Does anyone use one? I'm trying to figure out which brand to buy. Can I use one to make whipped cream? The reviews on Amazon are love/hate, and then I saw on the Ikea website that they sell one for $1.99 (vs $15-30 on Amazon).

Confused.....

Love, love, love milk frothers! I had the one from Ikea, and it lasted about a year. It worked very well, and I don't mind replacing something that only cost $1.99. I would have been mighty frustrated if I'd needed to replace a $20 frother after a year. I say get the Ikea model and see how you like it.

If you have a French Press you can froth milk in one of those too.

I have the Ikea one, and like it a lot.

But before I had it, I used a "poor man's latte" version. Put milk in a tupperware, seal, shake!
