The most authoritative life of the Chinese leader every written, Mao: The Unknown Story is based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never talked before -- and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned, and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao's rule -- in peacetime.

Failed Shortly After Purchase and Required Too Much Effort to Resolve
This product was purchased as a holiday gift for my spouse. Out of the box the product made a load mechanical noise (similar to a baseball card in bicycle spokes) – but it produced a nice heated frothed milk. Less than 3 months after first using the frother, it completely stopped frothing. The heating unit continued to work but the spinning disk did not move. I contacted the seller and within 48 hours they requested a video of proof that the frother was no longer working. I provided the requested video 6 hours after receipt of seller's request. Since then, I have not received any communications, and my follow up emails receive NO RESPONSE. Amazon should consider pulling this product and seller from their website. UPDATE: After multiple follow-up contacts over a month's time, manufacturer eventually issued a full refund.

Total game changer
Great frother. Nice capacity for a lot of foam. I've had it for a couple months. It's started out pretty quiet for about a month but I've noticed that the motor seems to be a little louder than usual but still a low sound. Not a big deal though. It works great. Just wanted to mention that the quality of milk matters. For example, I shop at Aldi and I get their oat milk. It doesn't froth as good as a higher quality name brand oat milk. Lower quality almond milk won't hardly froth at all. Get a high quality almond milk. Whole milk and 2% does great. I love the fact that I can warm my milk in case I want a hot matcha latte which I have often or golden milk. I also want to mention that I also use flavored creamer which makes a nice foam. Cold or hot This machine is a space saver. Easy to use. Easy to clean. You get two frothing elements which can be cleverly hidden under the frother when not in use. I use this almost every day. I really recommend this frother. It's a game changer

One of My Most Used Kitchen Appliances
I've been using this milk frother almost every day, and it's become one of my favorite kitchen appliances. I originally purchased it because I wanted an easy way to make coffee shop-style drinks at home instead of spending money on coffee runs. It works great for both hot and cold foam, so I use it year-round for everything from hot coffee to iced coffee. The foam comes out smooth and creamy, and it's made a noticeable difference in my homemade drinks. I also like that it's simple to use and easy to clean after each use. If you enjoy lattes, iced coffee, cappuccinos, or just want to make your morning coffee feel a little more special, this has been a worthwhile purchase for me. It's one of those products that I use often enough that it has easily earned a permanent spot on my kitchen counter.

I love this thing!
Best invention ever! This little milk frother froths perfectly every time and maintains its foam height for the perfect latte or iced coffee. It works much better than my steamer/frother on my espresso machine so much so that I don’t feel like I need the espresso machine anymore, especially if I use this in tandem with a coffee press. The frother is compact so it doesn’t take up counter space, it’s quiet, and it is easy to clean and it creates foam for a coffee that tastes like I just went to a coffee shop! What more could you ask for?

Nice product
It works well, but takes a while to heat up.
