Well I finally got to use my Robart Paint shaker(from mircomart) that I received for Christmas. I was able to shake 2 Vallejo bottles on the 3rd the whole shaker cradle flew off Angry. the part that held it on has retreated inside the housing and I m unable to reattach it. Very disappointing in this product and will have to contact micromart to see what can be done. back to hand shaking Sad |

I have no idea what happen it just flew off. The cradle area has a square hole in the bottom and the is a male counter part in the housing box that I fits in. The trouble is the square peg has gone back into the house and will not stay out so you can not push the cradle back onto it. Hope your works better. |

Wow. That sucks. Mine has been holding strong so far, but the rubber part degrades pretty quickly. I use rubber bands now instead. |

Have you contacted either Micromark or Robart about a replacement? I had a problem with Micromark's 4 blade saw handle separating from the blade. I contacted Micromark and they directed me to Zona for a replacement, which came in about a week after notification. |

A BB dropped into a bottle with paint and shaken by hand works pretty good for me. Sorry about the device breakdown. |

I've had mine for three years and is still working fine. I could put a BB in bottle when I shake it too. lots of products break, the're called lemons. Write back to MicroMark they're pretty good company, maybe they'll send you a refund or new device. For bigger bottles such is half pints of Minwax dip I use a mini drink mixer.

I have had mine for over 3 years as well. I don't use it daily but often enough on some of my vallejo paints. I'm on my second rubber strap but otherwise no real issues. |

Bad luck. I've had mine for over 7 years and never had a problem; it's still going strong. I use it loosen up paints that have been sitting for awhile; running it for 3 minutes per bottle. I then manually shake for another minute or two so I can feel when the paint has sufficiently liquified. |
