Concrete mixers — Description

A concrete mixer lets you prepare concrete, mortar or plaster mix without mixing by hand. The category has a small range of Besk models with 160, 180 and 200 litre drums and 800–900 W motors, suited to home and small building jobs. Go by drum volume, which sets how much you can mix at once, and by motor power. Also look at the stability of the frame and wheels, the drum tilting mechanism for unloading, and how comfortable the handles are when moving the machine. For a small job a medium volume is usually enough.
