Have to agree, i've had a rubi mixer for years and it's been trouble free. I would buy another

I've had a rubi mixer for about 3 years now. Not had any issues yet.

My 1st one lasted 4 years before kicking the bucket. My 2nd one looked and felt cheaper and broke within 6 months.
It took 5 weeks to get a repair which lasted 2 days before failing again.
I also had a snotty comment from the rep that he wasn't going to re-fit the paddles as they needed a good clean and then I had a lecture on keeping the paddles clean so it didn't break again!
I keep my tools very clean. He failed to spot that a broken mixer is not the best tool to use for cleaning paddles when it broke mid-mix!

It's now been another 4 weeks and I have no mixer.
It's the last Rubi anything I buy

I got the vitrex paddle mixer that hasnt let me down its more powerful than the rubi 1's so hopefully last longer

Well that's pants!
Touch wood mines been ok. Having said that some of my recent Rubi purchases haven't felt the best quality in one way or another.

My TR600 I used to have developed a wobble at about the two year point. Parts to replace seemed quite pricey. So bought the TX700 for a very good price to replace it. 18 months on and it's devloping the same wobble.

when i see base/basic line it just seem to say cheap version,doesnt seem that rubi have the best marketting team. some of their base line products get good reviews,but some not.they should rename the line. also i think theyre spreading themselves way to thin,sigma are gonna be my choice,they seem to be converting more and more of the pros on this site,i think ive read loads of posts from dave ,he starts of swearing by rubi,know it seems hes all about sigmas.

I use a rubi nd200 with Montolit dna blade and the cutter has been rock solid for my purpose....

 

[rich83]

ive heard thats a good combo.dont you think all the cheap cutters they do, ie for the diy market.have co incided with the rise of sigma,and the complaints from pros about decreasing quality.im just going by posts read.i just noticed a trend.although rubi probably make a shed load of cash off of the diy products.i cant imagine theres massive money to be made just from the professional market.

Hi rich.

Yes I used Rubi for a lot of years and was maybe blinded by the name that was once quality , but it is very true that sigma is the better brand and you will enjoy using them , trust me on that.

cheers dave, i believe you have the 2g, the price seems way too low whats the catch, think im also gna opt for 3cm,think the klick klock is a bit of a gimmick,although it may be a good bet

The 2g is a gem of a cutter. If you get the 3 series then think about the pull handle , truly is the better model IMO.

 

[rich83]

pull is the 3b i believe,what ill do is get the 2g which i think is pull and see how it feels,cheers

Rich , we all like a pull now and again. :lol:

Ye get the 2g and get a feel of the action , I did prefer the kk handle but soon realised the break with the pull handle is smoother and quicker.

 

[rich83]

nope dont know what you mean:whistling: . ill defo keep that in mind,cheers

 

[gamma38]

kk handle for me. love it....
