I bought a lidl one about 2 1/2 years ago, mix 40 to 50 bags of adj a week. Never let me down. Will get another one when they come in store next.

Good price that, I wonder is it variable speed? can't see any thing on the ad.

Just seen a belle mixer,110v inTP for £112 +, looked a big un as well

 

[J Sid]

No Phil it is not variable speed, have to control it on trigger, that's the down side. But saying that i would get one again.

I got the Lidl Mixer a few months ago. The variable speed trigger takes a bit of getting used to, but the good points include 1. The auto slow start 2.The bracket you can fit to the handle so that you can hang it up in the back of the van, 3. comes with a 3 year warranty. ( of course we're not using it for 'commercial work')
Its a great piece of kit.

I will second that, I use mine for mixing SLC, at the price I paid it can't be beaten.

i would recomend the rubi basic line mixer had mine two years still going strong, you get spare brushes its a variable speed all the buttons are in the right place and the paddle is still good after being banged with a mallet loads of times to remove rapid set, think it cost me about £90 also good for slc
