Black & Decker GDM200 Gizmo Tip 'N Mix Automatic Salad Dressing Mixer

This Gizmo seems a little gimmicky, but it is great for my oil and vinegar based dressing that separates in a few minutes after it is mixed. It is powerful enough to mix it while somewhat hard from being in the refrigerator and continues stirring while pouring. The last dressing is as good as the first because it stays mixed and all ingredients are used proportionately.

I've owned 2 of these. After 3 months, the second one is shot again. The motor is too weak to support the primary funtion of this tool, which is to mix oil, a heavier liquid than vinegar, so when you mix your vinaigrette, it's putting too much pressure on the GIZMO. The invention is a great idea, but it should be plugged into an electrical outlet. APPLICA, which supposedly fixes these - doesn't anymore - I was told to get it recycled, end of story. PLEASE, do not purchase this or any other battery operated mixer. THEY GIVE OUT IN NO TIME!

Love it for making my own low cal vinegarette salad dressing!

very good product

This is probably the silliest kitchen item I've ever purchased. I'll continue to use the cruets with measured markings for dressings, but the battery-powered base is so wimpy that it hardly moves the dressing, even with three new batteries. It's also a bit disconcerting to have it stir while pouring, while making its silly little whirring sound. It just doesn't do a good enough job to be worth buying.

Cool item! Keeps your dressings from separating for full taste effect. I like that the batteries were actually INCLUDED. Nice to have few tasty recipes right there on the stylish bottle and the nifty little measure cup built into the cap. Nice design work.

This product does not deserve any stars. It does not work. Very disappointed.
