PROMiXX PURUSIT Stainless Steel vs. Helimix: The Ultimate Showdown

When it comes to protein shakers and on-the-go bottles, we're all constantly on the lookout for that one flawless companion – you know, a bottle that fits seamlessly into their active lifestyle, consistently mixes smooth shakes, and resists wear and tear. Two options you may have come across are the new PROMiXX PURUSIT Stainless Steel and Helimix bottles. But obviously, only one bottle can be crowned the best, so which is it?

Helimix follows our model by eliminating the need for a typical wire whisk ball. We can get behind that. Instead, their bottle uses a unique shape that is supposed to promote turbulence and mix your ingredients. While convenient for some, the success of this design can vary depending on how thick your shakes are or how vigorously you can shake.

One of the biggest turn-offs for plastic shakers is the way they trap lingering smells. Helimix addresses this with a design that resists odors. That’s certainly better than a cheap shaker that turns into a stink bomb if you forget to rinse it out immediately after use.

Like many modern plastic bottles, Helimix is free from bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical often linked to health concerns. It’s always a plus to have peace of mind that no harmful substances are leaching into your post-workout drink.

While Helimix makes a decent effort in tackling a few common shaker bottle gripes - like odor retention and BPA materials - it still falls short in several important areas when compared to the advanced features of the PROMiXX PURUSIT Stainless Steel bottle. Let’s get into it.

So why does our PURUSIT Stainless Steel stand at the top of the pile? Well, firstly we’ve cemented ourselves as a brand trusted by fitness enthusiasts, travelers, and health-conscious individuals alike, and for good reason:

While Helimix leans on a specialized plastic for odor resistance, our newest PURUSIT Stainless Steel goes a step further, opting for a premium stainless steel body. Stainless steel is known for its long- lasting durability, resistance to dents, and sleek finish that retains its look even after months (or years) of heavy use.

Stainless steel not only offers superior resilience, but it’s also resistant to staining and retains very little smell. You won’t have to worry about your bottle looking worn out or catching an unpleasant odor over time.

We built our reputation on its vortex mixing technology, so a commitment to powerful, consistent mixing is pretty much part of our DNA. That said, the PURUSIT range is not a battery-powered x- blade model, it’s designed for effective mixing without a mixing ball. Instead we use a snap-fit agitator that mixes your shakes perfectly every time.

Especially if you have thicker shakes, you need a dependable mixing method. Simply relying on the shape of a plastic bottle simply doesn’t cut it.

Stainless steel naturally combats odors and stains, making the PURUSIT Stainless Steel extremely easy to clean. Just a quick rinse (and maybe some soapy water after more intense uses) will leave it fresh and ready for the next round.

Many of us know the annoyance of a smelly shaker - residual protein or pre-workout stink that just won’t go away. With stainless steel, that concern is virtually eliminated.

Much like Helimix, we ensure every one of our bottles are BPA free. However, stainless steel takes that guarantee a step further by providing a proven, food-grade safe environment for your drinks.

Trust is key. You should be able to trust that the materials in contact with your drinks meet the highest safety standards.

While this may not be the topmost priority for everyone, there’s no denying that PROMiXX PURUSIT has an impressively sleek look. With its range of striking colors and stainless steel exterior, it carries a sophisticated design appeal that a plastic bottle can’t quite match.

For many, a shaker bottle is more than just a utility item. It’s something they carry around everywhere - from the gym to the office. Looking good while staying hydrated or fueling up never hurts.

The Helimix approach certainly addresses some of the standard issues with lower-end plastic bottles, but it stops short of adopting a robust steel design. The strength and premium feel of stainless steel puts our newest PURSUIT bottle in a league of its own. If you accidentally drop it or knock it off a gym bench, you’re far less likely to damage it.

Helimix’s shape-based mixing mechanism claims to get rid of the mixing ball, but the results can be hit-or-miss: “For our 30 second time limit, it left many more granular bits with whey, and lots of even larger clumps of plant-based protein.” [Source: ChrisLovesJulia review]. The PROMiXX PURUSIT however has a superior snap-fit agitator, meaning a more thorough mix.

There’s something inherently satisfying about grabbing a well-crafted, stainless steel bottle, especially if it’s got a non-slip silicone sleeve to improve your grip. The weight, the smoothness, and even the insulating properties surpass what a plastic bottle can do. That's why the PURUSIT Stainless Steel fits seamlessly in both casual and professional settings. Whether you’re headed to the gym, on a hike, or to a meeting, you can rest assured your bottle looks and performs the part.

PROMiXX has established a name in fitness circles for consistently delivering top-tier mixing solutions. And to be frank for a second, our brand recognition isn’t just hype – we've earned it through actual innovation and longevity. From pioneering electric shaker bottles to the classic shaker range, we’ve shown a track record of pushing boundaries without sacrificing quality.

While Helimix certainly offers some decent features - no mixing ball, odor resistance, BPA-free materials - it simply can’t match the premium feel, lasting durability, and versatile mixing capabilities of our new PROMiXX PURUSIT Stainless Steel.

So, when it comes to investing in a shaker bottle, you want something that will stand up to daily wear, keep your drinks fresh and untainted, and looking good while doing it. If that doesn’t sum up PROMiXX, nothing does.
