Let's review the top Concrete Mixers for achieving the perfect mortar brew. Just to let you know I haven't used all the mixers on the list below, but I have used many over the years and do know what to look for when buying one.
First of all I stick with electric mixers. They are much cheaper to run and on the odd occasion that power has not been available, I'll just hire a gas powered mixer.
Second thing to be aware of is those non adjustable low profile push mixers. It's impossible to tip the mud into a wheel burrow because they are not high enough.
Other things to consider are the Mixers bowl capacity, the power of the motor and the design of the blades. All have an impact on the brew time and achieving good consistent batches. A bricklayer needs a mixer to be stable yet portable enough to get on the back of a truck. One last thing to remember when picking a cement mixer is never ignore quality. A good mixer, if well looked after should last for years.
