A mixer is transportable and storable without using much space. A mixer includes a body including a motor and an output shaft rotatable when driven by the motor, extending downward, and being connectable to a mixer shaft, a handle attachable to the body, and a lock unit located on the body. The lock unit is engageable with the handle at an attachment position of the handle to the body to lock the handle at the attachment position. The lock unit is operable to disengage from the handle to unlock the handle at the attachment position.

A cooler includes a body made of an insulating material. The body includes a base and a sidewall upstanding from the base. The sidewall includes an upper rim defining an opening into the body. A lid releasably couples to the upper rim of the sidewall and covers the opening. A battery is coupled to the body. A mixer is coupled to an inner surface of the body and includes a motor electrically coupled to the battery. The mixer is configured to circulate water within the body when the motor is powered by the battery.

A fluidic dispensing device includes a housing having a chamber that defines an interior space, and has an inlet port and an outlet port. A flow control portion has a flow separator feature. The flow separator feature is positioned adjacent the inlet port. A stir bar is located in the chamber, has a rotational axis, and has a plurality of paddles, with each paddle having a free end tip. The stir bar has a stir bar radius from the rotational axis to the free end tip. A guide portion confines the stir bar in a predetermined portion of the interior space of the chamber. A ratio of the stir bar radius and a clearance distance between the free end tip and the flow control portion is 5:2 to 5:0.025.

A self-propelling container having: a top; a bottom; a plurality of vertical walls extending between the bottom and the top; an inner bag for holding contents to be dispensed; a female coupling configured to receive and establish a friction seal with a male coupling of an external device for inserting or extracting the contents to or from the container after the friction seal is established between the female and male couplings; and at least one independent panel positioned inside the container; a compressible element associated with the at least one independent panel wherein during filling of the inner bag the compressible element is compressed, thus causing the at least one independent panel to exercise pressure onto the inner bag, and thus, helping to empty the inner bag.
