looking at buying a kleever cp400 or a raimondi ipertina but cant justify it at the moment as i am not doing enough stone work right now ,buying a belle minimix 150 110v tomorrow £310 plus vat from a local independant

What is the advantage of using Raimondi Iperbet then Gary ?, whats wrong with a whisk ?

Now that's what I call marketing! I am impressed Andy - anyone with such originality must get loads of business from people seeing the van. Only thing missing on the signwriting is "Est. 1898" :lol:

If you're doing big floors DP, or even tanking your pools it's amazing.
I pour in the measured amount of water (takes a coupla mixes to get just right), wang in the adhesive, wander off and tile, tea break etc, come back and it's mixed perfectly.
It's different as the motor is underneath and it spins the bucket,so it's really stable and doesn't through adhesive about.

i see it's a mixer you can leave to mix onit's own, and not make a mess ! well it sounds better than most labourers then , i bet it will be expensive .....though

the ipertina is a floor buffing/polishing machine as is the kleever cp 400 i have a large stone job in the pipe line with around 600m2 of marble flooring where the customer wants seamless jointing so i am looking into buying the equipment for this job, the belle concrete mixer is for a large patio tiling job which is 135m2 sand and cement tiling i amd being asked to do loads of balcony roof terraces and monolithic fixing so the mixer will come in very handy

They are usually about £800ish, yep quite a lot of dosh. I phoned up Trimline and they were cutting stock so i payed about £350 i think, i had tons of floors on at the time so it paid for itself in no time. Mixes two 20kg bags in on go.
