HELIMIX 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle Holds upto 28oz | No Blending Ball or Whisk | USA Made | Portable Pre Workout Whey Protein Drink Shaker Cup | Mixes Cocktails Smoothies Shakes | Top Rack Safe

My Helmix 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle arrived this afternoon and I was anxious to give it a try. Here is my first experimental recipe: * Dairy Milk (filled to desired level) * 1/4 cup strawberry yogurt * 1 scoop strawberry Orgain Plant Based Protein Powder * 1 scoop vanilla Orgain Grass Fed Whey Powder * 1/4 cup organic raw instant oatmeal (This can also be in powdered form) * 1 tsp almond powder * 1 tsp pumpkin seed powder * 1 tsp vanilla powder * 1 TBS raw unfiltered honey After shaking the contents in the Helmix Vortex Blender Shaker for less than 10 seconds everything blended together perfectly. There were no lumps or clumps. And, the smoothie was delicious. I chose the larger bottle size because this allows for more open inner space for shaking and complete blending of the ingredients. I will continue to use this amazing Helmix Vortex Shaker whenever I need a quick pick-me-up smoothie that requires ingredients that consists of only liquids and powders. The clean up was fast and easy. However, this should be done according to the directions. If you are using ingredients that contain oils, (e.g. chia seeds, flax seeds, peanut butter) it would be helpful with clean up procedures to wash the vortex bottle right after using. This is because the dried oils will harden in the vortex creases, making the cup harder to clean. The snap lid that covers the drinking spout fits tightly so that it doesn't prop open while shaking. However, because I'm 87 years old I found it somewhat difficult to open but still doable. People who have arthritis in their hands might find this maneuver unmanageable. I found the Helmix Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle to be very sturdy and nothing leaked whatsoever. And, the design is beautiful. Overall, I consider the Helmix 2.0 Vortex Blender Shaker Bottle to be an amazing product of science technology. So, I will give this vortex shaker 5 super big stars with happy faces. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Update: I want to start off this review by telling Dody at Helimix how much I appreciate their promptness and the level of service that they provided. I contacted Helimix Support via their website and got quite possibly one of the fastest responses I have ever received from a company about anything. After sending my email in through their website at 7:07am they had responded to me (a real person not automated) by 7:23am with what information they needed to begin to process a replacement for me. I was blown away with how quickly they responded to me since it seems most companies have a standard 2 to 3 business day time frame on non-automated support. I sent in the requested information and they replied same day that they would get it shipped out that week. I can't overstate how amazed I was to contact support, get a reply and resolution all in the same day. That kind of customer service is hard to come by over email anymore. As promised they had my replacement shipped out 2 days from initial contact and I had it in my mailbox exactly 1 week after initial contact. Now that I got the amazing experience I had with their support out of the way, for the bottle itself. There was definitely an issue with my previous one because this one has been nice and watertight since receiving it. I've been using it for the past two weeks since getting it and have not had the same issue. Bottle is great at getting everything nice and mixed. I love being able to get the same if not better performance as other bottle brands without extra parts to achieve the results. They've got me hooked and I will definitely be recommending their product to others. (Original Review retained for completeness) I dunno if mine just doesn't sit right but it's not leak-proof. It's not a horrible leak but the whenever I'm shaking up anything inside it I will get splashed with little bits of liquid. There isn't any type of rubber gasket between the lid and cup so I'm not sure if this is why it leaks ever so slightly. None the less it's no fun getting sprayed by my drink when trying to mix it and it really sucks because otherwise the bottle is perfect. No clumping, mix is nice and uniform with very little to no product settled on the bottom.

