Spin mine in water and then give it a rattle with the hammer every day or two. Does the job.

Have a Hitachi mixer and a Twister mixer, but lately been using a £35 Lidl variable speed soft start mixer which is just as good. Hasn't felt under strain at all yet and usually mix full bags at a time. Worth the money if it lasts a year.
 
Coz my rubi duplex still hasn't been booked for repair (nearly seven weeks waiting now) I've taken to using my Makita 18v li-ion cordless. It mixes a full bag of sticky easily and the best bit is this: to clean the whisk like new I just put it on full speed in reverse.
Its worth buying one just for mixing!
My virtually brand new Makita 18v li ion will not mix up a full bag of adhesive (Im assuming you mean in a one'a ?) I wouldn't risk it burning out, Ive used a dewalt sds for 7 years now with and sds chuck to m14 with a whisk from TT.

Mine will. Its the combi. Even manages a 23kg bag of tenaflex which needs mixing up very stiff.
You using the right speed there?!

I know its probably shortening the life drastically though!
