VOLTRXShaker Bottle, Gallium USB C Rechargeable Electric Protein Shake Mixer, Shaker Cups for Protein Shakes and Meal Replacement Shakes, BPA Free, Made with Tritan, 24oz, Red

**TLDR:** This is a handy little mixer, not a blender. It replaces those old-school blender bottles with the wire ball, and it does it cheaper. It's great for mixing protein powders or drink mixes quickly and easily. The quality isn't the best, and it might not last long, but it's super easy to clean. If you're making a lot of powder drinks, it's worth it. I'd give it four stars because it could be more durable or repairable.--- AmendmentThis review was initially done before the postscript addition afterwards. It covers the possible repairability aspect of this product. Even so, I decided to keep my original review the same, and simply make this note, and the one at the end.---**Product Overview:**This product is a small, battery-powered mixer that you've probably seen all over TikTok or AliExpress. It's got a plastic stirring piece, not sharp or made of steel. It's not a blender, just a mixer. It's designed to replace those blender bottles with the wire ball inside. It's cheaper than those too (Depending on the exact bottle you get), so if you're just looking to mix powders, this is a good choice.**How It Works:**The mixer has a fairly weak electric motor at the base of a plastic cup (Plenty strong to mix protein powders!! Just not a blender!). You fill it with water about three-quarters full, turn it on, and let it create a vortex. Then, you add your protein powder or drink mix. It mixes everything quickly and thoroughly in about 10 seconds. It's super convenient for getting powdery drinks blended without the hassle of using a spoon or shaking a bottle for ages.**Quality and Durability:**While it's a handy tool, the quality isn't top-notch. The battery isn't removable, and the motor is likely pretty cheap. I mena, these cost less than the company that just put a wire ball in a plastic bottle, so, this is too be expected. The USB-C charging port is covered with a rubber insert you take out to charge it, but it will wear down over time. The button feels solid enough, but it's clear that there are quality improvements to be had in the base. It’s not the most durable product, but for its price, it does the job.**Ease of Cleaning:**One of the best things about this mixer is how easy it is to clean. Unlike traditional blender bottles that can be a pain to scrub, you can clean this *like* a blender. Just rinse it out, fill it with water, add a bit of dish soap, and let it blend for 30 seconds. It’s quick and hassle-free. The base also comes off, so you don't have to worry about any crud living at the bottom of the cup in hard to reach places.**Overall Thoughts:**This mixer is a solid choice for anyone who frequently makes powder drinks. It's not going to last forever, but it's convenient and easy to use. If a version with a removable or replaceable battery existed, I'd give it five stars. As it stands, it's a four-star product because it could be more durable. If you need something more powerful, like for blending fruits, you'll want a real blender. But for simple mixing tasks, this does the trick.**TLDR:** The Vortex Blender Bottle has a hidden 18650 battery in its base that's surprisingly easy to access and potentially replace, despite the company not selling replacements. This makes it more repairable than expected, earning it a five-star review.---PostScript review---**Battery Access and Replacement:**While writing my review for the Vortex Blender Bottle, I discovered something pretty cool about its battery. Initially, I thought the battery wasn't replaceable, but I decided to check out the base of the blender. It turns out, the rubber feet on the bottom are actually removable, and not just sticky ones you can't put back. You can easily take them out and put them back in. Underneath those feet, there are four screws that are super easy to remove. Once I unscrewed them, I found an 18650 battery inside the base.If you're familiar with 18650 batteries, you'll know they're one of the most common rechargeable lithium-ion batteries out there. They're used in a lot of things, including the original Teslas and even some new ones. Most electric vehicles (EVs) use them, at least until new battery tech comes around. So, if you're comfortable with how these batteries work and how to replace them, you could swap it out. Just remember, not all 18650 batteries are interchangeable, so you need to know what you're doing. Even though the company doesn't sell a replacement battery, getting into the cup is so easy that I'd say it's replaceable, at least by someone who knows what they're doing. You could even take it to a repair shop for help.**Final Thoughts:**Finding out that the battery is accessible and potentially replaceable really changes things for me. I thought the battery was the weakest point of the blender, but now that I know it can be replaced, I'm giving the Vortex Blender Bottle a five-star review. It's a great product, especially with this newfound somewhat unofficial repairability.

