There are only so many things a rotator can do. This one rotates, like many others, but has the advantage of speed regulation and comes with a range of paddles/adapter that are easily exchangeable without tools. Because of that, the fixation of the adapters to the base could be considered a bit unstable, so don't push your tubes in too hard. Personally, I would have loved an adaptor that fits both 15ml and 50ml falcon tubes at the same time, but unfortunately, you can do only either or combine 15ml and small tubes.
