This Great Paint Mixer Is Now Sold In The US - Vortex Mixer - Amazon

[@John-vi4ys]

I had a $100+ mixer ordered on Amazon and after a month waiting, it still hadn’t shipped. While I kept waiting I watched your video on the Typhoon and I cancelled my Amazon order, and bought a Typhoon that showed up on my doorstep in 3 days. They have awesome customer service and it’s built like a tank, I couldn’t be more happy. When I ordered it, they asked where I found them and I told them by watching your videos and they were happy to hear that.

[@zacklewis342]

Holy hell, $106! PlazaJapan is selling them for $39 and the regular retail price is $46.48. Even with shipping to TX it's only $58!

[@john9801]

[@LangJones]

That's how I got mine.

[@eblkheart]

Thank you!!!!

Was out of model car building for 60 years, got back in a little over a year ago. Things have changed a lot. Checked out couple model car sites and they were airbrushing there cars. Knew nothing about airbrushing and started searching for info and found your site. Not only took the mystery out of airbrushing, guns, compressors, paints and tools. Subscribed first thing. You do a great job explaining things. I’ve purchased a lot of things you’ve recommended. I bought the four Es. It’s great. I just bought the Vortex mixer because of the hands free clamp on Amazon so for sure I over paid. Amazon prices have become ridiculous, but I go there for the free shipping and mostly good delivery. Anyway, I love your site, it’s been very helpful, and you speak clearly so I can understand you. Some of these other sites the southern accent

[@Repairman87]

These are great. I have tendinitis in my elbow so shaking paint bottles is murder. I have the 4E's one. Best hobby money spent in a long time.

[@adammotter]

Very interested in this simply because most mixers can have long term wrist damage and I want to avoid aggravating my carpal tunnel as much as possible. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@doublenickelbob]

I bought this after seeing this video. Got it Saturday and wow I love it.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes

[@HuntingHeresy]

I bought one and tried it with Dirty Down Rust! OMG it mixed it up in under a minute. Only a few small bits of gel left. THANK YOU for making this video. My joints are forever grateful.

[@ClarenceObert]

I got the 4e after watching your vid and recommendation. Best investment in the hobby business I have ever made. If this had been available back then, I would have purchased ... but can't justify the cost now. Thanks for the update though. Can't wait for your acrylic line to come out ... especially if you can come out with a true chrome color. Thanks...

[@woodman29]

Barbatos I love mine I actually use a rubber band wrapped around the clamps and paint so it doesn’t fly out while mixing! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@lylebriggs923]

Looking for to seeing your video of your new paint line

[@timlatham7402]

After seeing you test it the first time I hunted one down on eBay. Now it's the only mixer I use, Love it!

[@teddyjones8027]

Getting closer and closer to the 100K !!!!!! Thank you for sharing hope the family is doing great. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@barbatosrex9473]

God Bless you Teddy

[@paulsawyer2326]

Oh man! I just ordered the paint mixer from Green Stuff World and this mixer which is a game changer in my opinion. Love the fact you can mix paint hands free! This looks great to have.

[@oOo0oOo0oOo]

I think you are the greatest and most valuable resource for anyone interested in airbrushing at any level. Thank you for the honest and realistic reviews of any and everything. Incredible dedication and work, thank you so much for the help.

[@markwakeley3835]

That's a nice mixer. Hands free is the big selling pount for me. I'll definitely get one. Thanks Robert.

[@bobrivett7645]

Hey this is a really cool paint shaker, but I bought the 4-E's last year and I'm very happy with it. New BR air brush, can't wait to see that video Thanks for this video. Really like these product tip vid'. Have a great day Robert.

[@MrDavidfball]

brought one of these after the 1st review, I have the 4e's mixer but have limited space to use it, works great glad its available again I got mine from Plazajapan and have used it non stop ever since tbh

[@carlosmadrigal4939]

I absolutely Love your videos Thank you so much😊

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you Carlos

[@joelbowman8017]

It rocks! I live mine.

[@willmuckel9131]

I was able to resist for 12 minutes before I bought this.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great purchase, you won't regret it

[@FJA---]

I have a 4E's and one of these Vortex Mixers. Use the 4e's for mixing things that are hard to get mixed and the Vortex on the desktop for a quick shake. I got mine for somewhere between $65 & $75. Can't remember where I got it from. But it really is a good unit and works perfectly.

[@jameshicks3046]

Thank you for your reviews, I bought the Green Stuff World Mixer you reviewed and am very happy with it!

[@sgt-slag]

I use blue painter's tape, wrapped around a jig saw blade, to attach my paint bottles to the blade and the Jig Saw. This shakes them up/down super-fast, mixing incredibly thoroughly. I got a Jig Saw at an estate sale for $10 (Harbor Freight has one new, for $22), $5 for a 2-pack of wood cutting blades, and another $5 for a roll of blue tape. Been using this to mix my craft paint bottles for several years. Works superbly, for very little money. Not as convenient as this unit, but the price is much lower for equivalent mixing performance. Cheers!

