This little thing has changed the way we mix! Im a residential GC and we do quite a few off jobs where we have to pour pads for AC equipment, stair landing or small utility cuts. This mixer is the absolute business for bagged concrete! This weekend we did (45) 50lb bags in the mixer, two at a time with no issues. Build quality is pretty durable, think street trash can but with much thicker plastic, and the metal stand has no give to it, we stood on it 😅.
Notes:
-for anyone having difficulty, the motion is not just rocking the handles from side to side, you sort of have to jiggle/stutter it as you turn the mixer to the side to get the 'ball' being mixed to detach and fall. This is the folding action that actually does the vast majority of the work. Was able to mix 100lbs in about a minute of work using the methods described here.
-get a bucket and use a line inside to keep track of how much water you use. After a couple of cycles it becomes easy to get perfect consistency every time!
-We bolted ours about 8" up on a wooden box and put a sheet of plywood under it angled into our form. Was way easy to just dump it there and rake it down into our form.
-definitely going to modify ours with a locking collar for the other side. Figuring out you put the mixer the wrong way to lock it while your first bags are mixed already is annoying.....
Other than that, build quality is extremely stout. think like a street trash can but with maybe double the thickness to the plastic.
