Satisfied,

"A little smaller than I thought it would be. Assembly easy except for installing the inside blades, instructions say it turns cw and align blades in that direction, finally gave up and put them in the way they fit, but actually it turns ccw, so they were in correctly. My wheel barrow didn' t fit under it without tipping the wheel barrow up, good thing I had a helper, with the first batch. If your mixing by yourself, check the wheel barrow clearance before you start. Disappointing that it went on sale shortly after I got it...."

Cement mixer,
July 20, 2009
"I'm very pleased with my mixer. Very easy to use and plenty of power. I use it for mortar and sidewalk jobs. It came in a box with easy to read instructions, it took 45 min to put together and was ready to go. Works well with two 80lbs bags. Well worth the money."

A Great Value for the Price,
March 23, 2009
"The mixer arrives in pieces and took about 2 hours to assemble, but the instructions were clear and I was able to do it all by myself with a socket set and simple tools.
I used it to pour footings for a new deck, and also some repair work on the foundation of a summer cabin. It saved me a ton of backbreaking labor.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that I think the motor is just a little underpowered for the capacity of the machine. You can fit 2 bags of standard pre-mix concrete but this strains the motor and after a few batches the breaker in the motor will trip from overheating. However mixing one bag a a time it works like a champ and you can mix a lot of mud in a pretty short time with a minimum of strain.
The wheels make it easy to move around, and it's lightweight enough that i can get it in the back of my pick up by myself (although it's much easier with two people)
For the price - its a winner."

Great machine for the money.,
February 25, 2009
"We bought the mixer for use around our acerage. It seems there is always a need for a batch of concrete from time to time. We used the mixer to pour a flagstone walk from the house to our new garage. The mixer worked great. Assembly was easy due to the very clear and understandable instructions. The mixer has plenty of power and empties well when dumping. I would mix two 80# bags of quickcrete at a time with no problem. This is a great machine and I would recommend it to anyone."

Concrete Mixer,
August 18, 2008
"I bought this to install some fence post. Man this works great I have already mixed over 125 of concrete. Now my wife want to build her a new deck and use the mixer to make a patio using concrete forms. I would recomment this to anyone that needs to do any type of concrete work. Cheaper to buy than rent for a few days. This will handle two 80lb bags ata time."
