Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, I was NOT offered a discount for my opinion like a lot of the ones I see, but I'll give one anyway, simply because of some of the negative reviews. The PowerLix feels solid and yes, it is powerful so yes, it has the ability to both mix powder drinks AND sling foam out of the cup. In fact, I momentarily redecorated by kitchen with little foam spots all over the place the first time I used it. But like making a fine cup of coffee, there's an art to using the PowerLix and once you figure it out (probably the second time you use it), it absolutely does the job. My technique is to do it in short bursts, hovering on top for no longer than one second, then pushing it down to the bottom until the milk cyclone tries to jump out of the cup. Timing is everything. I'd much rather have one powerful enough to mix powder and have to scale it back for milk frothing than have one that can barely make it through milk without slowing down and burning the motor up after a few uses. This should last for quite some time.