[@rodneyleblanc9790]

I watched the original video on this vortex mixer, and got one. It is the only mixer I have, and I love it. I think it was mentioned the low speed that can be used to keep a metallic paint mixed until ready for the airbrush, another great feature. For me, it was well worth the cost. LOVE IOT!!!

[@jordansra10c92]

Just picked up. Have been needing one.

[@ricksattler682]

New airbrush!? Looking forward to seeing that! 😊

[@danmaher7947]

Thanks for this. Just ordered one. Will be here tomorrow. I’ve been waiting a long time for someone to come out with a decent mixer. Great demonstration.

[@BuzzkillZone]

The intro music was just way too loud. I woke up my roommates. I turned it down, then found out the dialog was too quiet. So you might want to make sure the volume of the intro matches the volume of the rest of the video. Otherwise, thank you for the video. This stirrer looks much better than all of the other stirrers.

[@sgtatarms4780]

Thank you again for such a wonderful informative video on new equipment

[@mrsupaconducta]

I've been wanting a mixer that i could just pop in the paint and turn it on.

[@jerryburton3846]

So I know this review has come and gone. But I ordered this paint mixer and recently got it. This little mixer is legit! This is by far now my new favorite mixer and I do own the two other mixer that Barbados Rex has reviewed on his channel Typhoon and Four e S. This one does an amazing job of actually mixing the paint thoroughly on first try where the other it takes more than tries and it accepts most bottle types. I super stoke with it. I just wish now the made a pint size one! This one of the reason why I follow this channel. You find some golden nuggets!

[@barbatosrex9473]

You are correct my friend, this mixer is awesome. Glad you like it 👍

[@bobkay9260]

I have been enjoying your videos for some time now. I ordered this mixer a few weeks ago and i absolutely love it! It is quiet, and really does the job as you showed here. It came complete with a power supply and cable. I do like the auto shut off feature after it runs for about 2 minutes unattended. The unit mixes metalics perfectly and it even resurrected some older metallics i have to my delight. Thank you for your reviews!

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome buddy 👍

[@user-justmyself1701]

I have the 4 E's and I love it. Makes the awful job of shaking so much easier.

[@ericchristopher1687]

Just bought one - thanks for the tip and review!

[@kristophermorgan2302]

Very interested to here news of your upcoming acrylic line.

[@CharlieO_]

Added to my list, thanks! When you put that hex-shaped pot in the mixer and started following the pattern, I thought you might go full Jodie Foster from Contact on us! 🤣 It's Prime Numbers, Robert!

[@scottbuildsthemall5124]

Well, once again I find something that I can no longer live without in a KZbin video. Mine was delivered this past Thursday and I absolutely love it! It is quick, efficient, and hands free.

[@brianwills4398]

Join the club, seems like I'm on Amazon after watching every video..

[@treborrrrr]

If you want to get a bottle of paint to really give these machines a good test, try some Dirty Down Verdigris for example. That "paint" requires that you shake the absolute hell out of them. The sediment at the bottom of the bottle sticks there really bad.

[@robertthompson6707]

I bought the Typhon. Love it!!

[@vincepugliese911]

Informative as always. What about a review of the 'new' Atom paints from Ammo?

[@sarahjune8707]

Nice option

[@craiglush5239]

This looks very well built. Thank you so much for the review on this mixer, I just purchased it.

[@markmorris2207]

I love gadgets! What a magnificent idea to use the hair-comb looking thing with the heavy duty spring! Thanks for showing us this!

[@Saand1338]

Any chance you could add a GW Citadel paint to the next paint mixer tests/showcases you do mate? They're awkwardly sized & shaped, and are hell to mix properly when they settle out. I suspect the Vortex Stirrer will handle them just fine so I'm going to pick one up, I've got a bunch of GW paints that take several minutes to reconstitute on one of those science lab test tube mixers.

[@ramonosuke]

Took a bit of break from painting, but next month I may grab it when I get back into it. Bought the table lamp you recommended and absolutely love it, so will definitely keep this in mind

[@linkpoison5511]

Nice mixer!!!

[@RuthlessMojo]

Hey Rex. Much like yourself iv’e been looking for mixers to review. I just purchased a fingernail polish shaker from Amazon and it works great for hobby paint bottles. I paid $30 AUS for it and I think it’s actually good value for what it does. I’ve also ordered a handheld fingernail polish shaker to test as well. One last thing I want to try is getting a magnetic lab stirrer. I always put two bearing in my bottles so instead of using a magnetic stirring rod to mix the paint I will just magnetise the bearings and that should suffice. Another great video.

[@Grayhammer]

This thing is legit - also if you leave it running it will shut itself off after about a minute. Amazing mixer - all I use now

[@wolfman75]

👍😎 Thank You!!!!

