Evolution Power Tools013-0001 Twister Variable Speed Mixer (230 V),Black

I'm very pleased with this mixer. I bought it to mix concrete and mortar for a garden retaining wall and its foundations. It's sturdily built, with large handles and easily reached and operated speed control dial and power trigger. I particularly like the graduated way the power is applied, with the blade twisting slowly for the first few seconds before building up to full speed. It makes mixing a pleasure rather than a chore.

I bought this as a birthday present for my husband, as he is laying a new patio, and I didn't really want to buy a full size mixer for him to play with, as we don't really have the room to store one. He is absolutely delighted with it, and I have a nice tidy garden, with no bright orange eyesore sitting in the middle of it. Win Win! It performs really well mixing the sand and cement, and gives him the mixing speed and ease that he wants.

bought this instead of a drum mixer. Now I mix all cement in a wheel barrow. Much more convenient and saves time. Can now mix next to where I,m working. Very robust and good quality

This is great for a DIY job but as a professional plasterer it doesn't keep up with the small paddle provided. Had to use a larger paddle to get the mixing power of my old one. I'm assuming this will put more strain on the mixer and half its life. Lesson learned stick with what you know will work

Nothing bad to say about it.Mixes with ease
