Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BonJour Primo Latte Frother with Stand, Black/Brushed Aluminum
Customer Review: Love My Latte Frother
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great little machine this is. Works very well. I have used it every day for about a month & the batteries still seem to have lots of power. It really makes my morning commute coffee very special. It sits on my kitchen counter & hardly takes up any room at all. Easy to Clean. Customer Review: Great, until the battery compartment wears out!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned almost every frother on the market and this is one of the best when it comes to power, speed and comfort of use. It whips up high quality milk foam in short order (and I'm pretty picky having owned and managed several espresso bars). It is also a very solid device, creating the impression that it will last a while. Unfortunately, due to one distinct design flaw, this impression is false. The handle splits into two pieces to allow access to the battery compartment where other similar products have a door in the top in which to drop batteries into the device. This allows for a smooth, designer-y look unlike the others with their abrupt, flat tops, but eventually, after repeated replacement of the batteries, the two pieces become loose making it impossible to snap the battery compartment closed properly.
It's a shame that, in this case, good design undermines the product's lifespan. If not for this flaw the BonJour Primo would be my frother of choice. I'm going to try the older, less designer-y model Bonjour Cafe Latte Milk Frother, Vanilla White. Perhaps it will provide the same quality with a little more longevity.

Customer Review: Great except for the power switch
Summary: 4 Stars
I've gone through 2 of these already -- both of them started experiencing problems with the switch after about 6 months of use (about 600 uses). It appears that the manufacturer only guarantees that this item is not defective when you get it out of the box! I just replaced my second frother with an Aerolatte Aerolatte Frother, Satin Finish which seems to work at least as well. I just Aerolatte without the stand -- the stand from the Primo Latte seems to work just fine with the Aerolatte. Also the Aerolatte has what seems like a much better switch and has a 5 year limited warranty rather than none.
For either of the frothers, I'd suggest using rechargeable batteries -- this sucker really uses up batteries. It seems like I was replacing them about every two weeks.
Customer Review: Gave as gift- They loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gave this as gift and my friends haven't stopped raving about it so now I will have to order one for myself! Very light weight, easy to clean and works best with skim milk.
