Scientific Industries Vortex Genie 2, Analog Vortex Mixer, 120 VAC, with 3” Flat Head - Model G-560   Seller's Description:   Offered is a clean, functional Vortex Genie 2 vortex mixer, a standard workhorse for daily laboratory use when mixing flasks, vials, and tubes.  The unit features analog variable speed control and a three position switch (Touch-OFF-Hands Free) that allows for it to run intermittently on depressing the sample onto the head or continuously.  It’s base is constructed of heavy cast; the paint is in average condition, showing small chips with wear as pictured; the label on this unit is also worn.  The three-inch head is included, and though it is showing only slight wear (see picture) it does have a small crack in the middle; that said, it should get you by for a some time, depending on usage. When you need it, a replacement 3" cover ($25 -$35) or a multitude of other new accessories are available from either VWR or Scientific Industries.  Why are my Vortex Genie 2's different from other used units you'll see on Ebay?  I always upgrade these units with brand new anti-vibration feet from Scientific Industries. I’ve cleaned and tested the unit, all works as it should and the feet provide a firm soft cushion to the lab bench.  If you don't mind the cosmetics, the unit is priced at a fraction of the cost of a new unit.   Who are you buying from?  I am a professional scientist/engineer with 25 years of laboratory experience.  I know equipment: how to use it, integrate it, or re-purpose it; troubleshoot and fix it (if need be); and mostly how to source and select good used pieces for my personal use or for resale here.  I provide accurate descriptions of what it is and what it can do for you.  If you have a question on this item or in comparison to another, please feel free to ask.  Thank you!       Manufacturer's Description:    "Vortex-Genie mixers are the "Gold Standard" for laboratory mixers.  The quality and reliability, that you have come to know so well, are by design, and integral part of all Genie products".  Made in the USA.
