I have a rubi one and they are a nightmare to keep clean and not standard m14 thread if i recall...

If you want a decent mixer at a reasonable price , then try the evolution twister.

I've got one. I haven't made my mind up on it yet though. Its certainly 'different' to using a single paddle mixer. It does mix rather well though. Takes a bit more cleaning after as well, getting your brush in between the whisks

description says m14.120mm, where as single vitrex 1400w is m14,140mm. what ever that means!

Personally can't see the point of a double paddle for mixing tile adhesive....

bit of overkill,aye. eyes are bigger than me belly:lol:

Had my twister about 3 yrs now. They can be bought for around 80 odd quid

did you buy the rubi with the intention of replacing the twister.

I have a sure fire way of cleaning my paddle with ease. 20ltr bucket half filled with the smallest smooth pebbles then water. After your mix, dip in, spin up and your paddle comes out spotless.

Have you tried that with a duplex paddle .. lol .. i think it might jam up.

Yes i do it every time. I now just keep the pebbles in the bucket and fill up with water as normal. Then there is never any build up, try it.
