This is my second milk frother. My first one, which I got on amazon, lasted for two years of literally every day use. I really liked it and looked for another one like it. That brand disappeared but this Homenize model is almost exactly like it. It works very well (creates very good froth), looks sleek and modern (I got the black one) and the batteries are very easy to put it/take out. It has one other major plus, which I'll get to in a second.When I looked for this new frother I was surprised at how many different ones are out there now. I was also very surprised that most of them are not flat on the bottom, but are angled so you can't set them up on end to store them -- you need to either lay them down, set them in a container, cup or glass so they stand upright, or you need to get a separate stand for them (some come with a stand). But that's crazy. Why go through that -- and take up extra room to store the thing?So I hunted until I found this Homenize frother which IS flat on the bottom and thus stands perfectly on its own. That's the other major plus about this one, and is essentially a big reason I bought it. I highly recommend this.
