Hi,
Well, for $37.95, I expected a lot more life out of the thing. I used it to shake at most three dozen bottles and probably closer to two dozen and now it is broken. I shook each bottle for 5 minutes and so that is about three hours service. With tax and shipping that works out to more than $15/hour. It did a good job with the shaking but for that price, I think I can hire a neighbourhood kid to do it for me. I'll be sending them a letter and I hope they will see their way clear to send me another one free of charge. The marginal cost of producing these must be very low. I looked inside the thing and it might be possible to get a replacement motor, which I would be willing to do if I had the thing for a decent length of time but like I say, maybe thirty bottles worth of shaking, not worth it. Anyone else have an opinion on the quality of these things?
Cheers,
Jim

I have had mine over a year... maybe 2. The only problem I have had is that the little strap that holds the bottles on broke. They sell them for $1.00 and I got a couple with my last order. Other than that I love it. I have the battery version.
