Norpro Cordless Mini Mixer, 5 Piece Set, One Size, White

This little “whipper” is great, after one day of use. It is better than a whipping “frother”. This new one has the power and speed to mix my 2 scoops of powder protein shake mix with ease. I will need to adjust to the shorter mixing wand length (only 4 inches), but it is worth the compromise. It’s easy to assemble the attachments, cleans with ease, and a no-brainer to use.

I searched for "battery whisk mixer" and liked the cheapest $9 one so much I got another for my granddaughter who loves to froth up her almond milk, fruit juice, or whatever she's drinking. I only ever use the all-metal whisk which is fairly sturdy and doesn't froth up my coffee much. The other attachments tend to wobble but froth up any liquid in seconds and batteries last a year for me with occasional use. For a daily whisk or two, they'll last months. These mixers are delicate in that you don't want to bend the whisk rod or attachment shaft or it'll spin off center and make a mess of spatter. They're very fast; my rough guess is at least 2000 rpm. Couple or three seconds usually. Pick it up, mix, rinse under faucet, shake dry and put away in like ten or fifteen seconds. Mix superfine powders into cold liquids instantly, like matcha, cocoa, food starch, gravy, whipped cream, nutritional drinks; emulsify sauces and mayos. Aerate fine wine in the glass in the blink of an eye. Completely safe and convenient, unlike immersion blenders. Works pretty well up to at least a pint of liquid. Super quiet and both kid-friendly and kid-magnetic. Switch must be held down, but usually for only a few seconds so no hardship. Start with roughly equal amounts of powder and liquid, and once it's evenly wetted, added liquid incorporates almost instantly. Or just dump it all together and after a few additional seconds it's lump-free liquid.

2nd UPDATE 11/3/25 Back to 1 STAR: Well, as much as I learned to enjoy and trust this little mixer for daily use for many months, it didn't last a year. The introductory price I paid was just $5.95, so I was not too surprised or upset. I tried to get along with other methods of mixing protein powder into water, but I was spoiled and wanted another one! I couldn't get it through Amazon, so I ordered the same item through Walmart. That one was more than twice the cost, as expected, BUT it was more cheaply made. The on-off button that is built into the battery cover, is so poorly made that once I press it to start the little motor, it stays depressed when I lift my finger off of it and continues to run until I use two hands to pull up the end of that on:off/battery cover to stop make it stop! It sometimes starts up when I just pick it up! I don't think it is defective. It just seems poorly made with poor quality control. I will be returning it and never will buy this brand of mini mixer again. Not recommended at all now. I didn't get one day's usage out of this second one! UPDATE 2/25/2025 To 5 STARS: Since my sturdier-appearing whipper was inoperable, I have been using this much lighter version by another mfr. To my great surprise, I LOVE how much lighter it is. I use it several times each day, and until now, I never realized how much difference several ounces can make in a tool so often used! The little thing seems well-made, and it can handle very thick protein smoothies. If a smoothie is too thick for it, I've found it's really too thick for me to enjoy drinking so I add a little water. So, no problem there! It's given me no problems at all, so I'm giving it 5 stars this time. Each time I reach for this little whipper gadget, I am amazed by how little it weighs and can't help but smile bc it is SO much easier it is to use than my older one. And it does just as good a job, too! It no longer seems cheaply made to me either. I have been using it for months now and can highly recommend buying this item. ORIGINAL 1 STAR REVIEW: This item is much lighter and REALLY cheaply made compared to the robust "Fit&Fresh" one I am trying to replace now after wearing it out over several years of daily use in smoothies. It's made from such thin plastic, I can't even get the battery cover off to try it out! The cover literally COLLAPSES when I press down on it hard enough on the ridges to grip and then slide it back and off to load the batteries. I actually just found it will come off, but not easily and ONLY IF I use a very thin (sharp!) knife tip pressed down against the ridges on the cover and then use that tip to push/slide that flimsy cover backwards and off. It will hold 2 AA batteries, IF YOU CAN JAM THEM IN! It's not clear which way they should be inserted bc the contacts don't look familiar. I guessed right the first time, though, and it seems to work well. I just don't know how I'm going to ever get them out when they need to be replaced without tearing up the plastic with another type (not so sharp!) of knife tip. It took brute force to push them in straight bc the battery holder box is just too small. No wiggle room at all!! The on-off button is actually just a thin piece of plastic that extends off of the front end of that battery cover. It turns the unit on by pressing down on it, like a diving board first is jumped on will go downward and then bounce back up to rest. Turning it off is the same movement. The "diving board" tab is always at rest in its "up" position while it runs and also while it's off. You need to keep your thumb on it to keep it running. What concerns me is how to keep that open slot under that on-off tab clean. It's very easy to splash something onto that area and would be very hard to clean later! I know from using my similar one that it is very important to have a durable on-off switch. This one just has a long, thin piece of plastic with an opening below it to enable it to bounce up and down. Never seen anything so cheaply designed, although they did give its upper surface an ergonomic curve to hold the thumb in place on it. (That does feel good!) So, honestly, I recommend spending a little more to buy a better stirrer than this one. You will definitely get only what you pay for with this one. So, expect problems! It costs very little, so it is nothing more than a throw-away item. It will never hold up to mix anything into a smoothie, day after day, which is what my other one did with ease, even when its batteries were kinda low. Hope I can find another! Would pay $12-15 for it if it was made as well.

I was surprised at how well this worked. It does very well mixing my powdered supplements.

I received the Norpro Cordless Mini Mixer about a month ago. I take many powder supplements to support my health and mix various drinks throughout the day so I thought that this little mixer would be a great fit for me. It sure proved to be handy; mixing creamer into coffee, sugar into tea, powder mix into water, fruit and vegetable juices together after juicing, and a few other ways. Its a great little tool, but the build quality is less than adequate. The door that slides over the batteries in tends to slide off quite often while pushing the mix button, which is annoying. The button itself actually depresses a small metal tab to complete the circuit and power the motor, which is where the biggest problem lies. This tab seems to be very finicky and after a little use has gotten worse. Sometimes, depending on the pressure and angle at which the button is pushed, the mixer will spin at about half power and other times it will spin at full power. This would be alright if it were consistent, but it isn't. There are times when depressing the button fully won't power the mixer at all. I have resorted to bending the metal tabs with a fork to improve the connections; has helped a little, but not completely. Overall this mixer is very handy and I use it quite often, but the poor design and build quality really hinder this mixer's ability to work well and can be annoying. The power is sufficient for mixing low viscosity liquids like milk, water and juice, but is not sufficient for mixing higher viscosity foods like yogurt. Because of the inexpensive price point and its usefulness I would recommend giving it a try, but be aware that it does have flaws.
