Rubumix-10 2a

[hillhead]

Hello all,
my mixing drill packed in today unfortunately so with the amount of work i have on i needed a new one asap.I rang around till i got hold of one which was the
RUBIMIX-10 2A,i lifted it this evening and stuck it on my account in the tile shop so i could decide if it was ok or not !! £272 vat included was the charge,does that sound ok? my last one was £170 but this one seems better,
any comments greatly appreciated and any Rubi men could say if i got a good deal or not?

I am well impressed with it. It has never even got hot when I have used it and I have mixed a full 22kg bag of addy at once.

There is a alot of cross licensing in the tools industry, for parts and designs. ALOT of manual cutters use almost the exact same bases for example. The base on the new Rubi T and that of the Montolit Masterpiuma, are really similar, but they're entirely different machines.

Another example is the Tomecanic Supercut and the Nuovo Super Pro. The main part of the moving breaker on both of them, are almost identical. The Tomecanic crew has added some gadgets though.

Yet another example, is my mixing drill. It's got a design which is almost identical to that of the Rubi mixer you bought, but mine was alot cheaper. It's essentially a cheaped down version of one of the simpler Collomix hand mixers. The differance is just that. It's cheaped down. The wattage on it is much higher than on the Collomix equivialent (1600, compared to 1000), to compensate for lower torque.

You've probably not been ripped off. If you want to be ripped off, you could buy a Berg mixer. Those are pure crap, at an even higher price. I know this from experience. Mine broke, from tipping over. Enter-the-plastic type of experience that.

Thanks a lot guys,you've all been really helpfull here tonight.
tomorrow evening on my way home from work i'm calling into that shop and leaving the mixer back,i would have taken it but...........
tonight i rang a mate(another tiler),told him the situation and he told me his has been working for 5 years now and the amount of use is unreal,this guy can tile 40-50 m a day no prob, his mixer is a Alfra i think,german.
Anyway his nephew had bought one 5 months ago and his business didn't take off so he is willing to sell me his mixer which is the same model as my mates,yipee.
so tonight i will give him £100 for a mixer which should last for years and which has only done about a 100m of work !!
I'm smiling now,just waiting on phone call to go collect it.
Joe.
