what is the Best heavy duty shaker, for liquid meals post/during workouts?
I need something that wouldn't spill, drip, open up in my bag, even after heavy usage and would be easy to wash.

thanks

I've had absolutely no problems with this one, which I can't say about any others I've used:

Go big or go home. This is by far the best shaker bottle you'll ever buy. It comes with a little metal ball thingy that shakes up the drink. The plastic is very very thick, unlike the other ones out there. The threads for screwing on the lid are very wide and thick, ensuring a snug fit every time. The snap-on spout cover is super thick too. When you snap that lid shut it feels like closing a german car door, snug and solid.

This is like Rubbermaid versus Always Save.


The Blender Bottle!

Set of Four for only 20 dollars! It's INSANE!!!

There was that one (I think BB sells it) that has the powder compartment so you could for instance show up to the gym with say Vendetta in the shaker ready to drink and have your post shake powder in the compartment for later. I think it had a spiral blue ice type thing on the bottom as well. I kinda liked the concept, dunno if it worked well or not though.

I've got several of the cheap ones from Mike. The problem I have with them is the lids have gaskets that want to fall out so you can almost never get them in right.

I rarely use the lids anyway since I drink 99.9% of my shakes in the kitchen so they shape does work good for mixing up the stuff with a stick blender, they are also handy to have around as extra measuring cups since they're graduated on the side.

With the Blender bottle you don't have to mess with blending any other way. It comes with it's own wire wisk ball. It's ridiculously awesome. It has no gasket either, because it was designed to not need one, that's how frickin awesome this thing is...

This thread should be locked and a link to the 20 dollar blender bottle offer should be used in it's place. IT's THAT FRICKIN GOOD!

For a truly high quality product that will last a long time, I don't think that is expensive. Quit complaining.

alright, you got me

just ordered the set of 4

they better not suck!!!

Haha, Eclypz loves his Blender bottle.
I'll have to see about getting one of these.

My DPS one is about 2 years old and never had a problem, it looks like ass but still works. I'm gonna try the blender bottle though.

Use coupon code Code #608901 for $10 off of $30 for new HSN customers.


Eh...couldn't get it to work but I bit on the bottles anyways. I'm tired of shitty O-rings.

Really? Because I have tons of those. I get one free with every order. They work for about a month, and then I throw it out due to leaks and such.

Not mentioned, but very inexpensive - powered mixers. I have a powered mixer that holds upto 20-oz servings. The motor, powered by 4 AA batteries, is in the lid, driving a y-shaped shaft that provides very even and thorough mixing of all powders and additives.

I, too, tried various manual shakers that gave uneven mixing results when thick powders are used. I like this one, because I can use disposable plastic or heavy duty paper cups, and easily clean the mixing shaft under running water.

I keep one at my gym and one at home. The version I have now is VitaMinder Personal Power Mixer, retails for $12.99 and can be bought for less on sale, through various national supplement suppliers (VitaminWorld, etc).

just got my set of 4...will try one tonight but suspect there may be a gasket in the lid...

wisk ballz.

I have four or five of those DPS ones.

I think Im about done with them, because one of them opened up in my backpack and destroyed all my physio and biochem notes.



20$ for four you say? hmmm.....what do they use in place of the o-ring gasket?

I use a tippy cup. 98 cents at walmart. Never leak, wide mouth makes it easy to scoop powders into. And they come in different colors

The threading on these are much thicker, which negates the need for a rubber seal. I bit the bullet, and it was well worth the 20 bucks. Leaky shakers piss me off to no end.

Aren't those called sippy cups?

I bit.

Hope these live up to the hype.

I have had the same turbo shaker for over 5 years. It doesn't leak and takes seconds to clean. Also is dishwasher safe. I have the 16 oz but here's a link to the 24 http://www.dpsnutrition.net/product_inform...=1480&last=1480

I've got three of those. I've had them for 4 years or so and they still don't leak.

Dio, when I see a shaker with a bottom that has all sorts of ridges I think of glued whey protein, impossible to remove. how d oyou clean the bottom fins on your shaker?

The description says it made of a "space age material", presumably, nonstick surface type.

It would have to be nonstick to avoid hydrophobic material entrapment and avoid microbial growth.

Though I haven't ever thought about it previously, I've never had whey stuck to the bottom of those shakers where as the standard shakers I have always do. I clean mine with a scrub brush as my 85 yr old house has no dishwasher.

So I just ordered some of those blender bottles from HSN. I can't wait to use them!

been using these for a few days

they are the best shakers that i have ever used

good call eclypz

Got my blender bottles last week, tried them out today, they work great! Thanks for the link.

