LAB FISH Laboratory Magnetic Stirrer 1800PRM Magnetic Mixer Max Stirring 3000ml Capacity Stir Plate with Stir Bar Egg for Lab and Homebrew

My old stirrer was starting to get flaky and died completely yesterday. Figured I'd give an inexpensive stirrer a try and ordered one. It came in next day and immediately put to use. I was a little worried initially because this thing is super light. Put a beaker on and turned it on.....amazing! Super stable spin...way better than my old one, and a 1/4 the cost. So 5 stars....works very well and has more than enough power for my uses. I may get a second one to save some time on my day to day stir sessions.

I purchased this out of ongoing frustration with a competing item that was literally only a few dollars cheaper. Below is a list of all of the items this stirrer aces, and which the marginally cheaper version bombed.1. The top plate thoughtfully has its center clearly marked, making it VERY easy to align the center of the container whose contents are to be stirred and the stir bar directly over the magnetic center. This eliminates small and light containers from being jostled into a new position if one had to guess at the actual physical center position.3. The stir bar starts moving when the unit is turned on, even at its slowest speed. Lesser models require turning to a sufficiently high speed for the stir bar to "catch", then the speed turned down to something usable.4. The power jack is high quality, and the included power supply appears to be very high quality as well5. This unit is basically silent! Compared to others with loud motors, this just spins the stir bar in almost complete silence.The quality of this unit belies its low price. The packaging, the magnetic stir bars, and stir bar retriever tool are also much higher quality than I'd expected, and I'm VERY impressed with quality and value of this stirrer.

Perfect fit for 2L lab beaker. Very economical/space-efficient and gets the job done well. I did order larger stirrers along with the order.

The functionality of the machine works perfect. Able to stir down things and use in my microscope very easy to use excellent value for the price point.

Works great