[@blacknass1943]

very cool :) you need it ^^ if you hav mutch colors you need it ^^

[@GraphixJunkie]

Dude, this is weird. I just happened to search for a paint mixer today. I need something that holds the paint for me as I have injured my shoulder. I saw this on Amazon and had added it to my cart but was waffling on pulling the trigger. Then I happen to see you posted a new video today talking about the exact same thing! I deleted my cart and bought it using your link. Love your channel and positivity!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks for the support

[@fonarte]

Good thing these are available domestically even if it has to be Amazon. Because if you are unlucky like I was directly importing one from a seller in Japan and it's defective, you are basically SOL. I tried to take mine apart and basically destroyed it In the process. The damn thing is build like a reinforced jigsaw puzzle. So I bought another one and haven't gotten it yet. Hoping it won't be defective too. Vevor makes good little vortex mixers too if you want a cheap option. Just do NOT get the 6000rpm model. I have had the 3krpm model for 2 years and it worms great. Bought the high speed one thinking it would be better and mix faster. Turns out it's horribly designed with a motor that does not have enough torque under moderate pressure to spin up at all. Motor gets power but can't spin. Sometimes it will sometimes not. Before I got to that point I thought it was defective. Got a replacement and the same issue. After disassembling it and tearing down and doing testing did I figure out the motor issue. So I ended up mounting both halves of the mixer to a piece of wood so I can turn it on without pressure. It works ok for small items this way but is otherwise still garbage.

[@scifimodelshop]

Looks like a great paint mixer, I just got your new line of paints and can not wait to for the new metal line of paints my USS Franklin awaits

[@dingo3432]

I’ve been waiting for this mixer to drop in the states. I first saw it on a Japanese hobby channel and it was near impossible to find.

[@DaneSaysStuff]

It's been available stateside for several months.

[@davidrupp9089]

Just received my Vortex Turbo and I really like it! I’m trying to restore some acrylic paint that got dried out, and the Vortex seems to be really helpful in getting the paint mixed up to where I think I can salvage most of the jar of paint. Thanks for the review of a truly remarkable hands-free paint stirrer!

[@thurow37]

Let's go!! New airbrush city !! 😊

[@deanjohn9203]

Looks like a great mixer! I followed your Amazon link and found it'll arrive to my doorstep in 2-3 weeks... then I found the same unit that is Prime and I can get delivered Tomorrow!! Can't you link to those products instead?

[@voodoonights1671]

This is a great shaker by looks of it. Shame it's difficult to find. I'd bet good money that sooner or later one of those ball bearings will break a glass bottle. I did it with hand shaking one a while back. I'm off to find one 😅

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 🖌

[@Sikkasill]

New here, been watching for past month or so. Just want to say I love your videos and find myself interested in most of the things you talk about and show off. Just getting into airbrushing as a hobby and start diving into painting. So I have plenty of your videos to catch up on!

[@Deovin46AL]

I just got this on Prime Day. Finally had a chance to test it out this morning and like it so far. It's amazing how quiet it is. I got the Four E's on Black Friday and it's also pretty nice. I guess the Typhoon is next on my list! Edit: The suction cups stick pretty well to clean flooring tile.

[@vinnygallino5217]

I paid 65 on ebay free shipping from Japan and got it in about a week, after I saw your original video I had to have it I told a few other people about it they bought it as well and got it pretty fast as well

[@Lacunan]

Like others have said, I got one from Plaza Japan for around $40 plus shipping. Great option if you want to save around $40 on this great mixer.

[@pwnage402]

Barbatos, did you know the Four E’s brand has a clip from your video on their Amazon listing?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes they asked for my permission to use it

[@rickborland661]

One more thing, can you tell me we’re I can buy Tamiya acrylic paints for a reasonable price? Amazon is up to $3.80 for 23ml, which isn’t too bad, but they tack on $2.99 shipping per jar, which makes it too pricey for me and I’m a prime member.

[@stevecourtneyscalekustomz2602]

I need to get one of these

[@thehazmatguy480]

Another great video! I'm pretty happy with my 4E's mixer - I got that on Amazon days for like, $75 or $80. When my 4E's eventually fails ( it doesn't seem like it's going to be soon), I'll definitely give this one a try. Hands-free would be awesome.

[@lylebriggs923]

Nice little paint mixer but a bit out of my price range today

[@AsimPaints]

This looks great, but I've really been wanting something to mix standard size spray paint cans. I use them occasionally for larger 3D prints, or I often use them for clear coating. Know of anything that would work with them?

[@decadentdave]

4E’s is the best. Best investment I have made.

[@fabonline9389]

I agree. First one I owned. Mine is blue. Got a Typhon as well and it's a beast

Great video. I'm looking for a second mixer, for a separate hobby space. Saw this on Amazon Japan, but wasn't sure. Now I am thanks to your review. And living in Japan, I can get it for around 5500 yen (approx $35 US) as there are no import fees. It's usually the other way round 😀
