The helix shape reaches the corners and bottom of the can for uniform mixing throughout the container. It is the fastest mixer of its kind, and the polypropylene ensures easy cleaning. For best results use a low speed setting and make sure not to raise the mixing head above the surface of the liquid while spinning, to avoid spatter on clean surfaces.