I used to use BlenderBottle sports, but they changed the spout closure so I went looking for a different bottle. This one is awesome for my purposes. I used it to mix up creatine powder and a fiber supplement in orange juice and water. I haven't had issues getting my stuff to mix in any shaker bottle, but this bottle mixes it well without the need for a spring mixer ball. I like that it's made of a sturdy material. The spout closure snaps securely into place (and you can hear/feel it snap). My only small complaint is that it doesn't fit easily into a drink sleeve in my shoulder bag, but you can't have it all. It's also a bit expensive compared to other models out there, but you do get a better quality product for the extra cost.

i was a skeptic. i've been through many other shaker bottles with all sorts of agitators inside from wire balls to spiky knobs, propeller blades, etc. all have left a good amount of ingredients unmixed in the end leaving me disappointed, money wasted, and a globby mess to clean up. i thought how could this one really be different without anything inside to help mix things up thoroughly? boy was i wrong. i've mixed the driest of powders with water, milk, juice, tea. shake hard for less than a minute, it's gone, all gone. i thought it was a trick or i just got lucky the first time, then the second, third, forth. others in the family tried it too. occasionally, rarely, there's a little tiny bit of powder somehow trapped in a corner groove by itself. but no chunks, none of those little wet balls that you touch and they burst open with dry powder inside, no huge globs in the crevices, it really does an amazing job of mixing everything up. i guess the physics are right, and i'm a skeptic no more. do make sure you put your liquid in first and powder in 'on top' of everything else. it seems to work best if you hold it vertical and shake up and down as opposed to sideways or at an angle. the 28 oz is huge, has very handy measurement markings on the sides and feels quite solid. the lid screws on tightly. be sure to push the spigot cover down until you hear it snap into place (made the mistake once of not fully securing it and ended up with a mess around the room on the first shake). very durable, a drop isn't going to send the lid flying off in some direction and your ingredients all over the floor. clean up is easy enough by hand, a drop of dish soap, few ounces of hot water, lid on, shake a bit, lid off, rinse everything and onto the drying rack. very happy with this shaker bottle, the rest are already donated away. going to pick up a few more for gifts. can easily recommend this to anyone who wants to thoroughly mix up a drink.

This is an update. I originally was less than pleased with the shaker bottle; if you read below you’ll find that my bottle leaked - badly. The manufacturer reached out to me and kindly offered to send a replacement item which - after two weeks of use now - has performed leak-free. The lid screws down much more smoothly and the cover on the drinking spout clicks firmly closed with little effort (neither of these actions were smooth in the earlier, flawed item). As I said, to date I have been leak-free. The bottles - old and new - both admirably perform for mixing whey powder and other additives into my drinks, and I am pleased to have one that is leakproof now. I still don’t see the kind of “100%” mixing that is hinted at in the product advertisement, but it is still much better than I have ever achieved using a “wire ball” shaker. Usually the unmixed portion is just a few bits clinging to the inside of the lid or bottle (I’d call it “99% mixing”). Earlier review: As a mixing bottle, this actually does do a pretty decent job - not 100% mixing of powders, but pretty good overall, and better than any of the "wire ball" shakers I have used in the past. The downside is the incessant leaking; when shaken, it leaks around the threads and around the snap-spout. If they could have designed the lid better to prevent leaks, it would really be a great product. As it is, well, just don't shake up your protein drinks in a carpeted area, or near furniture, or around electronics...

I love this shaker bottle. I bought it for protein shakes and it mixes them perfectly without needing a spoon or ball. Super easy to clean too - just fill with soap and water and shake it again. The plastic feels solid, has no odor or taste and been through the dishwasher with no issues. Before I bought it, I mixed shakes by hand and the powder didn't always mix right and the spoon had residue on it. Now, it's so easy to use that I'd never go back. At first I thought it was a little pricey, but it is worth it.

I’ve been using this for about two months now, and I can say that I will never return to the typical ball-in-bottle shaker. This thing is amazing - there are absolutely no leaks, and my protein blends smoothly every single time. I have not had any clumps or grit, and the bottle itself is feels pretty darn rugged. This was money well spent.

Was choosing between a traditional shaker with a metal ball and this one with the vortex mixing design. Went with Helimix and glad I did. Got the bigger size so I can make 400ml shakes — fills about half the bottle, which gives enough room to mix properly. I pour milk first, then add a scoop of protein. About 10 shakes and it's completely smooth, no clumps. Best part — super easy to clean. Just rinse with water right after drinking and you're done. No ball to lose, no weird corners where powder gets stuck. Simple, works great, easy to clean. Exactly what a shaker should be.