I put some dish detergent and warm water in it and then I shake it. As long as it hasn't sat too long (and dried) it comes right out. Anything that's ever stuck there comes out with a sponge, but I rarely have had to do this.

It's also dishwasher safe. One other thing I like about it is that there's only two pieces. For some reason most of the newer ones include screens, washers and other stuff that you have to worry about.

mine came in last week as well -Love them! Since I use 3-4 meal replacement shakes a day, the bottles were a wise investment

I'm gonna order some Blender Bottles soon. They look like they work well.

I was using the Rubber Maid 32oz bottles with a snap-on lid. They work reasonably well, but the top of the lid snaps off after a while.

I got my order of four bottles the other day too. I already own a red one and it's always won out whenever I needed to make a shake.

I actually went through the house and threw away all my other shaker bottles just to save space. IT's THAT FRICKIN GOOD!

i did the same thing bro. Just blender bottles for me. I was in GNC the other night and they were selling them for 9.95 a piece ARE THEY INSANE. Oh wait of course that was after he told me the 44.99 price for a 20 pack of myoplex was the best price i could find anywhere- Why do people still pay retail for supplements!

I know this is going to sound kinda nerdy, but I am so sick of having numerous shaker bottles with seals that are impossible to get in without them twisting and jumping back out, I am going to measure the seal seat and order actual silicone o-rings that are the right size.

I can get em for a buck each (they are the real thing, precision silicone o-rings), but it just seems so stupid to go that far. It's a reasonable alternative though when you don't want to buy any more shakers that leak. Perhaps I'll try the one with the heavy duty plastic and no seal required instead.

As for cleaning, if you put in a spoonful (or two) of Arm & Hammer WASHING SODA detergent booster (not baking soda, this stuff is one of the "power" ingredients in dishwasher detergent, and the box is yellow, not orange), and add hot water to it (stir), it should all come out after about 15 minutes. I use that stuff to clean the nastiest crud off of dishes. 95% of the time it's all I use in the dishwasher and the dishes come out flawless. It won't etch glasses over time either, like the silicates they add to the regular detergents (silicates are a sort of superfine abrasive).

Got mine yesterday. Haven't used it yet.

Alright guys, id greatly appreciate blender bottle reviews...........

I always just have to spray my sippy cups out. Just hot water. And I mix whey protein, fiber, and sometimes synthesize all at the same time in there.

Just .98 cents guys. Come in pink and blue.

I have an awesome story to go along with this thread. I at one time thought i was being poisoned by the kitchen staff a long while ago when i used to work at a eating establishment. Working there, its automatic that you get your lunch from the chefs for free (if you were popular...lol). But then i started to get ill after every meal. And i mean ILL. I figured it was one of the kitchen guys hating on me. I was sick everyday after my meal for a week. So i stopped eating food prepared by the kitchen....and i still got sick. Turns out my shaker bottle was so damn hard to wash, i had been missing a spot, and being that some protein is milk derived....you guesed it. I was poisoning myself with my own protein.....lol.

Classy.

I tried those once but everytime I took it to the gym the ladies that worked in the nursery would come out and take them thinking a kid left it out there...


sorry dude.

These things are truly awesome. Thanks for bringing them to our awareness!

I have been using the Under armor bottle for about a year without any leaks or dripping. they are like $10 at Dicks with a small crew lid. My only complaint is the mouth is small so I have to funnel the powders into the bottle with a cut-in-half bottle of water. This does the trick just fine.

we searched out and found the most leakproof shaker bottles and had ergopharm printed on them. we have a bunch at HQ in champaign

these blender bottles are the best! they mix the best and will never leak! i just trash all my others now.

gotta mention this one:
http://www.nutraplanet.com/product_info.ph...products_id=392

these things are IMO brilliant - solid, rigid, light-weight, dishwasher-safe, leak-proof, easy to clean. I've given away several and they've been instant hits. I have 3 & use them every day.

Your conduct is certainly befitting of a potential Women's Board moderator.

I bought one of the Blender Shakers. Can't wait to get it. Thanks for the info.

these things are amazing - excellent for mixing all sorts of powders - MRPs, whey, isolate, bcaa, etc. they do not leak and i've not had any problems/washing drying.

the whisk ball is a great idea and i'll probaby use it in my nalgene bottles as well.

good call eclypz.

damn me and eclypz we started a revolution. good things I wasn't sattisfied with my shitty bottles. my 4 are on the way

ordered mine yesterday, hope these things are good. im so sick of crappy shakers. thanks for the linkage.

I've thrown away every other shaker I own. These things have no O-ring to deal with and don't leak a drop. The blending is superb.
