LIVIVORetro Milkshake Maker 100W – Grey Electric Drink Mixer with 500ml Stainless Steel Cup – Ideal for Milk Frothing, Frappe, Iced Coffee, Protein Shakes, Smoothies, Macchiato, Pancake Batter

I like milkshakes, so I took the plunge to buy it & I'm glad I did.Today (13/09/22), I got some vanilla ice cream out of the freezer & carved enough out with a spoon to fill it up to about a 3rd of the jug. I then put 3 heaped tablespoons (next time I'll drop it to 2) of Nesquik chocolate powder into it & then covered it with milk, so that it's just under half full.I mixed it using the 1st setting, which does most of it, but some ice cream was still in lumps which is where the 2nd speed was used, to blend it out fully.I poured it into a glass to check for any remaining lumps & then back into the blender for 1 last whiskI'm now sitting with a chocolate milkshake, which isn't perfect yet, until I sort out the amounts of each item, but it's still much better than putting milk & Nesquik into a glass & trying to mix it by hand.I'd recommend this to anyone, as it's not expensive but does the job well enough.Just make sure you don't fill it up too much, as there's no cover/lid to keep contents inside.Halfway in the jug makes about half a pint :)

Edit: Coming back after 2 years, I still use this machine regularly and love it a lot. For the money, it still makes a great frappe... but you have to know how to make a frappe! For the initiated:1. Get yourself some instant freeze-dried coffee. I use Kenco Millicano Americano which all the supermarkets have.2. Add a spoonful of this, a little bit of water (maybe 100 ml max) and a few icecubes and beat until it's a foam.3. Decant this into a glass.4. Wash the metal mug, then add 50ml milk and a few icecubes5. Mix this until it foams up6. Decant into the glassObviously, if you don't like milk just double up the quantity of water. Sugar can be added at either stage.If you put too much liquid it will of course splash around... go conservatively when trying it, to avoid massive spillage.Original review: I've had a chance to use this mixer for the last 2 months, and it is really good at making frappes and other cold beverages. Stick in a lump of ice, your coffee, and your water, and it'll soon have it whipped to a froth. I was skeptical, I will admit, that this mixer could handle solid ice - not a problem at all however.A tip on cleaning: it's true that you can't remove the little mixer stick in order to wash it; what you CAN do, though, is fill the cup with water (soapy water, if you want), stick it back on the mixer and give it a little whirl. All your cleaning is done.This is a very good looking kitchen appliance, very practical, and at the price, very easy to recommend.

Nice works as it should looks lovely in my drinks corner

It makes an excellent frappe.

First of all I dont write reviews normally but felt inclined to for this.(I'd also like to mention i have had this machine for like 2days thus far so can't speak for how long it will last)I was on the market for a milkshake machine as I do love a milkshake! Read up on this and thought I'd give it a punt and let me tell you not disappointed. I read the reviews on here and although some weren't great let me tell you I'm well happy with this product. To be clear I brought it solely for making milkshakes and nothing else and it does that perfectly in my opinion. Cant speak for anything else but if you want the kind of milkshake brought from a restaurant/diner for £25 you can't go wrong with this. The only gripe I would have is the mixing arm isn't detachable which means you can't take it off and clean it having said that you can just throw some water in the mixing cup and blast it after every use so not the end of the world.

So far so go. However I have only used it a couple of times and the motor seemed to get really hot.Doesn’t look like it will last long, but makes a nice milkshake.

Great glasses infact when I move out of my daughters I might but some more

Even a star is more than enough for this milkshake. It doesn’t really work as it should the description it doesn’t fully match the product. The product looks like a piece of plastic like a toy mostly even a toy milkshake her is more powerful than this one. it was totally a product of money waster I wouldn’t recommend this one.
