Hi all,

I feel like all I do is post questions at the moment!

Just wanted to know what paddle mixers you guys tend to use for mixing your addy.

Anyone know of any good deals about at the moment for one of decent quality?

Cheers

i recently got one from wicks as i was in a rush my evolution packed up, its not bad for the money 110 v , no variable speed

My evolution is still going strong & that was £50 or £60 a few years back. Got a Rubi BL mixer about £90. Good feel to it a good variable speed but it's my second as my first burnt out after 2 mixes. Can smell the bushes when mixing full speed.

I bought a megamixer from Diatech lately and it's made by eibenstock which is top whack IMO.
Pricey though but unreal lifespan usually.

Tradetiler have just started doing a Vitrex one, think it's about 85 quid.

I have the Sparky 110v from S....Fix and a Metabo 240v which i have had for over 9 years now and still going great.

Waz that the budget one

Don't run out and get the Rubi BL single mixer, I've only had it for 8 mouths and it's on it's last legs, a total waste of money. it can't cope with a full bucket of addy, in fact today, it was giving out that horrible burnt out smell.

I use an old bosch for mixing addy but my eibenstock for plaster...

There is cheap and expensive about but at the end of it all as long as it does the job then happy days.
My new one can mix a full bag with ease, big machine though so time will tell how it lasts.
I have my old eibenstock too so must get it mended and keep as a spare.

rubi mix 10 ,goes on and on and on ,top tool

I've been mixing plaster and tile adhesive for about 2 years with the same 2KG Bosch SDS drill, I've been told it will burn motor out but it keeps going.

Don't really see the need for a special mixer, I already have a diamond core drill (£££'s) and suppose that would work aswell.
