i am looking for a mixing drill as i am not a fan of margin trowel elbow grease n rapidset for 52m2 of tile, i had a rubi bl9 and sent it back a week later due to gears slipping upgraded and bought the rubimix 10 which imo is a fantastic piece of kit quality parts made in the EU, that was while living in the USA now back in UK and i found one new for £159 thats for the kit,
was also looking at the perles pm61000e for £117

any suggestions on a decent mixer for less than £150

i have the evolution twister from screwfix does the job for me and i use it most days £100

Don't use the Topps tile one, is crap

I ended up getting the Flex R500 single speed no frills just a cracking machine, spent 1st day knocking out 10 bags of self leveling...ate it for breakfast..a very quiet machine and very smooth as good as my old Rubimix 10 and a lot more comfortable to use.
got it from Diatech along with a Sigma 3cm and the Quonsol mitre next day delivery.

Ive got a sparky mixer had it for 2 yrs and its done some work! getting a bit noisey now and was looking at to replace it and was looking at the flex one but i might buy another sparky as its cheapish at 100-120 and its 2 speed etc. very leight weight and well balanced to use easy to hold while pooring addy in at the same time!!!

try the DTA Boss mixer
been using for 8 months now seems good has a lever to change gears for slow mixing (grout slc)766_lrg.jpg

Hard to beat a good mixer. i use an eibenstock and it's superb.
Paddles don't last long now a days.??

I have the same at present and it copes with every day mixing day in day out no probs.. i have mixed 30odd bags of slc in one session no probs..

Got my trusty Dewalt and seems indestructible.
