Recommendations on Stirrers
Hello,
I’m looking for recommendations from anyone who has used a Caframo or IKA stirrer. I’m currently deciding between the IKA Eurostar Digital 60 or 100 and the Caframo BDC 3030 or 1850.
If you’ve had experience with either brand, I’d appreciate any advice or insights to help me make the best choice.
Thank you!

We have the IKA Eurostar 60s and the 100s. They are workhorses and of the 3 I have I have had zero issues. One is even 12 years old and still problem free,

I have a lot of experience with the IKA stirrers. Upside: They are absolute workhorses. Good at high-viscosity applications (with a suitable impeller, of course) and they have a great selection of impellers for many different applications. Downside: Some of their fancier impellers can be a bit pricey. So long as the shaft diameter is the same and the shaft length is similar, impellers are interchangeable, though. You can mix and match brands.
I’m not particularly familiar with the Caframo stirrers, but holy moly they put out a ton of torque. That extra torque will come in handy if you are using a really big impeller and / or stirring something very viscous.
