Mini Mix 150 230 volt

Product Information

Don’t get caught out when trying to work out the capacity of a mixer. Manufacturers often state both the mixer’s entire volume capacity, as well as how much mixed material it can actually hold. One benefit of small cement mixers are they are easy to store and transport. A portable electric model, weighing around 30 kg, will be more manageable to move around, e.g., up steps or over difficult terrain (though you might have to mix cement in smaller batches). For easier transportation and storage, consider a cement mixer that divides into two pieces. This large Excel Portable Cement Mixer is the best value cement mixer. It has a spacious drum volume of 140 L and a powerful 550 W motor. Yet, despite its large size, this mixer is around the same price as the smaller electric mixers featured here. This cement mixer has a drum volume of 120 L which is a good size whether you’re laying paving or redoing a driveway. It has a wide metal drum, suitable for loading with a shovel, and is tall enough to fit a wheelbarrow underneath for unloading. Keen DIYers will know the benefit of using a cement mixer. Although mixing cement can be done without one (either mixing by hand or with a paddle mixer) – it’s certainly pretty hard work.

To use, simply switch the machine on and allow the 550 W motor to do its job. This machine can be plugged into the mains so there’s no need for a transformer. It has a 220 W Hyundai engine which creates a powerful and reliable cement mixer. It can be plugged into the mains and has a 3 m cable for easy placement. The drum mouth is 26 cm wide which helps with loading. This mixer uses mains power and has a drum speed of 34 rpm. The angle of the mixer can be adjusted, allowing you to load and unload in the most convenient way.

If you’re only doing jobs around the home, such as mixing concrete for foundations, pathways and drives, you may not need a cement mixer with a huge drum capacity. Although the majority of models have wheels, heavier machines can still be hard to manage. This is especially true if you need to lift the mixer onto a stand, or lift it over different levels in the garden. Straight away you might be thinking – why would I buy a small cement mixer when I could just rent a large one? This Handy Electric H-frame Cement Mixer is an excellent all-rounder. It has a reliable 550 W motor that works well to power the 125 L drum and is suitable for small/medium DIY jobs. It’s also easy to move around, as it’s one of the lightest cement mixers featured here, weighing 30 kg.

Owning a cement mixer can be particularly useful for DIYers who are about to embark on a string of different projects in the house and garden. Concrete mixers can be used for other jobs besides cement mixing; they can even be used to mix plaster, animal feed or potting soil. Despite its large size, this cement mixer is manoeuvrable and easy to store. The stand can be removed, meaning the unit can be stored in two parts. Just be aware that the drum unit has wheels on the bottom to aid transportation, but the stand does not. This means that to transport the mixer, you’ll need to take it apart. On the plus side, this cement mixer is reasonably lightweight for its size, weighing 45.5 kg which will help with manoeuvrability. The mixer is fitted with a 550 W motor (significantly more powerful than the ~250 W cement mixers featured here), and has a drum volume of 135 L. The opening of the rotating drum is 38.3 cm, making it possible to easily shovel material. This electric concrete mixer has a 113 L mixing volume which is equivalent to approximately 1.5 wheelbarrows. It works efficiently to mix concrete thanks to its 550 W motor. Assembly is straightforward although it can help to have an extra pair of hands to fit the drum. It takes approximately one hour to put together and the instructions are clear.The volume capacity refers to the volume of the whole drum. Naturally, not all of this will be usable space when mixing.

Assembly takes approximately two hours, which is arguably longer than you might expect for such a small, portable concrete mixer. The instructions need to be followed carefully and there are some videos on YouTube which can make the process easier. This cement mixer is also reasonably noisy, despite its small size. For the most part, assembly is fairly simple; the instructions are illustrated and reasonably clear. The main issue that can occur during assembly is knowing which way round to fix the paddles (which can cause confusion with a lot of cement mixers). Some smaller, lightweight mixers will weigh around 30 kg. However, it’s not unusual for even small mixers (suitable for small/medium jobs) to weigh between 40 – 60 kg. As you’ll see from the machines listed below, I recommend using an electric cement mixer for domestic jobs rather than a petrol machine . Mains-powered cement mixers are good value for money, require little maintenance, and don’t emit fumes. Although this concrete mixer weighs a pretty substantial 52 kg, it’s surprisingly portable. There are wheels on the base of the sturdy frame for transporting it across smooth surfaces.No matter the size of mixer you choose, look for a model with wheels to help with moving around the house and garden. Flexibility and Precision: Our Concrete Mini Mixers are designed to provide flexibility and precision in delivering the right amount of concrete for your project. Whether you’re working on a small patio, driveway, or DIY home improvement project, our mini mixers ensure that you receive the perfect amount of concrete, minimizing waste and cost.

The Scheppach ECO MIX Electric Cement Mixer is a reliable yet basic machine. It’s suitable for small/medium DIY jobs and doesn’t overcomplicate things. The machine has a welded bottom drum and fully enclosed cast iron gears. Its motor is protected by labyrinth housing, cooled by dual fans. Renting mixers can get pretty expensive, and the cost of buying a small mixer may work out to be the same as renting a larger one– or even work out cheaper. Plus, when you own the mixer yourself, you have more room for error; it won’t cost you by the day if your project runs over. It weighs 43.8 kg and is fitted with wheels to make it easier to manoeuvre over the majority of garden terrain. Electric cement mixers are very easy to use and generally lighter than petrol powered models. The only downside is that you’ll need a power source nearby, or for it to have a very long cord.

Whilst some machines come with a frame that is integral to the mixer, others can be lifted on and off the stand as required. This can help with storage, as it allows the mixer to be divided into two pieces. However, some people may struggle to lift the heavy body of the mixer onto the frame by themselves. The structure of the mixing drum of the JZC350 concrete mixer is simplified as a double cone, and high and low blades are welded in the cylinder, forming a certain angle with the mixing shaft. As the mixing drum rotates, the blades make the material rise and fall at the same time as the axial reciprocating stirring. Therefore, the mixer has better mixing effect. The mixing time is about 30-40 seconds.
