Dropped $300 on a fancy paint mixing system that clogged up on the third use

Had to spend another Saturday afternoon taking the whole thing apart with a toothbrush and thinner to get it working again, so has anyone else had better luck with a different brand or am I just doing something wrong?

Buddy of mine bought that same system. First time he used it the thing just spit out this globby mess and then quit. He spent three hours stripping it down in his kitchen sink with his wife giving him the eye the whole time. Told me he threw it in the trash and just went back to stirring cans by hand like the old days. Said sometimes simple is better than fancy.

Tell @nathan100 to tell his buddy he shoulda just recorded it for a blooper reel while he was at it. Honestly, three hours tearing that thing down only to toss it in the trash sounds like a real life infomercial where the guy throws his hands up and walks away. At least he gave his wife a good story to tell at parties, right? He's got a point though, sometimes old school stirring is just more reliable than a gadget that quits on you after one go.
