Beyond Shakers Fitness Premium Insulated Stainless Steel Protein Mixer Supplement Bottle - Metal and BPA Free Black & White for Gym 735ml

This is my 3rd shaker, I have one for hot drinks and one for cold drinks unfortunately I damaged the seal on my cool one when I was cleaning it. (a replacement seal pack would be great!) love the new colour options.These shakers are very good quality, nice weight in the hand and very nice to open and close.

I really wanted to give 5 stars for this product, but a couple of things unfortunately let it down. Just to note, this review is for the Orange shaker, which is worth noting for a later part of the review.Before I get into the negatives though, I want to start with one of the biggest benefits of this product, and that is the owner of the business. It seems like this is pretty much a one-man-show, and the service he provides is second to none. Almost instant replies, super friendly, happy to help, and above all: just wants you to be happy with the purchase. If I could I would give him 6 stars for the customer service.Onto the pros of the shaker itself:For the most part, the shaker itself is great quality. The cup section is double walled steel and feels super premium in the hand. It also kept my shake cold for hours in a fairly warm setting. For this I would give 5 stars.Aesthetically the shaker is also 5 stars, it looks the shiz and you will definitely get complimented on it. 5 stars for the aesthetics.Now onto the negatives/ constructive criticism:The part that lets it down for me, and what ultimately drove me to knock off a star (after much thought and deliberation), is the lid portion of the shaker. Unlike the rest of this product, the lid section makes use of a lot of plastic.Now I have noticed from some reviews that people have ripped into the shaker for using plastic. I don’t think it’s fair to leave a bad review for anything that is disclosed in the item’s pictures and/ or description, and it is made very obvious that this shaker makes use of plastic in its construction both in the pictures and the description.(Ideally, I do think that Beyond should explore full metal construction, even if it needs to be sold as a ‘premium’ edition for a higher cost. Personally I would happily pay £25 for this shaker if it was entirely steel.)However, what I do think is valid criticism is not simply for the use of plastic itself, but the quality of the plastic that has been used, or rather the finish of said plastic.The seams/ joints of the plastic are badly finished and can be rough and brittle as a result. I have seen small pieces break off from the seems and joints when cleaning it, which is really not what you want when, realistically, you’ve splashed out on a steel shaker to get away from plastic. I’ve included some pictures to demonstrate what I mean.In addition to this, the connection between the bladed section of the lid, and just the lid itself is sharp and staggered, meaning your shake will get stuck and dry into this crevice, making it hard to clean. From what I can tell this isn’t a physical hole in which shake will fall into and get physically trapped/ leak into, rather it is just a staggered connection between two sections, creating a sharp rim/ lip around it. The blades get in the way, making it difficult to clean.The blades themselves suffer a similar issue (also pictured), where the finish just isn’t great, and I can definitely see this plastic breaking off over time, particularly if you are using the whisk ball - which I am intentionally not using to avoid chipping off plastic.Overall though the plastic actually doesn’t seem brittle and actually seems pretty solid and good quality, so if the finish was just better, I genuinely don’t think there would be any issues. I would still prefer a full metal construction though as mentioned earlier.Staying on the topic of the bladed section, this is a cool addition to help mix up the shake. However, after purchasing one of the green shakers (to give as a gift) in addition to my two orange ones, I noticed that there are actually some inconsistencies from product to product, despite it looking like all the shakers are the same apart from the colour. To be specific, the green model had no bladed section in the lid at all. This is not removable for the user, so it’s not like it was simply missing, the product had been made this way. Additionally, the bottle itself was actually slightly taller and thinner, and the measurements on the inside were not as user friendly. Because of the slightly different shape, the lid between the orange and green shakers were incompatible with each other. This isn’t necessarily a big problem, but it’s worth noting I think, particularly if you are expecting to have the bladed part in your lid.Overall though, a nice product with a great CEO, but the plastic parts of the product need improving, and it would be nice to see some more consistency between each colour variant.

I stopped buying plastic shakers and moved to stainless steel a while ago. I should say for the environmental reasons but actually because plastic shakers smell bad after a while which can’t be washed off. This is the best stainless steel shaker I’ve bought so far. It looks great. It feels super robust, well constructed and great to the touch. The double walled design means it doesn’t get covered in condensation so hands stay dry when training. It’s also super easy to clean with no cracks for powder to get stuck. So far so good. Great product especially for the price.

I bought this - as I didn't want a plastic one.It's advertised as stainless steel inside - but the lid and mixer bit attached to it are plastic.The metal ball inside that you shake around will smash repeatedly into this plastic... breaking it apart and it ending up in your protein drink.The lid mesh/mixer bit made out of plastic is very badly formed - loose bits of stringly plastic are hanging between the 'blades' like spiders webs.... so it has been made very cheaply.Waste of time - and very misleading to advertise this as with a steel interior... as due to the shape of the inner lid and the metal ball this will probably lead to you eating more plastic than a regular plastic one with a flat inner lid.0/5 stars ---- useless.

What a fantastic bottle, I have gone through quite a few in a recent years and I was looking for a new one. I send couple of different bottles back as they were not so good until I found this one. It’s a really good bottle, it doesn’t leak, it’s easy to clean, it keeps temperature inside which is an interesting new feature for me. It’s really well made and I love the ombré effect, so it looks amazing too. All in all it’s such a great bottle that I already have 2 and thinking of getting another one as I am doing my shakes in batches. Highly recommend
