Here is another review for a shaker cup I received from www.ShakeItUpCup.com. This cup is similar to some of the other shaker cups that I have used before, but has a few notable differences:

1. The ridges on that go around the top really help you screw the top down tight, and help you get a good grip when removing the top after you have screwed it on tightly.
2. The screen seems to attach to the top rather than resting in the cup. At first, I didn’t quite understand, but then I plugged the scree into the top and it stayed really well. This is nice because it helps keep the screen and the top together, so you have fewer pieces to worry about when washing and drying.
3. The overall manufacturing quality of this cup is pretty good. The plastic is thick, solid and feels rather durable. The cup doesn’t leak at all, even when shaken really hard. Some of the other shaker cups I have used in my years had similar designs, but the quality of the cup just didn’t feel very solid. This cup feels strong and gives me the feeling that it will last.

I used this cup a number of times for several different protein powders, and noticed that the mixing results were better than some other cups. Even my poorly mixing proteins (won’t mention any names) were able to come out mostly smooth from this cup.

I received the “Turbo Shaker” cup compliments of TurboShaker.com

This shaker cup is different from any other shaker cup I have used for several reasons:

1. The lid does not screw on. At first, I was afraid that super hard shaking would just blow the top off and I would spill my protein shake everywhere. I was cautious first, but then became more comfortable with the idea as I noticed the lid really stayed on well.
2. Instead of having some sort of screen between the cup and lid, this cup has some fins at the top and bottom which help in the mixing process. As I shake, I can actually see the liquid inside starting to rotate.
3. There are only a total of two pieces, instead of four. Most shakers consist of the cup, screen, top and lid. The problem is cleaning all those parts, and often times losing the little lid down the drain or in the dishwasher. The turbo shaker only has two pieces, so it is a lot easier to keep together.

After doing a few mix tests, it doesn’t seem like the turbo shaker mixes any better than any other shaker cup. I was surprised since I thought the turbo fins would really assist in the mixing process. I guess it is pretty hard to really tell if they are working or not since I shake my protein shakes so hard anyway.

Overall, the Turbo Shaker is a convenient way to mix your protein shakes or any other supplements that need mixing. With the two piece design, it is a lot easier to hang onto this one.
