I also use a vortex 2 stir plate which has a larger surface area and a faster spinner but a weaker magnet

The ad doesnt tell you that it comes with a 1 x 38 tefloncoated stirring bar

In fact the box says mini stirrer though the ad does not mention this

Beware that the tracking information provided by amazon and i am not talking about the estimated delivery date is meaningless they may say it has been delivered even if it has not and their customerservice people will just keep telling you that the estimated delivery time is only approximate

I had mine seem like a doa unit as it wouldnt turn the magnetic stirrer

So i opened it up and saw a part i assume was the coil bent over into the pair of magnets in the center

However it does get a tad noisy when the stirrer is spinning on the glass of the flask

I only gave it 4 stars since i had to fix something that was brand new
