux et facile à nettoyer

Great little product. I am an Artist and I can mix mica powders I go paints easily using this.
