Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Typhoon Frother, Buick Red
Customer Review: For a few dollars more...
Summary: 1 Stars
I have used several different frothers over the past few years, usually paying between $19 - $29 each for them. Of the battery-powered frothers I have owned, each provided excellent results with daily use for about a year until they finally gave out. Since I have had such good results with the frothers that I bought in the past, I naively assumed they were all the same, so why pay $19 when the Typhoon limousine is only $5? While the Limousine will eventually foam hot milk to an almost-acceptable level, it takes several minutes of meticulous nurturing to get it there. Better frothers will whip enough milk for two lattes in about 30 seconds. It is also obvious that the weak little Limousine is just waiting for an excuse to expire completely. I can't really complain because I feel as though I got what I paid for at $5.
So, I'm considering my Limousine purchase an inexpensive lesson learned and I'm buying a new frother. I've had the Bonjour Bonjour Cafe Latte Milk Frother, Vanilla White in the past and was pleased with the quality and quickness of it's foam and it's longevity. Or perhaps I'll go "green" and get another canister-type frother like the "Roma" Milk / Cappuccino Frother (30 Fl. Oz/ 0.88 l). I've had one of these in the past and regretfully gave it to a friend who fell in love with it. It works super-fast (a couple of quick plunges on the knob and your milk is whipped to meringue-like consistency), is so solid that it will undoubtedly work for years and requires no batteries. The only downside is that it takes a good six ounces of milk to work properly, way too much for my usual single cappuccino. The little Shin Bistro Milk Frother By Bodum is almost as good as the Roma and operates on less milk, but cannot be used on the stovetop.
Ultimately, I've used, and liked almost every frother on the market. The only one I wouldn't buy again or recommend to a friend is the Typhoon Limousine.

Whip up cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate and milkshakes in seconds. Stainless steel food grade whisk head, easy to use and easy to clean. Not suitable for dishwashers.Part of Typhoon's Retro Revolution line of kitchenware, this frother whimsically unites a classic look with modern functionality.

Meanwhile, the wide plastic handle fits neatly into the palm with rounded edges and a pleasantly sturdy feel. The entire frother stores easily in a drawer or stands on end between uses to keep work surfaces clean. Displayed on the counter, it really shows off its glossy, vibrant finish and whimsical personality. Add the frother to a full Retro décor or mix and match with more traditional pieces for a wonderfully eclectic look. It comes in a range of striking colors. This piece is easily cleaned by hand washing with soap and water. --Kara Karll
