Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aerolatte Milk Frother, Satin
Customer Review: Tires out too soon
Summary: 1 Stars
I started to drink loose leaf teas lately and have realized that instead of going to local chain for my chai lattes, I could make my own. So I have been drinking them at home and at work and realized I needed a second milk frother so I didn't have to bring it back and forth all the time.
The original one I own was a gift and I have no idea where it came from. At least I found out what brand it was after my Aerolatte started failing.
I have a Melitta frother that was powerful and lasted a long time on batteries and thought I may try to find one here and if there was a better one. I read the reviews and decided to try this one.
I have used it a few times and noticed that it's nowhere near as powerful so I changed the batteries. It was decent and within a week, the speed cut down a lot. It didn't really froth so much as stir but even my previous unit still holds up better.
Now I will tell you how I used it since it was not the 'traditional' way.
I make my chai, add honey and start stirring with the frother in it. I slowly add creamer and then bring the frother to the top to start the frothing.
The Aerolatte is slowed a lot by the liquid which may make sense since some of you may say that it's only for the milk when you have it seperated and heated.
All I can say is, that if my Melitta was able to handle it and keep going, I would expect more from Aerolatte than just a week of use to just run out of juice.
I'm also not thrilled with the placement of the switch. It's hard to turn on and off with one hand and it's not smooth. The awkwardness leads to spills as I tried to turn it off while in the liquid as opposed to taking it out to get better grip to slide the power switch.
I'd rather have a button that does 3 modes: On while you hold button halfway, Stays On after fully pressing button, and Off.
This unit is not as easy to use nor anywhere near as convenient.
I'm sending mine back as I can't afford to change batteries every week.
Yes, I thought about buying a rechargable battery charger devoted to charging the batteries for this item, but that would have cost more than this unit is worth by a lot. In the end, no matter if I would keep changing the rechargeable batteries, it still would be weaker and simply not worth it when compared to my Melitta.
When I go the rechargeable route, I will do it with a better and more powerful frother and thus enjoy it for longer.
I normally don't write bad reviews but maybe this could help someone think twice.
Many people seem happy with this unit and I am happy for them.
Sadly, my experience was not as good.
In the end, your experience with this unit may vary, but if you do take a chance on this, I at least hope your experience is a good one.
Description of Aerolatte Milk Frother, Satin
Frothing milk has never been easier than when using the Aerolatte, a stylish and convenient hand held frother. Attractively designed with a chrome finish, it operates on two included AA batteries to quickly froth milk, and does not rely on steam. It's small size makes it highly portable and easy to store, and is especially great for frothing individual cups.This cute handheld milk frother is fun and easy to use; British celebrity chef Nigella Lawson recommends it over steam-driven frothers. Plus, in addition to its most popular use--creating delicate foam for homemade cappuccinos, lattes, or hot chocolates-- the Aerolatte milk frother can be used for other, equally yummy treats. An enclosed recipe sheet offers ideas for fruit "shakes" and coffee frappes that can be made with any kind of cow, goat, sheep, soy or rice milk! Some restaurant chefs even froth milk to foam garnish earthy soups.
The frother is easy to use, with a simple black toggle button to turn it on. Hold the stainless steel head just below foam level to keep froth building. The shape of the steel-toned, satin-finished handle is curved in the right places and flattened on the sides for a comfortable grip. When it's time to replace the batteries, a black ridged cover slides off to reveal the battery chamber. (It?s important to use alkaline batteries with the Aerolatte milk frother.)
To clean, turn the frother on and dip the whisk in hot soapy water; rinse well, and turn again briefly to spin dry. Wipe the handle with a damp cloth; do not immerse handle in water. The whisk is not removable from the battery handle. The milk frother measures 8-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches. Two AA alkaline batteries are included, as well as a recipe and instruction sheet. Aerolatte guarantees the Original Steam-Free frother for five years. --Garland Withers
