Vevor overhead stirrers?
Has anyone used them? They are very well priced but I’m wondering if that means they will fall apart quickly? I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles in terms of automation and connecting to computers etc. I’d be upgrading from a hand held kitchen mixer so I just literally need the mixing capabilities to be solid.
Thank you all! -

Might help if you put the link in.
Many of the Chinese product will be sold under 20 different names…so if someone can actually see it….they can say….Oh…I had that one (under one of the 19 other names)… and it was _______!

Ah, thank you @Graillotion!
Here are the two units I’m deciding between: -
I had this one (still have) under different name before I bought IKA.
It’s not top quality but useable.
Now it has rust at the neck where you attach the blade’s shaft, maybe I didn’t do maintaining well.
Not sure about capacity - Maximum I have made is only 1 kg low viscosity body wash.
Note - I am only at DIY level, mostly testing fragrance, gel, serum, body wash, rarely make emulsion.

The bare-bones ones made in China, available through everyone’s favorite retailer, are perfectly fine for amateur-ish use. Many go up to 3000RPM (depending on the viscosity, of course), while most IKAs max out at 2000RPM. Mine was only $100 or so, but I will admit it is quite fugly. The next step up is something like ONiLAB, for about $400 or so, which are at least nice-looking units — although I think they only go up to 130 watts or so, and I’m not sure the extent to which that affects torque vs the one you are citing with 200W. I had not heard of Vevor before today, nor do I know how it compares vs the ONiLAB.