This has been a favorite item in our home. Its versatility is unmatched, and the absence of sharp blades makes it safe to use. The plastic components are designed simply for mixing, but they do an incredible job, especially when it comes to preparing morning coffee. Brewing a cup of coffee and then adding sugar or cream transforms it into something special. I even like to add ice cream and whipped cream for that Starbucks-like experience—it's quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! Words can't fully capture how much we adore this gadget.One of the best parts is that it's kid-friendly for my kids, so we don’t have to worry about them getting hurt. Plus, it's a breeze to clean! This is truly one of the most useful gadgets we own, and its portability means we can take it anywhere. For instance, we’ve tried mixing coffee with honey and hot water, and it turned out to be delightful. That’s just one coffee creation; I could go on about all the things we've made. If you enjoy enhancing your coffee experience and starting your day with a perfect mix, this is a must-have. We loved it so much that we bought two, and I highly recommend it!

Wow. I'm totally delighted by this product and I love it when that happens.I needed a protein shake bottle that absolutely positively doesn't leak. Period. I'm a busy athlete. I carry lots of stuff in my bag. I can't have leaks. The bottle will get thrown around in the bag. It can't leak.This product delivered awesomely, big time, completely.It's been a solid 10 years since I bought a protein shake bottle. My last one got lost. I was trying to accomplish a few things. Here are my requirements.- Stop buying pre-mixed bottles of protein because it costs too much money, it creates too much plastic waste- Favor protein powder because the cost is lower and I'm wasting less plastic (especially when I can buy the powder in bulk by bringing my own bag)- No leaks - periodWhen I started shopping, I discovered that the market had evolved. For the same price of a good shaker bottle, I could get a bottle with a motor and blade at the bottom.So, I narrowed it down to the Voltrx and the Promixx.I realized that I carry my protein in my own separate container so I didn't want the built in protein powder holder that the Promixx has. Also, a separate holder means the chances of problems occurring increase. I favored simplicity.The Voltrx also has a classic screw on cap. The Promixx doesn't. I'm a little old school - caps with seals generally don't leak.The Voltrx has a solid and thick carry handle which feels great in the hand.The 30 second auto-mix feature on the Voltrx is just absolutely fantastic. While it's mixing, I can do something else. I really really like this feature.My workflow for how I use the Voltrx is:- put a little vegan cream liquid in it- add water to max line- add 2 scoops of Simple Orgain powder (20g protein)- close it all up- press button- throw it in my gym bag- 1 to 3 hours later, I grab the bottle, shake it, press the button, and consume- Come home and clean itCleaning is a little more tedious than a traditional shaker bottle but I don't mind. The benefit of the product outweighs this. The product has electronics in it at the bottom so you have to keep the water away from the bottom. Here's how I clean it.- Take lid off, rinse under water, rub inside of cap and lid with thumb, set to side to dry- For the bottle, I run water on the onside being careful to not get water on the outside- I used to use a soft brush on the inside but I find rubbing my hand on the inside works well; I also rub my fingers gently on the blade and under it- Set the bottle upside down to dry; I also wipe off water from the outside...just to protect the electronics- Overall, the plastic on the inside of the lid and bottle is super smooth and my powder doesn't seem to stick to it- Cleaning takes about 60 seconds- I never remove the bottom where the electronics are. There's no need to. Some of the other products have a workflow that requires you to do this.- Note that the bottom is IPX5-certified waterproof but I don't want to lean on that. I am careful to keep the water off of it.Obviously, I choose the Voltrx and I am just super-thrilled about this product. Everything works great. I love USB C (world seems to be moving to this).Another reviewer said "Just get it." They were right. It's solid.Thanks Voltrx for making a great product.

The bottle works pretty well. The charge lasts a decent amount of time, so I don’t need to worry about it running out after just one or two uses. It blends shakes and smoothies without much trouble. Cleaning it isn’t difficult either. Overall, it's a good option if you're looking for something simple and reliable without all the extra hype. I only wish the blender was not plastic so I it could chop ice or fruits up.
